Week 25 and The Togetherness Project

By Mandi 10/02/2015

Friday is here (how!? it was just Monday!) and things around these parts are moving just as fast as this last week!  My family came down last week for a last hoorah before my sister Amy moved to Dallas.

We miss her SO much already.  While she was here, she rocked our Week 25 bump video with some of her favorite names for the little guy.  I am so glad that we are taking the time to do these, it will be such a fun thing to look back on and see all of the people that we love dancing and just being all around amazing.

 

I have an event coming up that I wanted to share. As most of you know, addiction and addiction recovery is a massive part of my life.  When Jacy from The Togetherness Project reached out about speaking at a conference that they were putting on for women affected by addiction in their marriage, I was so honored and excited to be part of it!  The event is October 17 in Salt Lake City.

The Togetherness Project  was founded to help support women who have dealt with addiction in their marriage, being heavily focused on those who have dealt with pornography and sexual addiction.  Any addiction is devastating and so many times when it’s our partner that is dealing with it, its easy to say “its his problem, I’m just the victim.” which in most cases is true. But addiction destroys so much more than just the addict’s life and healing has to happen for everyone involved whether you are staying in the marriage or not.  To have a place full of women that understand, truly understand, is more important than we realize.  That is what The Togetherness Project is about.  The one day conference is full of breakout sessions lead by AMAZING speakers.  I will be speaking during the lunch break, and would love to see you there!!  You can get more info on the event and register for tickets here!

Lastly, I just want to let you know that I think you’re wonderful.  I so appreciate the time that you take out of your life to visit my little corner of the world.  Its so easy to get caught up in more and more, and better and better. And while I feel like I am failing miserably right now on the content front, I’m thankful for each and every one of you.

Now. I’m going to stop crying (lets blame the hormones) and get to building.  Have an awesome weekend love!

  1. I I get tired of just tutorials sometimes. I love the REAL LIFE you! Or the Internet version, at least 🙂 and that conference sounds amazing! While I haven’t had to struggle with those issues, having someone understand without judgement is wonderful. I am 15 weeks pregnant with fun nausea, haha, and I love to talk to someone who says- oh I remember! Hang in there! It can be so freeing 🙂

    1. …it is also freeing to recognize that the Savior HAS felt all that, and knows exactly, 100% what I’m going through 🙂 He is awesome.

  2. I so enjoy seeing your ideas come to life. Glad you’re keeping at it. And thrilled that you’re having a baby boy! Thanks for sharing what you do. It inspires me.

  3. Where in Dallas is your sis moving???!!!! I live in the DFW area – right near the big airport!

  4. It’s so great to see you encouraging and lifting up other people! Thank you for being so willing to share and minister to us with your story!

    Also- I live in Dallas! Welcome, Amy! 🙂

  5. The conference sounds amazing. Your site is great. Don’t worry about it. I love your website and never even noticed what you feel is a content failure. You’re a person. You get to have a life.

  6. Hey Mandi! The ornate frames are awesome! They just hang there, showing off their beauty and being typical frames (frames with pictures). I wish I am as creative and patience!

    Yes, it is really difficult to keep things tied together without losing personality.
