Our Turn

Hey There Wild & Free mama's.

  April is OUR TURN.

And we have a fun gathering planned.....

Last time when we came together at my house I think we all left that night feeling a little...lighter, less alone, maybe more challenged, hopefully, more inspired.

We talked about the books we were reading and words that were carrying us through.  Let's do that again!

And while we are at it...let's cultivate each other's soul with some pretty little things.....




Before I explain, let me convince....

 How do we honor our kids’ unique personalities and help them pursue their dreams? How do we hold on to our own dreams in the busyness of homeschooling and parenting?

We often leave ourselves behind when we delve so deeply into giving the best of ourselves to our families.  

We have things that we love.  We too seek goodness, truth and beauty.  We do that mostly through our families and friends.  

And this month Amy and I are asking that you share a little BEAUTY with another mama....

PRETTY LITTLE THINGS SWAP

What little things do you love?  Is there something you love that you know would give a smile to another mama?

It can be simple....  

* A hand drawn quote from a saint in a picture frame.

* A bundle of special pens and pencils for your days at home when everything you own seems to disappear.

* A journal you got for Christmas that you LOVE and you know someone else would love too.

* A skein of yarn (just kidding...unless you want to get that specifically for me).

* Just a thoughtful pretty little thing that you want to give to make someone smile when they see it or use it.

And for my rule minded mama's....

There are NO rules.  HOWEVER, If you need me to put a price cap on it...how about 20$.  But it can also be $0.  

HOW IT WILL WORK

Wrap up your pretty little thing.  Bring it to Amy's house on Thursday April 27 at 6:30.

We will eat dinner, chat about Mere Motherhood and Teaching From Rest.  Then we will pick a number and go in order to pick out of the wrapped bundles.  The mom who created the bundle can tell everyone why she choose that gift...what it means to her and why she brought it.

We are hard working, selfless mamas who deserve a pretty little thing every now and again...

look at #npemotherculture for some ideas...

Dinner Served:

Grilled Chicken with Quinoa Salad

Sourdough Bread

And maybe a few of you can bring desert.....
