Relief Society B'Day Party

I wish it was the Relief Society's birthday everyday!! This morning our stake put on a program, brunch, and craft activity to celebrate the R.S. birthday in March. SO.UPLIFTING. Just what I needed to hear. "We learn from the inside out." "Get rid of the negative mind." "Love yourself and don't compare yourself to anyone else." Wow, I can't even begin to say how wonderful it was. We ate blueberry-pecan french toast RECIPE HERE, fresh fruit, oj and chocolate milk, a candy buffet...and made a cute bookmark. I loved today.
