June 13th and 14th we will be hosting another online auction through Hyena Cart. I can not thank you enough to those who participated in the last one. The fact that it raised over $15,000 still amaze...
And what a weekend, or should I say week, it had been. Little Miss Sara Brown is now a graduate waiting for all the good things life has in store for her! Oh, I love this girl and I am certain many o...
Cutie pie Carrie isn’t even around to see her big debut on the blog, but I know all of you loyal readers will give her the warm welcome she deserves and swarm her with sweet, sweet comments. Sh...
Where do I start???? I have been playing this post in my head even before we left for Rwanda. We have been so excited to share this experience with you, little did I know that there really are no wor...
Remember last week when Gabe’s class came to 435? We wanted to give them the authentic Matilda Jane experience, so one of their activities while they were here was pulling and packing their ver...
Thanks for all the lovely comments… I truly wish that I could respond to each and everyone of you, but I just don’t have enough time in the day! I also wish that I could give you all a pr...
What a crazy Friday this has been! I’m pretty sure that this is just how it is going to be in the upcoming month. Art Fair is rapidly approaching! Can you believe it? How exciting right? We hav...
I know it must get redundant how I RAVE about all of the amazing women I get to interview each week, but it’s true!! They are all so incredible in such different ways. There is nothing “S...
And here’s the crew!! They all got to see the clothing, pick out a few pieces, pull it from shelves and pack then mail to their house. It was quite the cutest thing ever. After that ther...
And today is the day that Gabe and hos class get to tour Matilda Jane. Little nervous about that one! Okay, a lot! They have been to so many cool places from the Court House to the coldest freezer ev...
Africa has been nothing that I expected. I imagined really liking the women but never knew I would fall in love with them this much. I knew that this experience would be life changing but I di...
It seems like everyone is talking about Mother’s Day here in MJC Land, so what better to tell you about today than how incredible MY mom is! I know I can’t tell you everything I love abou...
Oh I already know today is going to be a great one. I mean it’s Friday. That’s usually reason enough for all of our girls at 435 to have an extra skip in their step. Plus the sun is shini...
I was so inspired this week by so many of the articles in The Sandbucket magazine (all about Moms) that hit stands on Tuesday. But one in particular pulled at my heart strings so much it scored my so...
At least once a week I have a day where I feel like I cannot do anything right. I’m sure it’s part of being an anxiety filled woman (aren’t we all?) but man I hate it! I just wanna ...
I went to bed last night telling myself “There is much to be done, you cannot be sick, you have to wake up ready to conquer the to do list”. I got up bright and early, well, 8:10, washed ...
Today has been one exciting Friday! First off , three of our very lovely MJC Gals are leaving for Africa today. For TWO WHOLE WEEKS! We’re going to miss them around here. Safe travels girls, we...
Oh Vaughn, what can I say about a girl who loves cheeseburgers, treasures her friends and married her worst date ever! I loved getting to know your little corner of the world and vow to share your fa...
And I feel like screaming from the roof top “We are leaving for Africa tomorrow.” As excited as we are though, I know there are 11 women in Rwanda who have us beat. I sure do hope they li...
How did I get this life? Did I save a princess from an evil, tyrant monster in a life before? Wow, I’ve been playing too much Super Mario at home… But really, HOW did I become so blessed?...
And the winner for Friday’s blog contest was…. I loved reading everyone’s responses, and a few even had me almost in tears! I think that Lauren’s words that she would speak to...

Oh, Friday. You are my favorite. I could probably come up with a good reason for liking almost every day of the week, but Friday is my day to blog so we’ll go with Friday as being my favorite d...
I remember the first time I “met” Jane. It was right after we announced the House of Koop auction and she was one of the first emails I received wanting to do whatever she could. Her enth...
Hopefully this 435 Art Fair slide show answers some of the questions you might be having about the event. The slideshow can cycle kind of fast so if you want more time to read a specific slide just s...
We were getting ready to grab a cab last night taking our time dragging our tired, dirty bodies down the airport corridor and I noticed a girl who looked so familiar. I’ve never met her but I r...
I cannot believe there are only NINE days until we start our journey to Rwanda!!! I’m so excited that I’m literally forcing myself to not just type a million exclamation points. HA! Inste...
Today we flew into Shenzen. We woke up so late, like at 5:17 when we needed to get in the cab at 5:30. Not a problem for me cuz showers usually don’t happen everyday nor does new makeup. Ha, do...
Denise described Saturday perfectly. I was so shocked when they said my Visa was expired, I can’t believe I dropped the ball. THE BIGGEST BALL EVER. A ball the size the of CHINA. I went home, c...
I gotta say, when I first heard “your Visa is expired” I was pretty sad. The look on Sam’s face was horrifying. I know it’s a strong word, but my gosh. One second, I thought I...
