Girls Get-together

Everyone should have a girls day out at least once a year. My mom, my sisters Jill & Tanya, and I joined thousands of other women at BYU Women's Conference. We've attended several times and I always enjoy it. We really missed Alicia and hope she can join us next year.They came to my house Thursday night and we had a sleep-over - lots of late night chatting! Friday morning we headed to BYU for a great day of inspiration and bonding. We went to dinner at Mimi's afterwards. Mom and Tanya stayed over Friday night as well. Great fun!One of the sessions we attended was called "All Things Done in Order." Two women shared ideas for getting your house/life in order. One suggestion I really need to incorporate in my life: "Make the wastebasket your best friend."

As many of you know, this will be my first summer off in six years and I can't wait. John asked me what I'm going to do with all my time. I say there's not enough summer for all of my projects. After hearing the women talk about order, that's priority #1 - dejunk! Good luck to me.

I want to go to Women's Conference next year. I haven't been in sooooo long.

I'm with you on the dejunking. We have so much clutter in this house, but we are getting better at throwing stuff away. I'll sometimes ask my kids whether they want to throw this or that away, and their favorite thing to say is, "Chuck it!" But we need to do a lot more chucking.
