Enrichment aka Homemaking

Let me tell everyone upfront, I do not like enrichment, homemaking or whatever you want to call it. (For those of you who may not know, in the LDS Church women get together ~ in my ward it is 4 times a year~ to "enrich" themselves and others.) I have always figured that if I needed to know something or learn to do something I would find it online, in a book or call a friend who could teach me then and there rather than waiting for someone in the ward to come up with the idea. Additionally, in the past I would much rather have my evenings to myself rather than spending it at the church.
With all that said, I am on the enrichment committee and last month we had an awesome activity.

We had a celebration of being an 8 Cow Woman.

"Because You Are an 8 Cow Woman"
Each cow represents a different principle that will help each of you find the beauty within.

Since I am on the committee, I was able to help paint the cows. The lady in charge is so talented and came up with all of the ideas. Additionally, I am the one who prepared all the food. It was fun to put that together and see the fruits of my labors enjoyed so well.

I suppose in the end, I am going to have to check out enrichment again.
