I Think We've Got a Good Thing Going!

First I want to say a few things- Then I will get to business :)

100 views in less than 24 hours and we just keep getting more hits!!!

Now I'm going to ask that you go a step further and subscribe to this blog. Subscribing is beneficial because it allows you to see a post when it's posted. When we schedule events or have new ideas for a day out you can check up as soon as you are notified.

Look to your right! You can subscribe by clicking on the "join this site" icon in the right column of this page. If you are on your phone, which most of you probably are make sure you are viewing in web version to this option.

Look down! I have added a few links to make this easy to share with other women.  At the bottom of each post there will be icons to share on Facebook. Twitter, etc (Does anyone have Twitter? How does it work! I think I need someone to show me!) You can also email a specific post if you would like.

AND- I created an email for direct communication to me about this blog and our plans. It's easy to remember- LadiesAllDay@gmail.com

A Little Inspiration

If you clicked on the links from the first post you probably ran across a website called Her Future. I haven't been on this site much, but its starting to look like a great place to be! I signed up for it awhile ago and have just received emails and deleted them. (Hey! I'm being honest!) But yesterday an email from them caught my eye and I realized that this is a great resource for what I'm going for on this blog. Here is the link from the email. Check it out. I'd like to know what everyone thinks. (Being honest again, I wouldn't include some of the information on this blog, but it is interesting and some of it scary to think about)

Here are a few passages I liked: "we need each other for inspiration, encouragement, support, and FUN as we work to heal and rebalance our world. It’s not enough to win at a man’s game; we need to create success on our own terms, in a radiantly feminine way."
"If you’re like most women, you’re ready to step into a bigger, bolder life. You recognize that this world needs YOU-needs all of us – to step up as fully empowered, inspired, engaged women waking up to our feminine fullness and offering it to the world in a bigger way."
Thank You Inspiring Women Summit!

Let everyone know what you think in the comments section below. What blogs do you follow? What do you do in your free time? (I blog and read blogs, obviously! I'm also a huge fan of Pinterest!)

Now What We're Really Here For

I have had a bunch of feedback for ideas on what to do. Now the question is WHEN?
I have a full calendar for the rest of April. How about we plan on May? It will be a simple get together with a craft to get to know one another. Please invite a girlfriend (or 2 or 3...), especially if you aren't comfortable coming alone for the first time. Lets make friends and connect with different women! I want everyone to be comfortable coming, knowing that we will probably all step out of our comfort zone.

The Plan For May

Melony suggested doing a Vision Board (<--- That's a link to show you what a vision board is)
I love this idea for the 1st event! Let's be selfish and create our own, with our own goals in life for the next year. Then maybe we can do this every May?

Come prepared with magazines, newspapers, scrapbook supplies, glue sticks and any other scraps you find inspiring. (Please don't spend money unless you have to! We can share supplies.)
We will find, cut out and discuss what our goals and dreams are. While doing that we can adhere everything on a sheet of card stock (which I can have ready for everyone). Then before we leave for the day we can share some of the items we placed on our board and why. I think this will create connections with each other that may otherwise never have been brought up.

What I Need From You

What date and time that works best. Since I will be hosting this month my calendar is where we should start. I think a weekend would be best. If not we can plan a weeknight. Tuesdays are always out for me and Thursday and Fridays can be hard as well. I have the following dates open: (Weekend days/nights) 5th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th. If a weeknight works better I will look into my calendar again for dates. Please email ladiesallday@gmail.com or leave a comment on what works best for you. Majority will rule.
I also need an RSVP so I know the amount of card stock/supplies I need to gather. Remember, you will need to gather things too and be prepared to share supplies and ideas.

Please plan on bringing your own food/drinks/snacks- and plan on attending for more than a few hours. I, again, want to encourage you to invite a friend and share this blog address.

When I have a count of people coming I will plan the place and time. It will probably be at a park or my house.

Our Kids

In a previous post (The Scoop) I talked about "The Trade Off". If you have kids and a husband willing please let me know ahead of time so we can plan where they will be meeting as well.

To Those Who Can't Make It

I encourage you to submit your picture, a picture of your board and a brief description of who you are and what your board means to you. We want to connect with everyone! You can contact me or someone you know in the group with your stuff. I will post it when I get it. (Emailing is probably the easiest way to communicate things like this to me. ladiesallday@gmail.com)

Finally

If you do not want your picture or information posted on this site I need to know so I can keep your stuff private.
