We had our first MOPS meeting yesterday…it was a crazy whirlwind of fun…the first day is semi chaotic…jut because there is a lot of info to go over…people to catch up with, chit chat, getting kids where they need to go, etc. For those who don’t know…MOPS stands for Mothers Of Preschoolers. It’s the best kind of support group a mom can ask for…there is something awesome about being in a room where you can relate to EVERYONE. Where you don’t have to apologize for smelling like spit up and drool…or you know that you just might not win the contest for least amount of sleep last night.
I love it…and it is really on my heart this year to do what I can to make it awesome for the ladies involved in our MOPS.
Somehow, over the last couple of weeks, I morphed from being just a table leader to being a table leader/craft help/craft guru on the steering committee. 🙂
No complaints though…I got to pick out some awesome fabric and do my best to make the room a special pretty place for the ladies to enjoy each morning that we get together.
That photo at the top? Table “runners” of sort…each table was assigned their own pretty pretty fabric. From the fabric I made each table a runner…flags, centerpiece and each lady at the table a messy flower. 🙂
The theme this year is “Planet Mom”. Mmmm. We weren’t exactly thrilled with it…so we tweaked it to make it more fun…our new theme is “Messy and Beautiful. Planet Mom”. Hence the messy flowers, table runner, centerpieces, etc. All very messy. All very beautiful.
Here’s another look at the runner/table cloth. I LOVE them and debate about carrying them in the shop…if I made them thicker they could be perfect.
I left the edges nice and messy…still very pretty I think.
Here you can kind of see it all together…
Our wonderful Coordinator Lauren, sporting her messy flower.
Hi Lauren! Don’t kill me for posting this photo! 🙂
One of the best parts of MOPS…the breakfast!!
There’s my dear sassy friend Joy! Hi Joy…you can’t kill me either! 🙂
It made me so happy to see it all come together.
Even if little Aaron stayed in the childcare for all of forty minutes.
Moses cried when we left Aaron…so sweet…but didn’t bat an eye when I left him in his classroom.
Go HERE to see if there is a MOPS near you. You need it. Believe me.
This weekend…I hope to get the quilty post up, finish up the robot shirts that some of you are waiting for, get ready for Moses’ party and some other things too. 🙂
Hope your Friday is awesome!!
