Just when I thought I was finished posting every day (31 Days of Warm Connections) in October, here I am posting on a Saturday in November.
But I’m happy to announce the winner of this beautiful appliance by KitchenAid.
The winner is …… Michelle, from One Ordinary Day. Congratulations, Michelle!
I also want to leave you with a meaningful post from last year. If you’re looking for something to do with your kids this month, or a group of girls, here’s some information about Pillowcase Dresses for Africa.
You can read all about it, here.
Our desire last year was to make as many dresses as we could for orphanages and poor little girls in other countries. It’s called Little Dresses for Africa.
While our girls were able to earn community service hours for school, at the same time, we learned a lesson of gratitude and love.
Last year I asked these questions to stimulate conversation:
What do you think about “stuff” and materialism?
Does it make you happy?
Did you realize that even adults fall into materialism and “wanting more?”
How does it make you feel to help the poor?
Email me if you have any questions, and November is a great month to start a Balcony Girls group (BG Ebooks 1 and 2 available, HERE.)
Have a great weekend, friends. See you on Monday!







Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message. It says that dinner parties are attainable, they are affordable, and that they can be beautiful even when on a budget.
