Day Trip to Girls' Camp

I was invited to be a guest speaker at Girls' Camp this year and got to head up for a day with a few other women from the Stake. The theme this year was a really fun one - "Happily Ever After" and it was all about being princesses. There were four of us that were their EFYW speakers (Especially for Young Women) and I got the best topic of all - How to Attract Prince Charming! I took the basis of my lesson from Proverbs 31:10-31 and then ran with it!


I went WAY out of my comfort zone on this one and even made a poster! CRAZY!!! I put pink bows on it and everything - this was huge for me!
I enlisted my super talented and creative sister, Jen to make the handouts for me and they turned out AWESOME! This is one of two versions that I handed out.

Isn't Jen amazing?!?
Here's the poster once all the letters of PRINCESS were removed with the words that go along with the acronym. I had fun sharing little vignettes of my own life and some important scriptures. I told of how Brad gave up his boat to marry me and that I keep a picture of him with it in the front cover of my scriptures to remind me how much he loves me. Then I suggested that the girls keep the handout in the same place until they can replace it with a picture of their own Prince Charming someday.

While I was gone all day, two of my friends watched Libby for me. I guess you could say Libby played pretty hard because she managed to crash on the family room floor! (She's NEVER done that before!)

This is exactly how I felt when I got home! Thanks to Kim and Sarah for watching my little angel for me. What a day!
