What a great afternoon! Today was a perfect day, even though yes, came home with a little bit of pink on the top of the shoulders. Opps, note to self: When the kids get sunscreen, so does Mommy!
I met with a group of women in my local area that have come together on Facebook to Network, thanks to the spearhead thought of one forward-thinking woman. The group of women truly is a fantastic group of people and I'm excited to be able to be one of them. It has been a great way to get to connect with other Moms who all have similar goals to be there for family while still operating their own business of some sort. I really have learned how much work it takes to do it all, and have so much appreciation for the working mom. Women who really do it all! Runing a Family, a Home and a Business is no small victory. It's truly a remarkable one! It is great to make connections and see yourself a little in each individual, to feel that you are not alone. The more we can share with each other the better, I think, that life gets for each person. I know that I sure appreciate when I hear someone else who either has a great tip to offer, a great recipe to share or even appreciates a tip or shared recipe I have to offer, someone who has the same dreams for their family, or someone who has had a problem just like yours or who is a positive light to someone else. Feeling a sense of connection is such a wonderful gift as we all spin through this chaos that is everyday life. To be in companionship of great women is a blessing.
Today was extra fun, as the meetup was focused on being kid-friendly. It was a great day with snacks, face painting, a yard full of toys and all the things a kid could want out at our hostesses family friendly and beautiful acreage, and of course...the favorite of the day...BOUNCING!
Thank you to the ladies that made this happen for all of us!! From bringing yourself and snacks, to our wonderful administrator, our fabulous hostess and definately the woman of the hour who shared her wonderful business with the Big BOUNCING Giraffe for the kids!
I'm excited to make wonderful new friends and acquiantances.
Oh right...about the "Unmeltable Ice Cream Cones". I woke up this morning with no snack ready to take with me, (how many times does that happen as a mom...yup!) and although I'd promised to make my pretzels that I had blogged about a couple days ago, I hadn't got around to it but I was not about to go empty handed.
So it was crunch time this morning as I was rushing around the house to get ready, and I had to put on my thinking cap... and have to say I was pretty satisfied with the outcome.
Who knew you could bake a muffins in an ice cream cone?! I had heard of it, and decided to give it a whirl today. My kids I think ate most of them. At least I know they had a new one in their hands every time I turned around.
They made an easy party treat for that last minute "Opps I have to bring something moment!" But I'll post the recipe in a seperate blog and just sign off this one by saying "Thanks for a great day!"
