A Sleepover

This morning I met Celeste at the Cozzi Cafe. She is a consultant that I have been in touch with about the Natural Family Boutique. I am really giving some thought to selling for them because the products are awesome!

I already have a couple friends that have assured me they will buy if I sign up, so....don't be surprised if in a few weeks I am Jennifer Worrell, Arbonne AND Natural Family Boutique Consultant!

Tonight Melody, Devin, and Jay spent the night. The kids had lots of fun playing and Mel and I had lots of fun eating the brownies that we made for the....ummmm....kids. She didn't get there until sort of late and we all stayed up until about midnight.

Melody wore Alyssa is the meitai and Big Baby Jay got a little jealous. :) It was so cute!

I made a new recipe tonight that was awesome! Here it is!
