Love, Sex, and Marriage: Michelle Sanders

Our next meeting is Feb. 23 and we will have a guest speaker. Michelle Sanders will be speaking to us about Love, Sex, and Marriage. What a fun topic this will be. I'm looking forward to hearing Michelle speak. Hope all of you can come.

Next month, we will be meeting on March 9th. We are doing a fun picture frame craft that I had planned for us to do in Jan... but I got the flu. We are only meeting once because the 4th Tuesday is during spring break. I'm really looking forward to some spring like weather that's for sure.

Have a great week you guys and hope to see you on Tuesday! God Bless!

Valentine's Day craft

First of all, let me thank my SIL Shelley, who lives in Clarksville as most of you know. She put together the cute little tags. I am so thankful to have her as my SIL and in fact I consider her more like a "real" sister. Thanks Shelley, I am so thankful and blessed to have you!

Ok Ladies, the pictures are not great... I'll post more when my SIL sends me her pics, I am hoping they are better than mine.

The pieces in the little baggy are for your tag, and the top of the jar. The black circle is for the top of the jar and the red tag is the base for your "ooh lah lah." The ribbon is to attach the tag with around the jar. Feel free to use any of the extra pieces in your baggy to decorate your tag or the top of the jar. The "ooh lah lah" is on a sticker maker paper. Just press down over the letters and peel the top layer off, the top layer will be sticky so don't set it on anything. The inside is up to you... make it special for who you are giving it to. I included some small stuffers. Hope you guys like it. Feel free to ask questions. I had fun today! Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Playdates?

Well, ladies my thoughts on a playdate this week to replace our meeting are as follows:

Wednesday: the mall from 10-12, or afternoon @ Eastside 12-2

Thursday: mall 10-12 or afternoon @ Eastside 12-2

I am willing to do one of each on both days, so everyone can come and pick up their Valentine's day craft/gifts. Just let me know your thoughts either by commenting or facebook.

And I'm going to ask if we can use the church play room, so instead of the mall we could go there. I'll let you know about the church play area as soon as I know! If we can use that room, we will try and split the time between moms watching kids and go to another room and do the craft. Like the first 30 min, half do the craft and the next 30 min, the other half does the craft. I will post tonight for sure plans on this blog and facebook, so be on the look-out!

The Snow won't stop the crafts...

Hey ladies, if the snow keeps us from MOPs tomorrow, we will still be doing the Valentine's day craft later in the week. Stay tuned for more info.... I hope we can just have MOPs tomorrow but if not, the stuff for the craft is just to cute to waist, so maybe Wed or Thurs or both days, I'll set up a time where everyone can come pick up the stuff to do the Valentine's craft. I'll post the "for sure" plans tomorrow. Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Enjoy the snow!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Ladies! I am excited to get back in the swing of things. I feel like I haven't seen any of you in so long....We have an exciting semester ahead of us filled with fun crafts, great speakers, and great fellowship. I am looking forward to ALL of the above.

Coming up on January 26, Dr. Josh Wilkinson will be coming to speak to our MOPs group. He is an internal medicine/pediatric physician and has offered to a Q&A type discussion. So be thinking of questions you would like to ask him.

Since February is the month of love, we are doing a fun craft for Valentine's Day and on Feb 23 Michelle Sanders is coming to talk to us about Love, Sex, and Marriage. You know this will be a fun topic, right?

Just a reminder our meetings are the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 9:30 to 11:30. I am excited to meet new women and visit with the returning ladies. I have missed everyone!

Cookie Exchange

Hey Ladies. Our last meeting until after the holidays will be on December 8th. It will be a cookies exchange at my house. It will start at 10ish and last until you guys get ready to leave. In case you haven't ever participated in a cookie exchange, the idea is to bring a couple of dozen cookies and trade with everyone else's cookies to result in taking a plate of "variety" cookies home with you! We are going to have lunch, probably pizza, so just bring your cookies and your kids!
Besides the cookie exchange, I am planning a play date for Tuesday December 15, probably at the library or chick-fil-a. I'll keep you guys posted on the place and time. Until then, have a good holiday season!

Events to come!

Hey ladies. It was good to be at MOPs on Tuesday. As the holidays approach, we are planning a few special events. On November 30 and December 1st we are planning a shopping day for mommies! The plan is to meet at the church and divide and conquer. Half of the women will leave their kids with the other half of the women and go shopping for three hours. Use this time to get Christmas shopping done, pamper yourself, sleep as some said... whatever you choose. Then the next day, we swap! Hope you guys come and enjoy.

Also, we are planning a Christmas cookie exchange, but dates have not been finalized. I hope everyone is doing ok with all this sickness around. I know my kids have had some bad days of fever. Please let me know if I can do anything for you guys and I hope to see you all on the 30th.

On Thursday night, well technically Friday morning, the movie "New Moon" will be showing at the Malco. The times start at midnight and they have several showings. If any of you are sucked in by the Twilight saga and would like to go, we have a group started. Just let me know if you would like to go.

See ya girls!
