BYSince Kate is making her way back from the happiest place on earth, and I’m still recovering from having my kids home all day on a 9 day holiday break aka spend all day in our jammies, go on a laundry strike and trash the house spree a lovely Thanksgiving week, we wanted to make a quick announcement today and then we’ll be back in the kitchen cooking and crafting this week.
We are really excited to announce that we’ll be participating in something called Time Out For Women.
What’s Time Out For Women? Said best in their own words:
“We know it is not necessarily easy to raise happy, righteous families and live as women of God in the 21st century. There are days when your perspective dims a little and you long for someone to remind you who you are and why you’re here. And that is the mission of TOFW—to be one more encouraging voice in this often challenging world.”
I’ve attended TOFW in my own home town and found it so inspiring, entertaining, motivating, uplifting, and just plain fun. It’s truly a unique experience and Kate and I are thrilled to be presenters on the 2012 tour!
Time our For Women holds events all across the country and we’ll be at a few this winter-spring, and a few next fall: (UPDATE: We had told you Harrisburg, PA was cancelled from our schedule, but we will be there after all!)
That’s Ogden UT, Orlando FL, Arlington TX, Harrisburg PA, Denver CO, Logan UT, and Phoenix AZ. We’re excited to visit some new places and hopefully meet more of you!
Also, right now through December 6th, you can hop on the early bird special and get tickets at a discounted price. Click on the city you’d like to attend in this link for all of the details. If you’re not ready to register just yet, you can register later with a group of 4 or more people and get the same deal in a group discount.
Again, don’t forget to to enter the current giveaway by clicking here, and then we’ll have a yummy recipe on Wednesday and a too-freaking-cute-for-words winter craft (using stuff from your fridge!) on Friday. Happy Monday y’all!
How exciting is that??! I love TOFW–you’ve really hit the BIG time:) just wish you were coming to Portland…
I wish we were too! I used to live in Portland and I miss it!
I went to TOFW for my first time just last week! I LOVED it! Now you’re telling me that you two are going to be presenting??? How fun is that? Yes, it’s even worth the drive to Ogden. Is there any chance at all that they will increase the number of cities you’ll be attending? Super excited for you both!
I’m not sure if they’ll increase the number, there are a lot of speakers and everyone seems to have about this many, but who knows! We have some things going on during the middle of the year that will make all of those summer dates tricky for us, so I think we’ll probably be sticking to this schedule. But if they add any more we’ll be sure to let everyone know.
Do you know yet whether you will be presenting on Friday or Saturday in Layton? You’ll know where I’m sitting by all the hollering I’ll be doing when they introduce you to the crowd 🙂
Never mind- I see you will be presenting on Saturday. Sometimes it helps to do a little research before inserting foot into mouth.
TOFW website has you both also listed to appear at the Harrisburg, PA tour on April 20, 2012 – is that correct or no? Us east coasters (north east, that is) would love to get our fair share of you guys!
There was some miscommunication, but YES, we will be there!
I thought you were supposed to be at the Harrisburg PA one too??? My mother, sister, sister-in-law and I are going to that one and were super excited at the thought of meeting you guys!
We’re going to be there after all!
I have never been to tofw, but I am planning on going to it this spring in Harrisburg! I’m so sad you won’t be there! I would love to meet you!
We’re coming!
Yay!! 🙂
You gals will be perfect for TOFW = Happy Day-
Love your creativity and Happy Spirit.
Thanks for sharing your talents
YAY! YAY! YAY! I’m going to the one in Arlington, TX! I had already planned to, but this just seals the deal! Oh, I’m so excited! !!!
How exciting for you! Wish you were coming to Atlanta.
Yeah!!! I am SO excited you are coming to TEXAS!!! It will be so fun to meet you both!!!
Even though I’ve never commented on your blog before, I’ve been a big fan and have sent several people your way. I used to do catering untill I realized how hard it was on my family. At 52 years old I fell into a slump with cooking, until my daughter introduced me to your blog. Just wanted to say thanks!!! Also if you would like a yummy “Creamy Fire-roasted Tomato Soup” recipe (a knock=off from the White Cho. Grill), I would be happy to share.
Sounds great but these things are always in Northern Utah poor Southern Utah
It’s my first time going to TOFW, and I totally wished you were going to ABQ, NM! Bummer! Have fun though!
I’m so excited that you are coming to Denver!!!!! See you in September!
Oh I hope I can make it! Did they change the Ogden one to Layton. I am not seeing Ogden on the website but Layton is for the same dates.
Yay!!! 🙂 Can’t wait.
Darn – wish you were coming to Sacramento!! But how exciting for you guys! Have fun!!
That is SOO exciting for you two. I will definitely have to make it to one of the sessions. Congrats!!
Oh my heck! I am so stinkin’ excited for you to come to Logan 🙂 My mom, grandma, my sisters and I went a few months ago and we vowed that we would make it a tradition!! I can’t wait!!
I was already planning on going, but so sad you girls won’t be in Sacramento, CA 🙁 Maybe next time.
how exciting! i wish you guys were coming to PA!
How fun!! I will totally go to the one in Denver!
Really?? You had to go to Phoenix instead of Portland?? Drats, drats, drats.
That is so exciting! I have not yet been to a TOFW, but it would make my first time so much better to see you both in Phoenix, AZ! Thanks for the heads up!!
Sad that you won’t be in Billings but glad that you guys get to participate!
Wish you were coming to Idaho Falls!! I wasn’t able to come to the book signing when you were in Rexburg and I was really hoping to hear you!! Congrats on all the great things happening for you ladies. Love the blog!
Super excited that you will be at TOFW!! I have planned to go to Phoenix…. hopefully my plan stays!
I love your blog and I LOVE TOFW! I have been many times in the past few years!
Ahhh…you chose Arizona instead of Portland?!?!? So sad…wish you were coming here!
So sad you won’t be in the northwest! Maybe in 2013…
Yay! I was hoping to see Phoenix on this list! I will be there for sure!
I’ve been to time out for women before and LOVED it! I bought my tickets today just because you guys will be there! So excited to see ya!
I love me some TOFW! Looking forward to seeing in PHX next year!
Oh my goodness I’m so excited. I go to Phoenix TOFW every single year. Horray!!
I love the Tangelo band with a Mamba face. Very Halloween-y!
This is so weird– after last month’s TOFW (in Phoenix), I thought to myself, “Those OBB girls would be so great at TOFW.” So I totally called it. 🙂 My sisters and I go every year, and we’re all big fans, so I can’t wait to meet you and have you sign my cookbook! You will love Phoenix in November!
I’m the Team Lead for the TOFW in Harrisburg and am soooooo excited that you’re coming!!! I’m definitely going to brag to everyone that you two will be here!! See you in April!
P.S. I just made the Stuffed Pizza Rolls (from your book) tonight for dinner Mmmm!!! Only one problem: I should have made TWO batches!
Awww man…why can’t you be coming to Long Beach, CA?? :o( I’m born and raised here. It’s a great place, you should come sometime. ;o) I WILL meet you girls someday! :o)
Aaaahhh! That is so exciting Sara! I just attented TOFW in Pheonix last month and it was awesome! I will most definitely be there next year! I can’t wait to see you both there!
Aww… I got so excited for a minute but you aren’t coming to Portland… Well, have fun anyway! Congratulations!
What! You are not coming to Sacramento?!! Maybe next year?
