A New Year of Connection and Growth: Highlights from Recent Mom's Group Adventures (January & February 2023)

Hello, fabulous moms of our community! As we journey into a new year filled with possibilities, let's take a moment to celebrate the wonderful experiences we've shared as part of our incredible mom's group. From enlightening meetings to exciting playdates and engaging moms' nights, our bond continues to flourish. Let's delve into the captivating events that have enriched our lives over the past months.

Meetings that Nourished Mind and Relationships

January kicked off with a burst of laughter and anticipation during our White Elephant Exchange meeting. The gift swaps brought out the creative and fun-loving sides of each mom, leaving us with cherished memories and some delightful surprises.




In the spirit of empowerment, our next meeting featured a session on Self Defense. We learned valuable techniques to boost our confidence and ensure our safety, enhancing our physical and mental well-being.

February took us on a journey of introspection and connection with Marriage Therapy and Sex Therapy sessions. These meetings provided a safe space to explore vital aspects of our relationships and personal lives, fostering open discussions and growth.




Play Dates that Sparked Joy and Learning

Our playdates have been a source of joy and exploration for both moms and kids. January began with a cozy Coffee Playdate at an indoor playground, where we relished in warm beverages while our little ones played and made new friends.

The San Marco Library Time offered a fantastic chance for our kids to immerse themselves in stories, fostering their love for reading and learning.

A trip to the zoo in January was a roaring success, as we marveled at the wonders of nature alongside our excited children.

February brought more adventures, including the "Cute as a Bunny Hop" event, where our kids hopped around like adorable bunnies, and another memorable Zoo Playdate.

We embraced the opportunity for a Palatka Day Trip, exploring new places with our little ones and creating unforgettable memories.

Our exploration continued with a "Touch a Truck" playdate, where our children's eyes lit up with wonder as they got up close and personal with various vehicles.

Moms' Nights: Nurturing Friendships and Creativity

Our moms' nights have been a perfect blend of camaraderie and creativity. January's Vision Board Party allowed us to set intentions and visualize our goals for the coming year, while also strengthening our bonds as a supportive community. 

Comedy Night at the Walrus in January had us in stitches, sharing laughs and relishing in the joy of shared humor.

February brought a fabulous Galentine's Clothing Exchange, where we celebrated friendship and fashion by swapping items from our wardrobes. It was a reminder that our connections extend beyond the ordinary and that our support system is always here for us.

As we embrace the new year with open hearts and open minds, let's carry forward the knowledge gained, the relationships nurtured, and the laughter shared during these wonderful events.

Stay tuned for more exciting events ahead – here's to a year filled with growth, connection, and the magic of our mom's group!

All for Love

Registration for the 2021-2022 is officially out! Click here to register. Come join us! Below is a note from MOPS International on the new theme for the year: Here at MOPS, we choose a theme to rally around each year—a theme that inspires, encourages, and speaks into our mothering journeys. Last month, we unveiled our brand-new theme (You can watch the reveal video   ) for the next year, and we are obsessed. After a year spent hunkering down, living smaller, and experiencing a little more fear and anxiety than usual, we are declaring this is the year of going big. It’s a year of fresh starts and turning ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones.  Enthusiasm will replace worry. Friendship will replace loneliness. No longer will we wait to “get back to normal”; instead, we will start making space for the new things God has for us. We will become less guarded and more daring because this is our year to live ALL FOR LOVE.
