Awesome! It is so awesome how many moms are coming together at our MOPS meetings to fellowship! We had five more new moms this past week ... and it was a joy to welcome each one!
Has anyone else become more aware of how their personality makes us the mom that we are? I'm praying that God will show us how to use our strengths to be better moms and give us grace for our weak areas.
Thank you for being part of our MOPS group! Can't wait until next meeting. Don't forget to bring leftovers for Joe to work his magic ... and email me (beingamommyrocks@yahoo.com) or bring recipes to share!

FIVE new moms
Today's meeting was great! We had FIVE new moms join us ... and we were so delighted! Eden overflowed with energy sharing with us about stress and exercise ... and hopefully we soaked up some of that energy for exercising! Anyone up for a walk?
It was so much fun hearing about everyone's favorite food family memory ... and of course the snacks were all yummy!
Hopefully, you were able to get out and get movin' on this beautiful fall day!

MOPS Sept 30th
Life has really seems to pick up the pace this time of the year and it seemed everytime I would sit down to write our last meeting update something or someone would call me :) So here it is our last meeting summary.
The last meeting was our last meeting of the summer and for our icebreaker we went from table to table sharing our favorite memories from Summer of 2010. We shared about our favorite beach, park, church, family and fair memories and it was so wonderful to hear some of the responses from our groups. It gave us a moment to share with the other mothers our favorite activities that we kept our families busy with during the summer. We then ate some delicious snacks brought by many of our members along with coffee and hot chocolate.
While eating our snacks we watched a very informative and interesting video introducing us to our Topic for this year which is Momology. Most of the information given sparked great conversation during our discussion questions. After we discussed about who we are as mothers we split up again to do a great craft. Our craft leader, Angie, showed us how to make flat stone magnets out of print offs and magazines. It was so neat and we all walked away with inspiration for possible budget friendly christmas gifts. Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves and were so excited to learn what Angie had prepared for us.
As the meeting wrapped up you could feel the excitement in the air and we discussed our "theme" for next meetings snack which is going to be "your favorite childhood snack". If you 'd like to bring along with you your favorite snack feel free :) There was also buzz about the fundraiser that was coming up for our group. It was our MOPS yardsale that went over really well in our community and for our group.
Our next meeting is this Thursday at 9 am at The First United Methodist in Murray Parlor, feel free to join us and see what MOPS is all about. See you there :)
