Extraordinary Women's Conference 2012

This year I volunteered at the Extraordinary Women's Conference at the Bilo Center in Greenville. It was sooo much fun! I volunteered to work Francesca Battistelli's table. For this conference, if you volunteer, your registration is free and you get a free lunch ticket for Saturday.

I was able to get one item free from Francesca's table so I got Michaela a cute shirt. She loves the song "Free To Be Me" so I had to get her that one. I also bought Candace Cameron Bure's book ReShaping It All. I have already finished it and I have to say that it was very very good. She has lots to say about food addiction and keeping your whole life in balance, in good shape. Buy it if you can! Here is her website if you want to take a look at her ministry: http://www.candacecameronbure.net/

This really was an amazing opportunity. I loved being able to hear from these women about life and what they've learned along the way. The theme for the conference this year was "Passionate Faith" and that's what most of their teaching was about.

If you've never been to this conference, plan on going next year. I think registration starts at $90 for next year, but if you volunteer, it's free and you get to hear most of the conference. Even when you are not sitting in the conference you can still watch it on the tv screens they have and you can hear some of it as well. Next year, they are going to have Pam Tebow (Tim Tebows mom). If you haven't heard her story you can look it up. I am looking forward to hearing her as well.

I hope I have inspired you to go to this conference next year. You will be greatly blessed and you can be a blessing as well by volunteering. God bless you all!

Bilo Promotion: FREE Clemson Baseball Tickets

If you have never been to a Clemson baseball game, you are missing out! Baseball is such a nice, relaxing game to watch. Doug Kingsmore Stadium is nice also. If you sit in the outfield, you will be in the shade, chillaxing while watching the Tigers play ball.

Right now, if you buy 4 participating items from Bilo, you will receive a voucher at checkout for 2 FREE baseball tickets to see Clemson or South Carolina. There is a list of available games for this promotion but it is still a fun promotion. Here is a list of the items you need to buy 4 of to get the voucher:
