Time Out For Women

I have talked to many of you already about the upcoming Time Out For Women in Phoenix. If you haven't heard of TOFW, please visit http://deseretbook.com/misc/email/tofw/tofw_gyg_arizona_revised.html and http://deseretbook.com/timeout/event/103 to learn more about it. I am so excited to have a weekend of fun, service, and spiritual rejuvenation!
If we register as a group, we save $10 off of the regular registration rate, so I am trying to get a list of who wants to go so we can get our tickets ordered soon. The pre-registration deadline is September 16, so check your schedules and let me know soon who is in! I'd like to put in a ticket order before that, just to make sure they don't sell out. If you can let me know by September 3, I will put in an order then. If you are a maybe, we can put in another order after that when you make up your mind...just no guarantees on the group rate.
I am planning on getting a couple of hotel rooms for Friday night. Who is interested in staying together and splitting the cost of a room?
Have you talked to someone who would love to go to the event, but can’t afford the full-price? As a team member, I have the opportunity to offer a few women scholarship tickets. Please send anyone you know that is in this situation to me and I will help to get them registered. We don’t want ANYONE to miss this!”

Temple Babysitting

I wasn't able to make it to the service auction but I do have a service I'd like to get the word out about. If any of you would like to make a trip to the temple, but don't have a babysitter up in the Mesa area to leave your kids with, please give me a call. I am seriously happy to watch any number of kids for a day, as long as I am available to do so, so you can make a trip to the temple, no strings attached.

I know it's a long time to leave your kids with someone else. If you aren't comfortable with that, we'd also be happy to arrange going up to the temple as a group with two or more families and doing some sort of a swap there as well.

I know I shouldn't complain about the distance we are from the temple because so many people have a lot further to go but there have been many times I wanted to go. However, the time it takes and having young / nursing children has made me feel like going to the temple can only be a rare occasion. I'd like to change that for myself and anyone else out there who is feeling a little temple-deprived due to babysitting issues. Please don't hesitate to call!'

Selling Pavers and Buying a Hutch

We have about 300 brick patio pavers we bought from someone for $0.25 / brick ($75 for the entire pallet). We were planning on finding matching ones to in order to do our whole patio. However, when we went shopping, we found another variety we really liked and bought those instead. That was a long time ago and now we have 300 pavers we don't need that have been sitting in our garage forever. If anyone is interested in buying them from us, they are yours for the price we bought them, which is about half what you'd pay in the store. I don't think they'd be hard to match if you need to buy more, we just didn't look very hard. Please call or email me if you're interested:

Also, I am looking for an old china hutch to refinish. If you have one you'd like to get rid of or sell at a rock bottom price, please let me know. Thanks!

Preschool info

I am a late looker when it comes to Preschools. I am trying to find a place for my little 4 year old to attend. It seems most preschools are full. 
However, I am hoping there is that one place that is looking for just one more student.
If any of you ladies are aware of that "ONE", please let me know. I would also be interested in a co-op if you know any.

Thanks a million

Play group- Play dates

I was wondering if anyone was interested in getting our kids together for a play date once a week. I thought it might be nice to let the kids that aren't in school yet get together each week and play and the mom's could get some errands done or even have a little quiet time. We could rotate each week who hosts and that way one person isn't having the kids over at their house every time. I would love to find one for Logan specifically since Noah will be going to preschool on M/W but I wouldn't mind having another for Noah's age group as well on a day he doesn't have school.

If anyone is interested let me know. Logan is 19 months, but really anything close to that age is good. I could do it any day of the week for him. Noah is 3 (still in nursery) and Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday would work best for him.

You can call (916) 223-6506, or email jenelle_143@hotmail.com

Free Babysitting

I know there are a lot of school moms in our ward who have kids at home all day too. If you are wanting to go in and volunteer in your kids classes I am more than willing to watch your little ones so that you can! (And Harrison would love to have kids to play with!) Patrick has had weekdays off lately, so I can plan on doing it when he will be home to "babysit". ;) This is one of those times when his random and weird schedule actually pays off! But I have received a lot of help from so many of you at church or other times when I haven't had a husband to help me! I really want to pay it forward! I am pretty open all month and I am SERIOUS! I will even provide snacks and lunch if I need to! :) Let me know!
