This morning I had the privilege of speaking at a Boulder County MOPS group on Mommy Hullabaloo - learning, living and loving the chaos of mommyhood. What else would I talk about but chaos, creativity and being imperfect, right? It was a fun, lively group of about 35+ women.
Later in the evening, after spending the afternoon doing my own mom stuff - taking the kids to the park, running errands and pulling together a "Julie surprise" (my friend, Jax's term for me grabbing random things from the cupboard, freezer and fridge and attempting to make a meal) - Inspired Imaginations' hosted a Mix It Up with Mommy event at Carrabas Italian Grill to support children's literacy in Boulder. It was an awesome evening filled with food, friends, and fun. We collected gently used and new books to donate to The Family Learning Center in Boulder. We also raised funds for literacy through raffles prizes generously donated by the following: La Vie Salon, Wall Chatter, Stroller Strides, Author Jennifer Coburn, Author Paula Schmitt, Author Kathryn Mahoney, Author Caroline Poser, Author Christie Crowder, Haven Interiors, Dave & Busters, Lollilocks, Arbonne with Kristen Bergeson, Slumber Parties by Kelly, Down Dog Productions, Little Princess Jewelry, Old Chicago, Boulder Valley Ice, Jamba Juice, Psychic Channeler Shawna Allard and Island Baby. Phwww...that is quite a list of phenomenally generous individuals and businesses. Love them all!
Anyway, it was just one of those fantastically chaotic, creative, inspired and imagination - absolutely imperfect - just the way I like it!!
