Pamper the Provider Conference

This past Saturday I attended the, "Pamper the Provider Conference" in St. Cloud. There was about 400-500 Childcare Providers there. It was nice to be in the company of others who knew about the everyday workings of running a family childcare business. I attended a couple workshops that day, "Marketing Yourself in a Recession" and a Sign Language Class. Both were really helpful for my daycare and I am glad I went. There was also lots of vendors there to shop and be pampered! I got a wonderful hour massage!

"Johnny Mow!"

Didn't know a 2 yr. old could have an obsession did you?

Emma Krumbees!

Every Fall, Ben and I go to Emma Krumbees in Bell Plaine for lunch and the "Scarecrow Festival". This year was lots of fun because Jack is getting older and can participate in lots of the activities they have going on. We had a yummy lunch at their restaurant with my Mom and then went to the festival where they had pony rides, apple, pumpkin and strawberry picking, tractor rides, mazes and a petting zoo.
