Leigh Anne and Sherra say…
We both know Loi Palmer from our homebased business. She is an active mentor to women in her church and she inspires people with her boundless energy, enthusiasm and creativity. We are delighted to introduce you to Loi…
I have been married to my precious husband for 24 years and the mother of three great kids ages 17-22. I have a degree in Biblical Education and I taught Special Ed for one year. I am a certified Lamaze teacher and birthing coach although I ended up with 3 C-sections! I have run a homebased business for 16 years and my favorite part of it is the amazing friends it has brought into my life. My passion is building deep friendships and encouraging women to love their husbands and kids…. life is hard and we need each other to pray us through the junk of life!
Favorite color:
Turquoise and white
Favorite food you associate with Fall:
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pancakes topped with butter and Vermont maple syrup.
Pet Peeve?
Beds that aren’t made!
What is something that no one knows about you? (That you want to tell the whole Internet world)
My childhood home was an old Jewish synagogue – it is now a restaurant
One word that describes you:
Happy!
What’s your motto or mantra:
“Love God, live in truth and peace and pull your friends out of the ditch” Malachi 2:7
What are the top three things that are most important to you — the things you love to do and you are passionate about?
A wiry smile tugs at my lips as I reflect on the desperate attempt to intertwine the Palmer and Eggimann family traditions. These were “situations” that were not hammered out before we said, “I do”. The Eggimann’s put up an artificial tree the day after Thanksgiving. Gifts were wrapped and placed under the tree as they were bought. The Palmer’s decorated their live tree five days before Christmas. Gifts magically appeared on Christmas morning. I’m sure you have a similar saga – A Thousand Ways to Celebrate the Same Holiday.
Traditions are an expression of who we are as a family. Step back for a minute and evaluate your family traditions. You will discover that traditions stem from our ethnic backgrounds, family religion, and the region of the country we live in. Here is a bold question… “Does my family really enjoy our traditions or are they a bone of contention stressing us out. Thus negating the true meaning of the holiday we are celebrating?”
This Christmas we are stepping out of our comfort zone; traveling with 12 members of our family, and spending two weeks at a children’s home in India. Not the norm… we are at a “freedom” stage … so before everyone gets married and grandkids come along we are going on an adventure. Bottom-line, we will be together celebrating the birth of Christ.
Here are some of our favorite family traditions that I am grateful for:

Learning to combine family traditions and have stress-free holidays creates magical memories. Being respectful and grateful for all of our different traditions means a holiday season full of delight. Gratitude for family traditions, especially at the holidays, is what makes our family unique and special.
What traditions are you looking forward to celebrating with your family this year?

We have designated Tuesday as a day where we will have different women share “Moments & Memories” in their lives.
We plan to feature women from all walks of lives – it may be in the form of an interview or as a guest writer. The column on Tuesday will be centered around our word of the month. We’d love to feature you as a guest writer. Qualifications: No experience necessary…just be willing to share a great moment or memory with other women. Send us an emailand we’ll schedule a date. Our guest writers do not necessarily have to have a website or a blog as we want iLashGirls to be a place where every woman has a voice!

Leigh Anne says…
My husband’s job – after 24 years of uninterrupted employment, his job loss made me realize that having a job is a blessing and we can’t take that for granted.
Sherra says…
My immediate family’s health – we’ve had some extended family health crises this year that make me remember how grateful we are for our good health.
