Can you believe it? It's a New Year.
To ring in the New Year for MOFIA Kim shared a special message today...I can't say what it was because I wasn't there. My new year started off with runny noses, and sneezes and coughs but hopefully yours was much better! I'm sure Kim's words of wisdom were inspirational and encouraging to you moms. She is always so wise and full of grace as she shares with us from her wealth of knowledge about being in the pit of raising preschoolers (oops did I just say that out loud..you know what I mean...The wonderful stage of mothering preschoolers).
If anyone would like to please share a few thoughts on what Kim spoke about please feel free to leave a comment or two in the comment box below.
What I do know is that 2009 for MOFIA is going to be full of some fun things!
To start us off we have our Scrapbook Night at Treasured Memories Scrapbook Store.
Don't worry if you don't actually scrapbook or aren't creative like some of the ladies in our group; come out and hang out with some awesome women.
When: January 16th 6pm-9pm
Where: Treasured Memories Scrapbook Store
Sapulpa, OK 74066
Across from the Police Station
Cost: $5.00 a person and bring a pot luck dish to share (think finger foods and desserts)
What to bring: Anything scrappy...punches, papers, photos, idea books, ect... or like I said just yourself!
If we enjoy this we're thinking about making it a monthly thing! So come out, enjoy some good fellowship without the kiddos, and get a chance to yak and breath without hearing "MOM!" for at least a couple hours.
It's Fundraiser Time again!!!!
This time we're doing another Babysitting Event for Valentines Day. I'll post some fliers you can download and print to hand out or email out to friends. We need volunteers though so please let Ambrosia or Aimee know if you can help out.
What: Save the Date for a Date
When: February 6th, 6pm-midnight
Where: Faith Church
Cost: $15.00 first child, $5.00 each additional child
RSVP: by January 20th
Dinner will not be provided but snacks and drinks will be, so if you're volunteering and bringing your kids please have them fed before hand! And we'll probably need volunteers to show up a bit earlier then 6pm so look for more information as it comes...
We're hoping to raise a couple hundred dollars for the MOFIA budget so pass those fliers out!
In other exciting news we're planning on making 2009 the year of getting to know each other better....so in order to do that we've setup some play dates. On the weeks we don't have Mofia we'll be getting together at Anna French's house and at the Sapulpa McDonalds (which has a playland).
There will be an email that goes out with Address and Directions.
First Playdate
When: January 13th 10am-130pm
What to bring: Bring a sack lunch, drinks, and cups and plates and such will be provided. You're also welcome to use the microwave and oven...Coffee and Teas will be provided for us moms as well.
Depending on the weather bring hats, coats, gloves,ect...we have 10 acres and I want to make sure everyone spends at least a few minutes outside instead of cooped up inside. We have videos and tons of toys. So no need to bring anything unless you really want to. Bigger kids are welcome to bring footballs and that type of stuff.
This is open to all moms and we at MOFIA really hope that you all feel welcome to come and just hang out and get to know other moms that are going through or have gone through the same things you're going through. This is a chance to make some great friends.
Look forward to the next Meeting where Shawna and Kim will answer all the questions we have about raising Preschoolers, or Newborns, or our Gradeschoolers. They have such great wisdom and are really fun to talk to as well. If you'd like, you can email them some questions ahead of time or come up with some really tough ones and throw them at them like a curve ball and see what happens. That's always fun as well!
I'll be posting all these things on our Calendar and you can check it out here...
If you'd like to sign up for reminders of these events email me at annafrnch@gmail.com and I'll put you on our google calendar list for reminders.
And if you haven't gotten your T-shirt yet and you ordered one remember to bring Aimee a check at the next meeting..she's got them and they are way too cute!
