“March bustles in on windy feet
And sweeps my doorstep and my street.
She washes and cleans with pounding rains,
Scrubbing the earth of winter stains.
She shakes the grime from carpet green
Till naught but fresh new blades are seen.
Then, house in order, all neat as a pin,
She ushers gentle springtime in.”
- Susan Reiner, Spring Cleaning
In the Month of March
Prize Women kick started the month with our BE Conference. What a great time spent with our Lord, our friends, and the fabulous Jessi Gibson! Jessi brought us some incredible words of encouragement! We were blessed to have her join us for the weekend; be sure to keep up with her on Twitter @jessi_gibson.
This month on the blog, our authors will be writing on the theme “Never Say Never.” The catchy little saying is much more than the title of a Justin Bieber song. What comes to your mind when you hear it? Looking forward to reading what our fabulous ladies bring to the table this month!

They’re Back!
We had a lot of fun with them this summer and have decided to usher in spring with some more giveaways! Each month will offer a new little something just for you. We will have a random drawing at the end of the month for a cute Bible and journal package. This would be something fun to keep for yourself, or to gift to someone in need of a Bible! Each time you participate on the blog with us, you will be entered for a chance to win the gift. Everyone who comments on March posts or submits entries for our Recipe Box and Foto Friday post will have a chance to win!
(Contest details: Each person may have one entry per blog post [multiple comments on one post will still only give you one entry]. Prize31 authors are exempt from the drawing. The drawing for the Bible and journal will be held at the end of the day on Saturday, March 31. 2012. The winner will be announced on Monday, April 2, 2012.)

The Recipe Box for March
Spring Break is just a week away which means many of us will have kiddos home with us throughout the week. Let’s purpose to have fun, and make it a special time with our children! Spring break allows five extra days where you don’t have to rush to get everyone out the door in the morning. This month in The Recipe Box, we’ll share our favorite breakfast recipes. Even if you don’t have time for a homemade breakfast in the morning, breakfast for dinner is always a treat! Serve a yummy meal for your hubby, your kids, or have a group of girlfriends over and eat breakfast in your pjs! Share your breakfast favs with us at blog31@trinitytoday.com. The Recipe Box post will run this Friday, March 9th!
