Well this Friday and Saturday is BlissDom!!! I’m very excited, but I’m still trying to figure out what to wear! Yesterday I went to Angela’s closet.   No this isn’t a fancy boutique even though the beautiful clothes and jewelry make it look like it is!

Angela is one of my girlfriends. She has great taste in clothes and we are about the same size…what a wonderful combination! When I went over to her house I was expecting to borrow a few things for BlissDom, but she kept saying “this is for you and this and this…”. Wow!  We found some great things for me to wear.

Do you have friends that are about the same size as you are? Try having a clothes swap! Since most of us are trying to save money having something new to wear for free is about as good as it gets!

Have you noticed that whenever you get together with a friend that all your stress seems to vanish?  I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about visiting with a girlfriend that brightens my day!

I am married to the sweetest guy in the world, but it’s unfair to expect him to meet all my emotional needs. When you talk to your husband or boyfriend about something going wrong in your life, they usually think you want them to fix it. But, all you really want is some understanding or just some one to listen to you as you think out loud!

Most guys would freak out if we talked to them the same way we do our girlfriends. You know how we are: never taking a breath, jumping from one subject to the next in a nanosecond, and taking care of the kids– all at the same time!

I just want to encourage you to spend time with your girlfriends.  Get out of the house if you can, but even a phone call or email would be great!

Remember that by nurturing your friendships you are also nurturing yourself.

Here is an example of true friendship in demonstration! Enjoy! Be sure to watch the whole video, the best part is at the last.

Since this is Thanksgiving week I thought I’d mention something I’m thankful for.

I am thankful for this: Almost all the women who blog or work from home are very supportive of each other.

I have seen these women gather around each other in good times and bad.

And these are women who usually haven’t even met in person!

I “met” a lady named Kelly on Etsy who is working hard  for her family.

She has opened a shop called Cozy Creations and is selling fleece blankets and pillows.

The rocket pillows are my favorite!

Let’s gather round and support women like Kelly!  Time for some Christmas shopping!
