Strength is part of this year's theme in MOPS. This is a good one, especially during these crazy times. This was the theme we chose for the month, too. Our first meeting in October was a yoga meeting. Our very own, Danielle led us in a spiritual flow focusing on core strength. She spoke to us about diastasis recti (the separation of your "six pack" muscles after pregnancy) and gave some tips on fixing that with yoga moves.
MOPS International sends us a bunch of meeting material. We used this (for the first time) for our second meeting of the month. We worked in groups to build a tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows then listened to Toni Greco talk about building mental stamina. Afterwards we had a really authentic conversation about how we are using these tools during this COVID pandemic.
Kate put together a BINGO night at Lillians one night this month. We did not come home as big winners but it was still nice to have a night out and lucky to snag a table!
We are still welcoming new members and looking for nursery workers. Come hang out with us! "Better Moms Make a Better World"!
