Thankful for MOPS

November was a good month for us! Our Take Over Tuesdays are in full swing with each mom tagging the mom for the next week. It's a neat way to follow along and get to know each other. Our first November speaker was Ashley Holt, from J. Ashley. She brought along her closet and more and we talked about fashion, style and keeping your closet organized. It's easy to get in a slump when surrounded by kids who are spitting up on you. Ashley gave us some great tips on how you can stay in style through motherhood. I totally added boots and a jean jacket to my yoga-pant-tshirt uniform this week and looked and FELT great!
Our new sign is quite an improvement

We had to dress a mannequin

Talking about fashion


We had a Blessing Way to honor one of our members, Lynn. Erica hosted the lovely party. It was neat preparing her for the birth of her 5th baby!

Going into the holiday season it was nice to have Erin Pruett, licensed mental health counselor talk to the group. As always, things discussed at the meeting stay there so protect the privacy of the group. Erin is currently working with Rethreaded, an organization that provides employment and healing therapy to women who have been involved in human trafficking. It was powerful.
We had to cancel our moms night out at Creative Grain, but there was a last minute one at La Nap. Lots of play dates all over, too- MOSH, playgrounds, each other's houses, the library, etc. If you haven't made it to anything yet. Let us know what works for you and we can plan something around your schedule!
Kids got in free many places this month! It was fun to explore new ones!
