We're Rockin' the Fall, Ya'll!

This is our third official year of MOPS at St. Matthews. We have a leadership team running full force. Kate, our coordinator hosted us for a planning session to kick the year off in August. For our first meeting in September, we welcomed the new group and played a personality game to learn more about each other. We had fun prizes and journals for each mom. It was a cool morning to be outside to help with social distancing. It did warm up on those bleachers, though! We've had a few moms nights this month. There's a monthly craft night. This month we made fun jewelry. Kate hosted us to watch Cruella one night, too. For our second meeting in September we did fix it, freeze it meals.

Summer Fun

I'm doing a little catch up here and didn't want to miss updating on all the summer fun in 2021. Play dates galore are what keep our moms sane in the Florida summer heat with all these babies home. Trying new things together helps us be brave and supported. Kate opened her home and yard to host swim lessons. Moms signed up for time slots while the swim teacher stayed put. Learning to swim is HUGE for us in this phase of life and being surrounded by water.       Play dates were planned (or thrown together last minute) all over the Jacksonville area.  Here are a few glimpses of the fun.
