Once Upon a Family

We had the first gathering tonight of our Live, Laugh, Love Club through Once Upon a Family. I think it’s going to be great. We’ve got a group of seven-ish. Tonight our family value to focus on was patience. The monthly family tradition we worked on was a variation on an advent calendar. Rather than twenty-four days of candy, this calendar would be twenty-four days of holiday-related activities we could do with our families. And yes, I came up with twenty-four.

Jill is our leader, and she’s also doing the Once Upon a Family sales consultant thing, although I’m SURE they don’t call it that. She’ll be great at it. She’s one of those people who has absolutely adorable perfect scrapbooks for each of her children, who makes her kids’ Halloween costumes, who bakes twenty kinds of cookies for Christmas and gives her friends gift boxes of them. Yep, she’s a Once Upon a Family kinda girl. Thank God she brings us along with her.
