Nurturing Learning, Wellness, and Fun: Recapping Recent Mom's Group Adventures (March & April 2023)

 

Hello, incredible moms who bring light to our community! As the seasons change, we continue to create beautiful memories and valuable connections through our mom's group. From enlightening meetings to delightful playdates and enchanting moms' nights, our journey together keeps getting more enriching. Let's relive the magic of the past months and celebrate the experiences that have shaped our bond.

Meetings that Enlightened and Empowered

March began with a powerful session on Parent Training Solutions led by a kids' behavior analyst. We delved into effective strategies for guiding our children's behavior, gaining insights that will undoubtedly make our parenting journey smoother and more rewarding.





April embraced the idea of holistic wellness with the Root Cause Protocol meeting. We explored how addressing underlying factors can lead to improved overall well-being, allowing us to live our lives to the fullest.

Our exploration of Mental Health in April was a reminder that we're not alone in our struggles. The open discussions allowed us to share our experiences, support each other, and learn about resources that can help us navigate the challenges of mental well-being.



Play Dates that Sparked Joy and Adventure

Our playdates have been a gateway to endless exploration and excitement. In March, we embraced the beauty of the outdoors with a Beach Play Day, basking in the sun, sand, and salty breeze while our little ones reveled in the wonder of the beach.


Clarke House Park provided a perfect setting for our kids to run, play, and connect with nature. The laughter and joy echoed through the park as our children created lasting memories.

April brought the highly anticipated Easter Egg Hunt, where the excitement of our kids was infectious. The thrill of discovering hidden treasures and the joy of celebration created a day to remember.



Hang & Play also took place in April, providing an opportunity for our little ones to engage in free play while we enjoyed each other's company and shared stories.



We expanded our horizons with a visit to the Cummer Museum, exploring the gardens and marveling at the new flamingo exhibit. It was a day of art, culture, and connection.

April's Beach Play Dates offered us more chances to soak up the sun and build sandcastles, reinforcing the sense of adventure that defines our group.

The Garden Playdate hosted at Brittany's house was a perfect blend of fun and tranquility, as our kids explored the beauty of nature while we savored the moments of togetherness.


Moms' Nights: Celebrating Friendship and Music

March's Mom Hang at Jinny's house was an evening of relaxation and connection, providing a much-needed break from our busy lives. The laughter and shared experiences strengthened the bonds of friendship that make our group so special.

River Jams Concert was a highlight of our recent moms' nights. The music, atmosphere, and shared enjoyment allowed us to unwind and revel in the joy of live performances.

As we navigate the seasons and the changes they bring, let's remember the lessons learned, the laughter shared, and the connections deepened during these incredible events.

Stay tuned for more exciting adventures on the horizon – here's to the continuing journey of growth, togetherness, and the magic of our mom's group!

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 pray...

Chasing Joy in 2021

I was thinking I'd be blogging once a month and then all of a sudden, it's January. Please, feel free to take over the blogger roll as I am failing. Let's do a recap. Our first meeting in November was moved to Tillie Fowler Park. Our one and only nursery worker, Carolyn had a COVID scare so she stayed home to be extra cautious. There also happened to be a scheduling error so we took that as a God Moment and moved to the park. We wrote thank you notes and talked about all the things we are grateful for. It was perfect timing headed into the Thanksgiving holiday.  Kate has been awesome at putting together girls nights and hosting them at her home. She even has party cups for us and a neat air filter system in her house to keep the air circulating in these COVID times. After Halloween she hosted a movie night to watch Witches.  Anne has been putting together some play dates. A group went to the beach, Cummer Museum , zoo and the Jax Arboretum in November. There have been a f...
