Life on Planet Mom
Just wondering if anyone has started reading the MOPS book:
Life on Planet Mom....
After reading the first few chapters, one can sure relate to the way our relationships change once when we became a mom. It is crazy how the moment a sweet, little bundle of joy arrives, our relationships can be enhanced, strengthened, questioned, strained, and so forth. The author explores the relationships in our lives that change and also offers great reminders on how to keep a healthy balance in our lives. The theme of the book - thus far - is the need for all moms to understand and tweek our relationships in order for us to be the women God desires us to be.
If you are reading this book right now, post a comment on the MOPS blog to share your thoughts about the contents......

Happy Harvest!
Hope your October is going well and you are enjoying the rain and much cooler weather here in Granbury!
At our October MOPS meeting, we had Trooper Dub Gillium back again to speak to us about car seat saftey and all the things moms need to know about keeping our little ones safe in the car. We were able to get to know our table members a little bit better too by sharing some answers to some fun questions and also our prayer requests.
One great way our MOPS group shares in the precious time of a new birth is by showering new moms-to-be with diapers and wipees. Then after the little one (or ones) arrive, we sign up to bring meals to their families. What an awesome way to celebrate a new arrival and show our MOPS family we care during such a wonderful and transitional time in a mom's life! This month, we were able to celebrate Whitney and the birth of her new baby boys. Whitney just had twins and their new family additions are doing really well and mom is too! This year, we have several pregnant moms in our group and we look forward to showering them with dinners, necessities, and prayers in the upcoming months. :0)
Don't forget to check the blog sidebar to see the activities we have planned until we meet again at Lakeside on Thursday, November 19! We are teaming up with Pecan Playgroup and joining in on playgroups, and having a mom's movie night out too......
Many blessings to each and every mom!
Hope to see you soon!

September Meeting...
*****************************************************
September 17 was the first MOPS meeting of the new year. Our guest speaker was the entertaining, but always informative, Trooper Gillium. He spoke to us about Keeping Kids Safe and also shared some helpful tips for moms on how to be alert and aware of our surroundings.
The MOPPETS (the MOPS childcare) went really smoothly....with many, many volunteers to help with our little ones! The children all seemed to be having a blast!

After our great speaker, we had a fun ice breaker to get to know everyone a little better. Also, this year each table has a mentor mom sitting with us to shepard us on our motherhood journey.
A few pictures from our meeting....
