Girls' Camp is Coming...are you ready?

Hi Sisters!
  I hope all of you are excited for one of the summer's BIGGEST events this year...the 100th Year Anniversary GIRLS' CAMP!  I am so excited!
  As you may have noticed, we do have a poll on the side asking which activity is your favorite.  Do you have another tradition at camp you'd like to share?
  One of my favorite traditions in my ward is "Warm and Fuzzies."  Warm and Fuzzies are notes written by young women for other campers telling them why they enjoy being at camp with them or giving them compliments.  They are then stuck in our beautiful, hand-made Warm and Fuzzy Mail-Box.  They are so wonderful...I love reading mine from years past! 
  LDS.ORG has some great things posted on the 100th Anniversary of Girls' Camp.  I have read some of them and I think it is SO cool how girls' camp started.  One article they have is about "Celebrating by Cooking."  For me, I absolutely love girls' camp meals.  One of our traditions is making our own Cafe Rio salads.  They are to die for!  Here's a recipe off of the website above that was made traditionally in girls' camp!:

Ring Tum Diddy (a one-pot dish)

You will need:
  • A frying pan, a spoon, a knife, and a board
  • 1 can corn
  • 3 onions
  • 1 large green pepper
  • 8 slices toast or crackers
  • 3 small tomatoes
  • 1/4 lb. bacon
  • 1/4 lb. American cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 can tomatoes
Dice and fry out the bacon; wash, seed, and cut up the pepper; peel and slice the onions thin and add to the bacon. Then add the tomatoes and corn. Season the toast. Just before serving, add the cheese. Serve hot on toast or crackers.



Do you have any cool activities or meals that are traditional at your girls' camp?  Tell us!  Make a comment or email us: gomerxoxo@yahoo.com

Modesty Update 6

They have some pretty cute, vintage stuff!  Check it out!
crepe de chine silk drapes beautifully into a full skirt from the banded waistline where a swath of crimson draws the eye to the slenderest part of the figure.  An exposed metal zipper runs the length of the back, and the high collar is finished with four covered buttons, the same that finish the billowing sleeves at a slender wrist.
With Honors That dress can make any menial task look fun!
Veni Vidi Vici I love the scarf!  And the dress is darling!
Serenade
An artful attraction in deep blue cotton spandex, the flattering pintucks, buttoned keyholes, and eased shape of this comfortable blouse make it a masterwork for any wardrobe. Machine wash cold, delicate. Lay flat to dry. 95% Cotton. 5% Spandex.
Pin Stripe Dress with Roll Over Collar and 3/4 Sleeves
Be the master of your own domain (whether that's the sky, the office, or just your own living room) in the Skymaster dress. A simple silhouette takes on new territory in the Skymaster dress, with its military-inspired shoulder accents, full, billowing sleeves finished in a dainty loop-and-button closure and versatile sash (it's long enough to wrap once or twice, tie in the front back or on the side, loose or cinched up…) Simple sheath styling is accentuated by bust darts and a faux wrap v-neckline.  Endless options paired with luxurious styling and 100% crepe de chine gives this dress powerhouse status in our closet.

Some of you guys have probably heard of this company, Down East.  It is BIG in my area...and there is no doubt why.  Their layering tees and camis fit GREAT and they've got some great deals going on at different times of the year!


 I love their jeans!  They are so snazzy and cute!

  So cute!  My friends and I have rose earrings similar to these and we     love them!

 I have this sweater and I love it.  The only problem is if you want the little flowers to lay flat after home washing it, you have to iron it.  But I love it anyway!

Style # 3004 *CLEARANCE*  I love this button down, formal look.  They go great with skirts, pants,...just about anything but swimsuit bottoms!

Cascade Skirt SHIP DATE 5/18/12  I'm afraid I'd be tempted to play with the ruffles during church...but this is way cute, nonetheless.  I love the pink, the length, and the litttle twirls!  Totally girly.

Knit Skit w/ Viscose  Black skirt...goes with everything.  The length is fabulous! 

Bailey  I love the buttons on this dress!  It is so cute.  And the color is PERFECT for summer...and spring and fall!
Daisy Ship Date 5/18/12  Big belts seem to be to be a big thing now-a-days.  It's vintage, but totally cute and modest!
