Focus on Family in 2009

I would be remiss in not sharing that Once Upon a Family has a couple great specials going this month for those that are interested in focusing more on their families in 2009. =)
If you have young children, Lessons for Little Ones is an awesome product that gives you 12 months of fun activities for your child, all having to do with whatever holiday is that month. You get great tradition ideas (the Magic Easter Cake is especially fun!!) that you can do year after year. With monthly themes like Honesty, Gratitude, Respect, and nine more, these important values are woven in with fun activities that your children will love to do. This set comes with all 12 months of activity packets, along with a decorative storage box to keep the packets in, all for just $49 in January. Set is valued at $153, for a total savings of over $100. Visit my website at http://www.createyourtraditions/ to read more.
Our other HUGE special this month is on our Live Laugh Love Club, which I call the girl’s night out club. This is a club like no other, where you get together with your girlfriends each month to learn new ways to connect with your family, get a take home tradition to start with your family, and get a featured keepsake idea each month. Valued at $169, you get all 12 months of packets and a keepsake traditions binder for only $49 during the month of January only. Visit my special LLL Club website at http://www.livelaughlovetampa.com/ to learn more and see the different themes of the month.
Additionally, January is double hostess rewards month, so if you are interested in purchasing several sets of the above, or other products, let me know and I can hook you up with some great free product.

Live Laugh Love

We had LLL Club today. This month’s theme was generosity. Some of the reading material struck me as interesting. It said that just giving something away because it no longer fits or no longer suits your purpose isn’t truly generous. True generosity would be giving away something you love because you knew another person needed it more or could benefit from it more. Huh. That really hit home with several of us in the group, because I think that’s what we all kind of tend to do – get rid of things that we no longer use and then feel good about giving them to Goodwill. Which of course is still a good thing, too, but really isn’t much of a sacrifice on our part, is it? In fact, it’s helping US out, because we’re getting rid of clutter in our homes that way. So I guess what I would challenge each of you to do, and what I’ll be trying to do with my own family, is think about ways that we can be more intentionally generous with our things (and with our time) rather than just being “generous” when it’s convenient for us. I truly am not sure how I’m going to do that yet, but I suppose like with anything that is worth doing, it’s not something that will come easy.
