Dedicate a Day

As part of Hearts at Home Blog Tour during the month of September I'd like to republish a previous post I wrote after going to their National Conference two years ago. I had to miss it this past year as it was shortly after the birth of our daughter so I'm already getting antsy for next year's conference. The past few weeks have been a bit defeating dealing with sick kids and a toddler in the throes of terrible 2's/3's. I am more than eager to fill up on a little mommy encouragement in March at the 2009 Conference!


I went to a conference last Friday called Hearts at Home. It was a really nice day for these reasons:

• the car ride up and back with my friend E
• spending all day with my sis and getting her undivided attention (i'm still the baby, ok?) (by the way, check out her new business venture)
• crying through the first song (they really shouldn't make you cry within the first 15 min. of the day)
• laughing my head off during our first workshop. The speaker was hysterical
• learning that no matter what I deal with as a mom, some other mom has been there, done that and can often provide encouragement for the journey.
