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!
