WINTER LAKE WEEKEND

3/4/2018

Karen with our bath bombs. Thank you so much for providing the supplies and expertise, Karen.

Sharon Adams' ham and egg wraps. They were a hit.

When two or more of the 12 Midlife Moms gather, there will usually be crafts ... at least there will be on those weekends when we head south to Terri Fredericks' place on Cordry Lake in Brown County.

For this cozy, late-winter weekend away, MLM Karen Carr brought the fixings for us to make bath bombs and other scented goodies such as shower scents and salts. In the photo above, Karen photographs the bombs and to the left, the shower scents, still in their molds.

It was a relaxing weekend from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, and while there were just five of us this time, we enjoyed conversation, crafts, a movie, HGTV, and food. But we ate healthy (for the most part).

Sharon Adams crocheted potholders -- and later gifted them to our hostess, Terri.

Donna Shields crafted a tote bag from a T-shirt she was ready to re-purpose.

I brought fruit and veggies and we all brought along various reading materials from herbal and oil guides to a Kindle novel to our Bible Study Fellowship and MLM lessons. Since getting serious about Weight Watchers in January (yeah, once again), this was my first weekend away. I not only made it, but stuck to program! Here's a brunch plate for me Sunday: leftover salad, low-cal ranch dressing, more veggies -- and an egg. YUMMO!

We had to get some group shots before we hit the road.

We missed all our gals who couldn't make it this time. Shown are seated from left, Terri and Donna Shields. Standing from left, Sharon Adams and Karen Carr.
