March 12th Shopping Trip *More Info

Here is the original post in case you missed it- Vintage Shopping Trip

I've been gathering more information to make sure we are all on the same page,

Here are the bullet points:

• Meeting there at 11am (because lets be honest, getting there by 10am with 2 kids of my own plus a carpool isn't going to happen) *See Picture Below
• Parking is $5 (You're gonna want to carpool so you don't waste more money on parking that you could use to buy vintage stuff! I can help set you up with someone in your area)
• I have posted a picture of the fairgrounds with parking and where to meet. If you are going to be there before or after 11am please text or call me (If you don't have my # PM me on facebook right meow) 
• As stated before KIDS are welcome and I'll be pushing a stroller with my kiddos in it. (Kids 12 and under are free)
• Bring cash for parking and in case you'd like to purchase stuff. 
• Bring a bag because I'm sure you'll be purchasing stuff. Good stuff. Beautiful stuff.
• There will be food there. Ummm... more specifically Waffle Love and other less important food trucks.
• Tickets are $7 at the door, but I've heard there is usually quite a line. I have already purchased mine online. With online fees it was $8.81 total. I was sent an email with one of those weird square things that they will scan at the gates. 

If you have further questions please let me know. 

Smaller bullet points in case you don't want to read my commentary... 

• Meet at North side of the Grand Building at 11am
• Parking is $5- Cash
• Still see picture for map of fair grounds
• KIDS ARE WELCOME (12 and under are free)
• Bring a bag to carry your purchases in and cash to buy them
• Buy tickets by waiting in line there for $7 or online with no wait for $8.81
• Food trucks will be there to feed you.
• Text or call me if you aren't going to be there at 11am. 

And since I'm posting this on facebook too... If you are here reading this on my webpage, contact me (text, facebook message, email, comment below...) I'll have a drawing for a prize while at the expo for anyone who contacts me and tells me you saw this here. :) 

Talk to you soon!

March Ladies Day SHOPPING! March 12th 10-5

I was talking to my sister yesterday about priorities and how we spend our time and how that shows what our priorities really are. I've been reflecting on 2015, well, because I was making my family yearbook like I've done for the past 8 or 9 years. (I have a link to a free book. If you are interested it is at the bottom of this post.) As I'm looking back at what my family did and what my favorite times outside of family were I can honestly say it's being at and hosting these events! Spending time with you lovely ladies and doing something together... it really sticks with me. And lets be honest! Making and keeping friends is a tough thing to do once you are out of school and have other priorities like kids, bills, homes, yards... all of it. But this year I want to make sure that I keep on top of my household stuff AND taking care of my relationships, because next year when I sit down to reflect on what I enjoyed doing best in 2016 I'm not going to think about cleaning my house or paying my bills. I'm going to be remembering all the fun stuff we did with friends and family.

I missed the Favorite Things Dinner in February- I will make it up this year, I promise! My priorities have misaligned somewhere, but I'm getting back on track!

1st- When you RSVP yes or no to this event I'd like to know your answer to these questions...
1: What do you spend most of your time doing?
      My answer is preparing and doing home school for Oaks and cleaning my house
2: What would you like to spend your time doing?
      I would like to spend more time creating or painting
3: Is there an appropriate way to make that happen with a ladies day?
      Absolutely! That's why I do these! Woodblicking anyone!? Cocktails and Canvas! Yes please!           But I would also like to expand my horizons, my hobbies and my friends list!

Thank you in advance for actually answering my questions! It's just one more way I can tailor these events to include everyone and her interests. Not everyone likes to paint or craft! Some people like to shop! (March will be good for that!)

Also, feel free to pass along this webpage to other ladies you think would want to get out of the house and expand, share and work on their skills and make new friends. I've met and maintained a lot of friendships by doing this because, believe it or not, not everyone who comes knows who I am. They just come.  And age does not matter. I've had 8 year olds and 60 year olds and we all have plenty to talk about!

Okay. On to the MARCH 2016 EVENT!

This is one I'm just showing up to. Starting the year easy. I will create a facebook event with a link to the actual event. Please RSVP on my event so I know to look for you when we are there. Feel free to invite as many girlfriends as possible. This is not only easy for me to "plan", but it is a good opener to new friends to join and meet everyone. Plus its kid friendly!

Here is the basic info:
