Truth is, just as we were exploring community, communication and branding, we stumbled on this contest being hosted by Mom Central. We decided, "Sure. Let's give it a try." Not knowing that the very application would enhance the journey we were already on. As we began to fill out the questions, we realized this was a great exercise in learning how to communicate with our community who we were. We thought we'd share with you. If you are a blogger, we recommend answering the questions for yourself. If you are just a friend, … [Read more...]
Blogging Community
By on March 3, 2011 with
Bloggging has sent us on a journey of discovery. Not only has it forced us to face some passions that, as stay at home moms, we had gently suppressed, but it has also made our friendship grow and stretch and develop in a rich way. Because we value real and authentic relationships, we desire to keep the conversation going and are excited to meet fun, new friends along the way. Yet, to be honest, our struggle often comes in the way of time and time management. Our lives are full already. What with my five kids (plus an … [Read more...]
Our About Us Page
By on March 1, 2011 with
Being in the midst of a redesign, we are having to think over each page again. The one we are focused on now is our About Us page. We wish we could write a book, or vlog a documentary in order for you to know who we are...for reals. The challenge is, we have to give you a glimpse of our personalities, our passions and a bit of our history in a few short paragraphs. There are bits of our lives that seem interesting to us, but then again, Chris Ann and I have one of those friendships that fills in the gaps without words, so we … [Read more...]
The Ladies Made Empanadas
By on February 21, 2011 with
Back in January, my husband and some of our friends were in Mexico for a business trip for the company they work for. A group of us flew in a day early to visit the same Children's Home & Community Center that Kristin, Devon, Todd and I had visited in October. We began our visit by gathering to hear the story of how the jungle was cut back and the foundation was laid both literally and relationally with area Mexican churches who support and partner in this Center. And, now how a squatter village community has sprung up … [Read more...]

Here's a sneak peak of a little bit of what we are working on behind the scenes here at LoveFeast Table! We are dreaming up our new revamped website. The new LoveFeast Table we imagine to be more our style, more artistic, to have an online boutique, new ad space and comments threaded so we can chat with you all! We are big believers in the art of the inspiration board. It never hurts to have some visual imagery and some uplifting quotes to inspire you as you dream. We think the scraps and snips and quotes help us envision … [Read more...]
Heidi’s Restaurant Minneapolis
By on February 17, 2011 with
The day after Valentine's Day, my husband and I drove into Minneapolis for an evening out at one of our favorite restaurants ~Heidi's~ reopened in a new location after a devastating fire. It was a restaurant we brought Kristin and Devon to when they visited. The food, the atmosphere and the company created a memory at the table not to be forgotten. We had great memories from the previous Heidi's. This was the first time we had been to the "new" Heidi's. And, we thought it would be a great way to celebrate. After valet … [Read more...]
Henry VIII’s Hampton Court
By on February 10, 2011 with
Integrity...it's been a theme in my home as of late. As parents, there are a few things we want to see stirring in our kids... values such as honesty, kindness and patience. We also strive to encourage them to be people of their word, hard working, and doers of what's right even if it's not the popular thing to do. We want them to know it's about effort first then success and to honor the adults in their world...even if that adult hasn't earned respect. When in London, my brother took me to Henry the VIII's Hampton … [Read more...]
