Stress Management

Time for MOPS! This Thursday (4/23) we have the pleasure of welcoming a local chiropractor as our guest speaker. Dr. Karla Miller (or one of her associates, if she is unable to attend) will be speaking to use about stress management.
I think I speak for 99.5% of us when I say that this is something we all can use!
I look forward to seeing many of you again on Thursday!
God bless!

Spring Fling!

Hello!
What a crazy start to Spring in Chicago this has been! Dare I say that it's my fault for my prediction of snow before Easter in a previous posting ? (See my Biblical Eating post on March 4)

MOPS will be this Thursday the 9th! We'll be having fun at our Spring Fling! We'll be playing some games, giving away prizes, eating some yummy food, and just enjoying our time with other moms! It should be a blast!

We hope you can join us for the fun! Feel free to invite other mothers to join us as well!
God bless!

Active Mom's Club

I meant to post this blog entry last week, but life got the best of me. Better late than never, I suppose.

I wanted to let everyone know that we will be having Cassandra Hawkinson from Active Mom's Club come speak to us tomorrow at MOPS! She will be speaking to us about the importance of a healthy, active life and leading us in a brief exercise routine (DRESS COMFY!)

If you would like to know more about Active Mom's Club, you can check out their website at:

Look forward to seeing everyone!
God bless!

Biblical Eating

It's Almost Spring!!! I can feel the change in the air, see buds on trees, and enjoy the sunshine! But I must remember, this is Chicago. We could very well have a blizzard before Easter.

Thursday, March 12, is our next MOPS meeting. We will have the joy of welcoming Hope Egan. She will be speaking on the topic of Biblical Eating. Hope will share things that she's learned and tips that she has gleaned in her search for what it means to eat well based upon teaching found in the Bible. Hope has written two books and is in the process of compling a cookbook with all kinds of recipes based up on these principles.

Come out and join the fun! We look forward to seeing you at MOPS!
God bless and again, enjoy the sun!

Fussy Baby Network & MNO

Hello Ladies!
Next Thursday is our next chance to join us for MOPS! We will be having a guest speaker from the "Fussy Baby Network" join us to speak about setting boundaries. This should be an exciting time and a great opportunity to learn some parenting tips that could prove quite useful. :o)

Also, next Thursday night (Feb. 26) we will be having the first MNO of the year! What's, MNO? MNO stands for Mom's Night Out. It's a chance for you to leave the kiddos with their daddy or a sitter and join with other moms for a night out on the town. For this MNO we will be checking out a movie and grabbing a cup of coffee afterwards. If you'd like to join in the fun, contact Thiele for more details at t.generous@gmail.com.

God bless until next time!
