Last night we had our Standard's Night in Young Women's. It was amazing--like a miniature Time Out For Women for our gals. They rotated to different rooms where different ward members spoke about various For Strength of Youth topics. I loved it. What I liked most was the restricted time amount in each room--and so each speaker had to get straight to the point. There wasn't a lot of room for fluff.
Speaking of fluff--we had divine fluffy cupcakes served as refreshments. LOVE THESE.
