Mommin' It Up!

What can I say? We are good at partying!

The Ultimate Mom’s Night Out party was last Thursday and it was AMAZING! My fellow hostesses and I were shocked when we opened registration a couple of weeks ago and the party sold out in an HOUR!! We ended up with a wait list of over 30 people! So we will have to find a bigger venue for the next big event! I want to say a very special thank-you to our Primary sponsors One2One Network, Old Navy, Lifestages Centers for Women, A Modern Eden, Chick-fil-A, Oakwood Massage, and At Peace Wellness for showing our attendees an AWESOME time! Here are some photos of the fun!

Hello! Yummiest party food EVER! I *love* Chick-Fil-A!

Amaaaazing pastries from Rinaldo’s Bakery. (Thanks Amanda of My Everyday Blog for the pic!) And there was even MORE sugar in store…

These cupcakes made by Kristi Demeter were to die for!

My BFF Luanne made these amazing cake lollipos – she calls them Lulee’s Lollies. It’s CAKE ON A STICK, people! Go order some!!

So as you can see, we were on *quite* a sugar high!

Which is, I’m sure what led to whatever is going on between Katie and Becky in this photo:

*Ahem* (thanks again Amanda for this shot!)

But mostly, the night was of eating, drinking, mingling, meeting new people, winning awesome prizes, relaxing (MASSAGES, hello!!) and just having FUN together:

(I love this nerd girl!)

Thanks again to our sponsors for a wonderful, wonderful much-needed night! You can see more photos of the fun at our Flickr stream here.

Freak Show Friday

I don’t have a lot of “talents,” so to speak. I can’t sing, I don’t dance, and you’ve seen the pictures I take (on my cell phone).

I do have one ~~useless~~ talent, though – finding four-leaf clovers.

I don’t really know why, but it’s just my thing. In the last few months, I can recall finding one when I was on a field trip with Kate, at a couple swim meets, outside my office, and various other places. It always excites me to find one, though, and when I say “I found a four-leaf clover!” my husband’s response is “Of course you did.”

I don’t do anything with them, I don’t keep them or press them or anything, but I always think it’s neat to find one on a special occasion. Like the picture above – I found that one on Sam’s birthday. On Wednesday, the day my niece was born, I found one in my sister’s front yard. That one I kept – Anna is a scrapbooker and I thought that would be a neat addition to Lilly’s baby book.

It’s a useless talent, but it’s mine.

What’s your random talent? Come on, I know there must be some other freaks out there!
