MOPS this week - Resurrection Eggs!

Hello ladies! Here's your reminder that we have MOPS this Thursday! We'll be celebrating Easter by making "Resurrection Eggs". We made these a few years ago and my kids just LOVED them to pieces (literally) so I'm thrilled to be getting a new set! It's a fun way to teach them the story of Easter, plus I've never met a kid who doesn't love opening up surprise eggs.

 

Also, we could use one more mom to help us in childcare this week, and one more to help on April 30. If you haven't had a chance to sign up to help this year, please let me know. We do require each mom to help out once a year.

 

Thanks! See you Thursday!

MOPS This week - organization!

Hello ladies! Here's your reminder that we have MOPS this Thursday! This is going to be a really good one - we have a professional organizer (Carla Dippel at Jane of All Trades - http://www.carladippel.com/) coming to speak to us about how to be more organized! We'll have lots of fun learning new tips and sharing our own!

See you Thursday at 9!

MOPS this week- Postpartum Depression

Hello ladies! This week we are thrilled to have Cheryl Childs from Families Matter come out and join us once again in a candid conversation about Postpartum Depression.  Ladies this is a great way for us to acquire some insight for yourselves, friends or family on a topic that still isn't easily shared.  We look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Spa Day!

Hello ladies! Finally it's here, Spa Day! This is a fun one! Join us on Thursday morning to be pampered! Enjoy some treatments, eat some chocolate, relax and enjoy! Just a few things you need to know:

If you would like to have your armpits or eyebrows sugared, you need to have a couple of weeks' worth of growth. Also, don't wear any lotions or deodorant that morning.

If you would like a pedicure, bring some flip flops to protect your wet polish!

Please plan to arrive between 9:00-9:15. Treatment sign-up is first-come first-served. When you sign up for your treatment appointments, don't forget to leave some time in between so we don't have problems with appointments running late.

I think that's it! We look forward to spoiling you!

Wing night and other reminders

Hello ladies! Just a heads up that we were incorrect in saying that Casual Connections is this week. Since there's 5 Thursdays in January we will NOT be having CC this week and the next one will be Feb. 5. This means that there is 3 weeks between MOPS this time, so the next MOPS (SPA DAY) will be Feb. 12.

Also! This Wednesday is our wing night at McCools (or whatever their new name is!) We'll be there from 6:30pm on but you can come whenever you're able. If you can RSVP to Sherri Spiers or myself before tomorrow (Tuesday) night that'd be great, so she can let the restaurant know how many ladies we're expecting.

Because of wing night, we'll be cancelling/postponing the Humpty's coffee night we had booked on Thursday. I'll keep you posted on the next date!

See you soon!

MOPS this week!

Hello ladies! Just your reminder that we have MOPS this week! We'll be doing our annual Table Switch-Up, playing some games and getting to know each other. It should be a great time!

 

Also, save the date for a mom's coffee night at Humpty's on Thursday the 29th, starting at 7:00pm. We all need some breathing space and the dads need some practice at bedtime right?!

 

Please remember that if you have a child in the 2-3yo room or 4-5yo room, bring a piece of fruit or a portion of crackers for the kids to share. They've been a little short in the last little while.

 

Thanks and see you Thursday! Mandy
