Together with Friends

Our first meeting in February, we took over the St. Matt's kitchen and did meal prep. We each went home with freezer meal bags of chicken fajitas, meatloaf, sweet and sour meatballs, honey Dijon chicken and sausage and peppers. We chatted, traded tips and made a weeks worth of dinners for our families. We did extras for working moms and moms with sick kids. MOPS International even reposted our Instagram post! Becky has been making that happen a lot for us, lately!




We did a Relationship Challenge on social media to celebrate Valentine's Day. 

For our second meeting of the month, we had Barbara Handzel, a marriage building leader from Resurrection talk about marriage and gave some words of wisdom. She also passed out some neat bookmarks and hand outs.







We had a few fun girls nights this month. We went to ladies night at Fired Up (Kate's awesome photography skills!) and a few of us did a One Vibe dance class. It's neat getting to know everyone without kids climbing on us!



We've also stepped it up with the play dates, I think. We started making Valentine's for the nursing home and then went to deliver them on Valentine's Day. That rolled into a weekly Monday afternoon play date- rotating houses: Anne, Kate, Meghan and Lucy. A group went on the St. John's Riverkeeper tour. We started a Best Lent Ever weekly walk & talk. Then there's lots of last minute park meet ups or other fun things people post about as they decide to do them and invite friends. The Facebook group is action packed. Take Over Tuesdays are happening on Instagram, too. Come join in all the fun!
