Monday Happenings...

What a quick and fun weekend....we held our annual Family Halloween Party and oh boy it was a HUGE success. Not only did we have over 100 people at our home but we collected a lot of food for the local food pantry! 

This week is CRAZY Busy for me! 
 Today and Wed are the only days I am home. 
 Tomorrow is such an exciting day as I am meeting some blogging friends, in person, in NYC! Mary from Homegrown Learners and Theresa from Magnolia Lane.  A little retail therapy and then lunch at Tony DiNapoli's!  So excited to meet them IRL!  

 Then Thursday I leave for the Relevant Conference in Hershey PA.  That time will be 3 1/2 days away from my family in fellowship, prayer, learning and reflection. I will come away from the conference with a sense of renewal for sure!  You can find me on Twitter and FB during the conference!  

Today we continued our fun Halloween Themed studies with....
