Embracing Summer: A Short Pause on Mom's Group Meetings and a Promise for the New School Year (May 2023)

Hello, extraordinary moms who light up our community! As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, we find ourselves at a special juncture in our mom's group journey. It's time to reflect on the incredible experiences we've shared, as we prepare to bid adieu to our regular meetings for the summer months. Let's celebrate the remarkable moments that have enriched our lives and look forward to the promise of a new school year.

Meetings that Sparked Connection and Celebration

Our final meeting marks a culmination of learning, growth, and camaraderie. In a spirit of unity and festivity, we're coming together for a unique event – Tacos & Testimonials, complete with DIY manicures & mimosas! It's a time to savor delicious tacos, share heartfelt stories, pamper ourselves with nail care, and toast to the cherished memories we've created.

This meeting is a celebration of us – our triumphs, challenges, and the bonds that hold us together. As we relax and indulge, let's remember that our group is a source of support that will continue to uplift us, even as we take a break for the summer.

Play Dates that Created Lasting Memories

Our playdates have been a source of joy, adventure, and family bonding. The Shrimp Festival in Fernandina Beach was a feast for the senses, offering a delightful array of experiences for both kids and adults.

Family Movie Night at the Jumbo Shrimp field was a magical evening under the stars, as we watched "The Bad Guys" with our loved ones, surrounded by the spirit of camaraderie.

Our visit to MOSH (Museum of Science and History) was an opportunity for our kids to learn and explore while having a blast. These playdates have been a reminder of the importance of quality time spent with our families and fellow moms.

Moms' Nights: Celebrating to the Fullest

Our moms' nights have been a sanctuary of laughter, bonding, and celebration. The MOPS & Pops End of Year Party, hosted at Anne's house, was a heartwarming way to close this chapter of our mom's group meetings. We celebrated the achievements of our kids and ourselves, sharing stories, laughter, and perhaps a few tears of pride.










Looking Ahead to the New School Year

As we enter the summer season, our mom's group meetings will take a break, giving us the opportunity to embrace the joys of family vacations, relaxation, and the simple pleasures of life. During this time, we'll hold onto the memories we've made and the friendships we've cultivated.

But fret not, dear moms, for the promise of a new school year brings with it the excitement of reconnecting, sharing, and growing together. Our mom's group will resume with fresh energy, new experiences, and renewed bonds that remind us that we are never alone on this journey of motherhood.

So, as we bid adieu to our regular meetings for now, let's raise our glasses to a summer of fun, laughter, and cherished moments. Until we meet again, let the warmth of the season fill your hearts with joy, and we'll look forward to reuniting in the coming school year. Cheers to you, fabulous moms!

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...

PulseCheck with Ryan

 Thanks for such a productive meeting & being so receptive, ladies! ❤️ I got some action shots 💪 I hope Ryan was able to answer your first aid questions & I hope you guys gained some new skills and knowledge ☺️ While he wasn’t able to formally certify us during today’s session (to be certified through the American Heart Association- AHA you have to go through a formal class with testing requirements), he does have his Instagram @PulseCheckCPR where you can contact him to schedule a certification course (if you need CPR/BLS for jobs, babysitting, etc.). He is an AHA instructor. For any medical girlies in our group, he also can do BLS, ACLS, PALS, and other certifications.
