Why are Wednesdays wonderful?

Our ward holds Activity Days twice a month, on Wednesdays, and it's my job to make that happen. Which, I love to do! It's a fun calling, and I enjoy working with the girls.

This blog is for sharing some of my favorite activities-- both for my future reference, and to help others out there plan THEIR future activities. :)

What I plan to post is the OPPOSITE of a long bullet point list of activity ideas. I am all about well organized activity plans, and that's what I want to share.

I also am mainly posting the "normal" Wednesday night activities, not the blow out bashes or recognition nights with coordinating theme and decor. (Although I find those very cool!)

So... if you can already look at a photo on Pinterest of a washer necklace made with nail polish, and instantly start planning your supply list, realize you'll need the girls to start with the polish application right away, and then have a filler activity to do while the polish dries, plus know what your spiritual tie in is going to be, and can't wait to start typing all that up-- props to you my internet sister! You can scan my blog for ideas you may not have tried yet, but we're pretty much on the same page. 

If you look at that same washer necklace and think, "that would be fun to do with the girls" and just buy washers and nail polish and cord, and then get to your activity and sort of make it up as you go along and it works-- it was chaotic, but you all had fun-- you will probably either hate this blog (because it's just not you) or love it (because wow, that went so much more smoothly), and you'll just have to try it to find out. 

If you're right in the middle-- you think that washer necklace is a great idea, but you need a little guidance for turning "great idea" into 90 minutes of activity time--  I think you just found the perfect site for planning your next several activities! :)

In any case, welcome to all. If nothing else I hope you find an idea tweak that you hadn't thought up (or found on Pinterest!) yet.
