time out for women--TOFW (november 2017)

Out of all the places I could go or all the things I could do on a "girls trip", Time Out For Women will definitely always be in the top one or two of my list!! It's "a remarkable event crafted for women of faith from around the world" (https://www.tofw.com), and is such a wonderful time to build memories with my mom/sisters/friends/daughter/nieces:), etc. ... and really just a fantastic opportunity to be uplifted. 

Seriously the best!!

O course what's not to love about hanging out with my favorite girlies;), eating lots of food!!

Playing around at the mall ...

Having a wild and crazy slumber party in our hotel room!
(yes, Miss Jill is in one of the pics below ... hiding from the camera under her blanket;).

... the kind of "wild and crazy" of course where we eat deliciously greasy pizza, talk about how awesome day one of the speakers & music was ... 

... and make goofy faces in bed ... until we crash from a long (and fantastic) day!!

Loving hanging out with my sister and mom!
--I feel incredibly fortunate for a such a wonderful support group of women in my life--really couldn't ask for a better, stronger, or more loving--

TOFW speakers are so fantastic! Spiritual and reverent, yet real and hilarious!!

Love checking out the artwork ... in fact I was so drawn to this one that it had to come home with me and has become a lifelong favorite!!

The best part in recent years though, has been having Mae and G with us!! 
I love how TOFW/Girls ties us all together despite how "old" us mommas are. 

These two are THE best examples to me of goodness!

Group shot!

And we're off ... time to head home!

Kinda fun too, that while we're away the boys get some girl-free time with their super amazing Dad!!

In this case eating Pie Shakes and being weirdos at Shari's. 

This weekend is definitely the refresher I need to keep me going for the next year!! Please don't ever stop hosting it Deseret Book (https://deseretbook.com) ... and PLEASE bring back TOFG!!

Happy Birthday to G-ma Loo:-) And sunny family day at the park ... Looks like the man bun is still going strong!;)

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
