MOMcation 2012
You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting quite as much lately. That’s because I’ve been busy planning MOMcation 2012. This is the third year for MOMcation. It’s a weekend retreat for MOMs and MOMs-to-be to take some time out for themselves. When I came up with this idea back in 2009, I was looking for a way to show other moms how beneficial some me time could be. I wanted to put together something … Read entire article »

Who put the MOM in MOMcation?
These MOMs did: And this one too: I’ve said it over and over, and just in case you didn’t hear, MOMcation 2010 could not have happened without the planning committee.

MOMcation 2010
As I mentioned in my last post, there have been a few things preventing me from keeping up with my blog ramblings. One of those items is something that I am quite proud to announce here – MOMcation 2010! MOMcation 2010 is a retreat for moms – a chance to get away from the daily grind, connect with other moms, learn a few new things, and most importantly, relax. Heifer Ranch, located near Perryville AR (about 45 min. NW of Little Rock), will be the location of the retreat. You can visit the website to learn more: http://momcation.org The idea started with my own MOMcations (MOM vacations). On a MOMcation with my friend Kristen, I hatched the idea of creating a series of retreats for women and families. Several of my friends … Read entire article »
