Mom and Daughter night

Faith and I had a great time last night. We went to the Secret Keeper Girls event held in a nearby church. We had about 40 from our church go. It was geared for girls ages 8-12. Kind of those "tween" years. The girls loved it! It's all about modesty, purity,true beauty (inner beauty) and friendships. It was wonderful.

I bought a Bible Study for Faith called My Best Friend Jesus. It's about Meditation on God's Truth about True Friendship.

I also bought a book/kit called Secret Keeper Girl 8 Great Dates for you and Your Daughter. (A Secret Keeper Girl Has The Power of True Beauty and Modesty) It looks great. The idea is to have 8 "dates" with your daughter. There is info for mom to read and a journal for the daughters to keep. There's also info to discuss together and really fun activities. Faith is soooooooooo excited about it. One activity is getting a facial or manicure. Another is getting a new haircut or up-do. Woohoo! You know she's ALL for that!

The material looks fabulous and I think we're going to have a lot of fun together. Our first date will be to a tearoom for a tea party together. I can't wait! The kit came with a CD. It has music (by Rebecca St. James) and a stories for you to listen to on your way to and from the "dates". It's about 7-10 minutes each time. There is also Diary Girl Gab (about 15-25 minutes) to get you talking and discussing all kinds of neat topics that your daughter has put in her diary/journal based on the questions and prompts in it. Then of course there's the Challenge--- what you do at your special destination. (facials, tea parties, shopping, camp outs, bake goodies for neighbors, etc.)

They have another set with 8 dates but the topic of that material is on friendships. It is also very good. I'm going to get that one next. I really think we're going to like this time together and digging into God's word. It's a lot of fun now that Faith is getting old enough to do things with and have meaningful conversations.

I bought her a new dress and shoes to wear for our special night last night. I got a new blouse for myself too. She was really excited about it. Here's a photo we took on our way out the door for our first ever Mom and Faith night. I hope there are many more to come throughout the years!!!
