Because my brain needs a time out

This weekend my Mom came into town and we rounded up some girls to go to Time Out for Women. It was a pretty huge event at the Salt Palace, much bigger than the Phoenix event we have been to in the past. Thanks Mom for reminding me that I really enjoy going to this.
We listened, laughed, chatted, and of course ate at one of my favorite Salt Lake spots, The Blue Lemon. While I missed my sisters a lot, I was so grateful for my sister-in-law and my sistahs (rena, can I pull that off?) from Salt Lake that came along with me.
It really was a great break, and when people ask me how Caleb does watching the kids, I love telling them what a great husband I have. He is alone with the boys often while I work, and he doesn't even blink at staying home while I do something good... and having over a few extras as well.
I enjoyed all of the speakers, but my favorite take away messages were-
Comparison is the fast track to misery.
Get out of the business of Competition.

Be Your Own Best Kind of Mom.
Look at these beautiful ladies taking on the world.
And just because this picture is awesome-
Don't know if it was the high winds or the high spirits that were lifting Caryn off the ground, but I love it.
