Fun at MOPS!

These are actually pictures from our first MOPS meeting of this year--from our 'Speed Meeting' rounds and life map activity.
We just fininshed an awesome meeting with Kathleen Ronald--challenging us to evict the negative thinking from our own lives, as well as our children's, and helping us to realize how powerful our words really are... and MAN, was it GOOD! Find her information here http://www.speaktacular.com/ --it would be well worth your time to check her out. Thanks, Kathy Kleinert for sharing your lovely friend with us today!
There are lots of fun playdates and events happening this month--check in with your table leaders and here on the blog for updates.

MOPS Meeting October 14!

Yes, MOPS meeting THIS THURSDAY, October 14 at 9:00am. MOPS meets the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month (except November and December). There was a teeny tiny bit of confusion because of the extra week in October.

We have a special treat for you all at the next meeting. Kathleen Ronald, a professional motivational speaker, will join us. She will be speaking on the five ways to evict negative thinking. We are so excited to have her with us. This is definitely one meeting you don't want to miss.

Also, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear pink to October 14th's meeting to honor breast cancer survivors and encourage awareness. You will also earn an extra point in the MOMOLOGY challenge!
