Hello wonderful moms of our community! It's time to take a moment to reflect on the heartwarming and exciting events we've had the pleasure of sharing in recent months. From invigorating meetings to delightful playdates and memorable moms' nights, our group has truly been a hub of connection, growth, and celebration. Let's dive into the moments that made these past months so special.
Meetings that Nourished Body and Mind
Our meetings have been a true source of inspiration and rejuvenation. In November, we delved into the world of wellness with a invigorating yoga session. Kudos to Amber for leading us in a fantastic yoga experience, where we all donned our workout gear and embraced the peaceful energy of collective movement.
November also included a hands-on meeting hosted by Brittany, where we made Christmas and Holiday ornaments using old music sheets to bring home some holiday cheer! The group enjoyed the hands-on activity and the opportunity to connect with one another.
As December approached, we turned our focus inward for a
session of meditation and relaxation, which included the joy of a toy-purge and toy exchange! A much-needed respite during the holiday
season, this meeting left us feeling centered and ready to take on the joys and
challenges ahead.
Play Dates that Created Lasting Memories
Our play dates have been an absolute blast, offering our little ones a chance to explore, learn, and bond. In November, we ventured to the Murray Hill Library for enchanting story times that captivated our children's hearts and sparked their imaginations. Twice in the same month – that's how much our kids loved it!
We also brought a touch of holiday magic with Wake Up Santa
at Orange Park Mall – an event that filled our kids with glee as they welcomed
the festive season.
Our coffee play date at an indoor playground was a wonderful
opportunity for both kids and moms to interact, relax, and enjoy some
well-deserved downtime.
December was all about embracing the holiday spirit. We
watched the timeless classic "Elf" during our Classical Movie Night –
a heartwarming experience for both moms and kids alike. The festive cheer
continued with events like "Christmas in Avondale," "Clark House
Park," "JAX Illumination," and the "Downtown Scavenger
Hunt." These moments painted our days with joy and memories.
Moms' Nights: A Time for Laughter and Camaraderie
Our moms' nights have been the perfect remedy for busy
schedules – a time to unwind, laugh, and build strong friendships. In November,
we jingled and mingled at Ashley's place, sharing stories, laughs, and even
some dance moves.
December brought the "Drop & Shop" moms' night, where we had the chance to run some last-minute holiday errands while bonding with fellow moms.
One of the highlights of the season was Kate's Fourth Annual
MOPS Christmas Treat Exchange. The delectable homemade cookies and desserts
that everyone took home were a delicious reminder of the love and camaraderie
that defines our group.
From yoga poses to story times, coffee chats to holiday
adventures, our recent events have strengthened our bond as a community of
supportive and empowering mothers. As we step into the new year, let's carry
forward the lessons learned, the friendships forged, and the memories created
during these heartwarming events.
Stay tuned for more exciting events on the horizon. Here's
to the power of togetherness, growth, and celebration – the essence of our
amazing mom's group!
