Shine 2022

This lead photo sums up how we felt about returning to an in-person SHINE and connecting with our ambassador community again. Gratitude and joy! 

I don’t have photos from some of my favorite moments, like great and fun conversations in the hotel bar, and team dinners - or a roommate photo with Brittany and Kathy?! I think I’ll remember, though!

So many wonderful people have come into my life through Noonday, and I was thrilled to have a weekend celebrating and having fun with so many of them…even if I did home home with Covid…

Laura Turns 11!

Given that Covid continues to rear its head and disrupt life, it’s a great thing that Laura has never been one for birthday parties. She once again chose to spend the day (and night) with Meghan. As they grow older, it’s become more of a challenge to figure out what fun things to do, plus the aforementioned pandemic issue. Thankfully, the girls still love LEGOS! And since we weren’t spending money on outings or a party, I took the girls to the LEGO store and let them each pick out a set (within a certain budget). They were thrilled!

Thus they busily passed the afternoon, with a break for Jersey Mike’s for lunch. Before they knew it, it was time to open gifts, then enjoy a steak dinner and cake! 

Laura gave me two options for this year’s cake design: A polar bear eating cheesecake, or Olivia Rodrigo. No brainer, in other words!

They finished the day watching Home Alone (which Laura had never seen) and a sleepover to also finish out their winter break. These girls are growing up - and it’s so fun to watch them do it together.
