Did you Decide to Rise?

Our second year of the St. Matthews MOPS has officially come to a close. Now we look back on this particularly crazy year and see how we've done. Did you embrace the MOPS theme of the year? Did you rise to the occasion and make the most of this phase of motherhood? What could you have done differently? What did you do well? We believe that together we are better. Come join our village!

For our second meeting in April we had Erin Pruett walk with us through the parking lot to talk about mental health. It was a small meeting, but those present got an excellent walk and talk therapy session. Let's take a moment to think about how the last year has had an impact on us and our children. Let it out, mama. 

Jinny planned a play date strawberry picking in Palatka and another at Shady Park in Green Cove Springs. This spring weather has been awesome!



Kate put together a movie night at her house to see What Lies Beneath and a family night out at the concert series at the old Landing to see Sugar Ray. We had a great turn out. It was a perfect night to hear a concert on the water.

Our last meeting of the year was a Mother's Day celebration. We had mimosas, did nails and facials and traded summer survival tips. We also got to meet the newest MOPPET, baby Lucy. While we don't have official meetings during the summer, we do still have play dates and girls nights. We hope to see you this summer at a MOPS event!

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! 

PulseCheck with Ryan

 Thanks for such a productive meeting & being so receptive, ladies! ❤️ I got some action shots 💪 I hope Ryan was able to answer your first aid questions & I hope you guys gained some new skills and knowledge ☺️ While he wasn’t able to formally certify us during today’s session (to be certified through the American Heart Association- AHA you have to go through a formal class with testing requirements), he does have his Instagram @PulseCheckCPR where you can contact him to schedule a certification course (if you need CPR/BLS for jobs, babysitting, etc.). He is an AHA instructor. For any medical girlies in our group, he also can do BLS, ACLS, PALS, and other certifications.

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
