Sacramento friends! I'm having a clothing exchang

Sacramento friends! I'm having a clothing exchang at my house, Sunday, March 27. It's all free trade, mellow and friendly. Get in touch if you want to join us. Yes you can bring a friend. 😁

Ladies bring a bag (or many bags) of clothes they no longer want and we all help sort. Each of us then leaves with a new-to-us wardrobe. We swap clothes, shoes, books, jewelry, and other random items.

I'm also looking for some helpers for set up and clean up.

If you use it need fabric for projects you are welcome to come at the end and take what you like.

Remainders go to charity.

Paint day! Noon to 2pm come help paint a mural.

Mural progress picts. I spent most of yesterday transferring the image to the 35 foot wall via grid and a 4 foot straight edge. Too many obstacles to project it.

It's pretty high up. I just kept repeating, "don't look down"

I read that teachers receive more #valentinesdaycards than Moms. That makes sense but it doesnt feel fair. You ARE a GOOd Mom even if they forget (or aren't able) to say it.

Do you have a #growthmindset?

They teach this concept at my kids #school... it's about #selftalk like "that didn't work this time, but #nowIknow how to #succeed next time. " instead of "I suck."

They also teach #brainscience as it relates to behavior and normal growth.

I think it's really interesting...

One of my favorite #artshows opens this Friday and I'm all aglow because I've got 2 ladies in the mix, Gloria and Joanne! From my #wewearmanyhats series.
Get there early! The artwork literally flies off the walls as people grab the deals.
