Jodi posted the American Mothers Luncheon on Facebook and I thought it looked like a really good event to attend. I wasn't disappointed. The theme was "Everything Glitters". Aleisha McDaniel, a momma blogger spoke and was so cute and fun. Two of the "Six Sisters" also spoke. They told a little about their blog and how it's their job now. The six sisters have a blog and have published a few cook books. They started their blog to stay in touch with each other and it snowballed from there.
All the speakers spoke of finding the glitter in our own lives. We have to look for it because it's there. (gratitude and finding the positive) "We need to watch with glittering eyes the whole world around us...because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." "Finding the glitter.....You never know when it's going to pop up!"
5 Ways to Find the Glitter
1. LAUGH....remember to laugh, especially at yourself.
2. SERVE...the perfect way to forget your troubles.
3. SCHEDULE QUALITY TIME TOGETHER...what your family wants is TIME!
4. TAKE PICTURES...even on the hard days!
5. DON'T COMPARE...your worst day doesn't stand a chance against someone's best day.
Great advice and simple enough to do!
What a fun day.....Good Food....Great Speakers....and Wonderful Friends to share it with! ♥

Wow you wrote such a good post! I may need to come back and borrow some of your thoughts since I am not on top of things as you! I FINALLY got my Monday Memo published on FRIDAY! But at least it's done right? I loved the luncheon. I felt bad there wasn't more time to chat. I asked Dave if she enjoyed it and she said she felt bad that we didn't get to talk at all. I told her we would do lunch soon. She is off on Fridays and so it might have to be two weeks from this Friday - the first one in May? Anyway, so glad you came!
I felt bad I didn't have time to chat more....Barbie was in a hurry...darnit!
I loved the day though...it was wonderful!
