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. We prepped honey Romano pork chops, chicken fiesta soup, scalloped potatoes and ham, beef & cheese pasta and pot roast. It's so nice to leave a MOPS meeting with dinner done for the week!

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. For our first meeting in October we said special prayers for our moms who have lost babies. We honored one of our own moms, Lynn and her sweet Owens by painting rocks in his memory with #Owens.RocksJax




We had Halloween fun at our second meeting of the month. Amber spoiled us with her festive waffle irons and all the fixings. We played the chair game and guess the moms.


We've had so many fun fall events around town. Lots of pumpkin patch playdates. We did a family night out in the pumpkin patch for a movie night. Lynn hosted a Halloween party. There was a Halloween scavenger hunt downtown to see all the decorations. It's fall, y'all!
