Better Moms Make a Better World

"Better Moms Make a Better World" is one of the MOPS tagline. We are all about you, the mom. That's one thing that sets us apart from other moms groups. You come to a meeting, drop your children with Carolyn, then come take a break and fill your soul. We are here to support you, make sure you are getting what you need so you can be your best self when caring for your family. We know you are carrying a lot on your shoulders. We are here to help. Our meeting topics are designed to strengthen your soul and provide you with content to be the best mom you can be. Let us know if you have ideas for topics or speakers. We still have a few spots to fill this year. For our second meeting of the new year, we had 2 meetings in one week. The first was a zoom meeting we tapped into with the St. Marks MOPS. It was a school choice panel. Kelly Risdon spoke about her experience with private school at St. Marks. Laurie Cutlip talked about homeschooling. Charlotte Joyce spoke about Duval county public schools. Dr. Withun talked about charter schools. There's no right or wrong answer here. You have to do what works best for your family and sometimes each child individually. We hope the information on this panel was helpful. 

The following Thursday we still had our regular meeting at St. Matthews. We did a toy swap in the parking lot. We popped our trunks and browsed each other's toys. Whatever was left was donated to Catholic Charities. The weather was perfect so we sat outside by the softball field for the rest of our meeting. Meghan's frittata was delicious!

Kate hosted a zoom moms night out on Monday. It was a Disney trivia night. We are still in these crazy times where everyone has a different comfort level. If you feel okay meeting in person, come on out! We can also zoom or FaceTime you in for the meetings. Kate has been great about making both zoom and in person moms nights out.
Outside play dates are the best, pandemic or not. One Tree Hill is a favorite spot. You can learn about local wildlife and watch goats walk on boardwalks! Our group met there one day this month. There was also a last minute meet up at Chuck E. Cheese. We hope to see you soon, we have lots of fun planned for February!

2025- A Breath of Fresh Air

  It has taken two whole years for this new member to log into the blog and I’ve finally done it! *round of applause* I am definitely adding it to my accomplish and giving myself a pat on the back.  I feel like that is apart of motherhood right?? Trying to do something for so long and not quite figuring it out and then finally someone sees it with new eyes and *BAM* it all connects and works?!  I wouldn’t survive this life without my MomCo (MOPS) village. 🥂 Here’s to fresh new beginnings, an updated blog, and friendships! 

Egg Hunts are better with Moms!

 One of my favorite events of the year is the egg hunt! Super casual, super chill, super fun! Bring 12 eggs, leave with 12 eggs. You kids run around and “hidden” eggs and then crack them open to treasures. Followed by. Quick trip to the park and everyone naps on the way home.  🏆 WIN WIN 

First Meeting of 2025 ✅

  What a better way to kick off the year, than a White elephant gift exchange?! One mom’s trash is another mom’s treasure. We had laughs, steals, board games, socks, a BEAUTIFUL pair of leggings, and everything else. It was a great time to sit back and enjoy our group.  After, we played a dice “get to know you” game at tables. Roll the die, pick a box, and spill your tea. ☕️  I truly loved hearing other moms funny stories and embracing that we aren’t alone in the trenches.
