First MOPS Meeting of the Year
Hello, wonderful moms!
We want to remind you that our new season of MOPS is right around the corner! Our first MOPS meeting for 2010/2011 will be Thursday, September 2nd from 9:30am - 11:30am at Lakeside Baptist Church (500 W. Bluebonnet, Granbury, TX 76049). This year we will be meeting on the first Thursday of every month, and our theme for the year will be Momology: the Art & Science of Mothering: "Mothering is both art and science. It combines all of who we are to shape healthy, resilient kids. Mothering is so complex it requires both sides of our brain..." (from MOPS.org)
In addition, at each MOPS meeting this year we'll be focusing on one of four essential elements for successful outcomes with our kids: Core - knowing and growing ourselves. Finesse - honing practical mothering skills. Circle - building relationships to help us in our mothering. Grandscape - engaging with God and his unique purpose for our lives.
We have some great speakers lined up this year to help us in developing each of these essential elements. We'll enjoy talks on Parenting with Love & Logic, Boundaries, and Mommy & Me Music, for example.
We are so excited about this new year of MOPS, and we hope to see you Thursday, September 2nd!
