Mother's Day Dinner

Thanks, Juli for hosting a GNO Mother's Day Dinner at Bonefish! It was great seeing everyone! Happy Mother's Day!

April's GNO!

We had a fantastic time at Farris & Fosters making a ton of chocolate calories! Angela took home the most with a total of $39 in pure chocolate. Ending the night at "Denny B's" (renamed by Amy) aka Jimmy D's was a total blast. Our American Idols, Tiffany and Andrea stole the karoke show and the hearts of a ton of PolkCountians. Thanks girls for a totally cool GNO! We missed you Dee, Eliska, Carrie & Jenna!

April's Night Out @ 7pm on Fri, April 18th

Farris & Fosters is located at Lakeside Village on the west end, near Cobb Theatre. Bring an hors d'oeuvre/appetizer and beverage of choice (alcohol is permitted). The cost is $20pp (10pp or more) or $22pp (less than 10 people) I look forward to catching up with all of you! See you Friday!

March is slipping away!

Hello Ladies! I was hoping to move our night out to April. March has slipped away and with Easter and Spring Break around the corner, I thought that would be best for everyone. Some of you wanted to go out on a Friday. How does Friday, April 18th sound for everyone?

I met with Foster @ Farris & Fosters today about an event and this place is incredible. You will all love it! I've priced out the evening below. Please let me know ASAP if 4.18.08 is a good day. I know we won't be able to have everyone there, but I hope the majority of you are able to make it. If we find this date isn't good for the majority of the girls, we can obviously change it. Just let me know!

7:00pm, Farris & Fosters, Friday, April 18th

• $20 per person (10+) or $22 per person (less than 10 people)
• Everyone gets 1lb of chocolate to take home
• Bring one hors d'oeuvre to share
• Bring your beverage of choice for yourself (alchohol IS permitted) :-) Vintner's Wine Cellar has wine that pair with these chocolates!!!
• Casual attire

To *spice* things up a bit, we are going to talk about "what we do in a week". When I think about everything I do and accomplish in 7 days, it blows my mind! I want everyone to share how they "manage" it all! Sometimes, I think I'm going CRAZY!! :-)

Love you all! :-)

March 08?

Okay, as you can see on the right, there was a three-way tie between; Farris & Fosters, Cork & Olive wine tasting and dancing. Since Farris & Fosters & Cork & Olive are right around the corner from each other (@ Lakeside Village), maybe we can do both! I'm going to check out their availability and rates of both.

Some of you have said that Thursday or Friday is better. Give me feedback on that, so I can try and accommodate most of you!

Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!!!

How it all started...

We all live busy lives. We have husbands, children, work, extracirricular activies, school, etc. The past two years of my life have been extraordinary. I became a wife, mother and business owner. I've learned that taking care of myself if just as important as taking care of my son, my husband and my home. I've also learned that mothers have a special bond. whether we are working mothers or stay at home momes, we all love our children and do everything in our power to ensure they are taken care of, happy and healthy.

When I decided to re-open my company, I was nervous about the time it would take away from my son. I soon realized that working and doing something I loved doing, only made me a better mom. I know it made me a healthier person; not only mentally, but physically. I feel so blessed to have a house full of love and laughter. As I strive to be a better person a better mother and a better wife, I know I have to continue to take care of myself just as much as I take care of my family. There are three people living in our home, not two.

Surrounding myself with strong women and fabulous friends help make my life better. I have learned so much from my friends and hope those relationships continue to be a big part of my life. With that said, I wanted to start a "Ladies night out" once every other month. I just wanted a night out that we could talk, eat, relax, etc. My goal would be each night out would be planned by a different person. Our first night out was at a restaurant and we have 6 ladies....our 2nd night out was a "spa night" and there were 7 of us. I hope this starts a tradition and grows each time.

I wanted to start a blog, so we could communicate, share stories, recipes, shopping trends, children stories and more. As our group grows, I know our friendships will too! I truly believe this will help us all make it through those stressful days a work and at home. We ALL need a little time to ourselves to hang with the girls.....

Okay, so when is the next evening out with the girls? Vote now!
