I had a great time this weekend, although it was a lot busier than I prefer my weekends to be!
Friday, DadOf3 and the kids drove me to another MOPS mom's house and we carpooled together with another gal to a lake house where we met with 14 other women to plan our upcoming year in MOPS. We stayed overnight at the lake house and had lots of time to bond with the rest of the MOPS leaders for the new year.
MOPS is a wonderful organization for moms. Its official mission is this: MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.
This wonderful organization is for every mother of a pre-schooler. It provides a low-key, conversation-filled morning where pre-schoolers are watched by loving childcare workers. That of course means that each mother gets a break, gets time to eat breakfast without helping anybody else, and gets to congregate with other mothers in the same season of life.
This will be my 5th year in MOPS. I wish I would have found it sooner! I look forward to being on the leadership team for our branch of MOPS. There are MOPS organizations all over the world. If you are interested click here for more information for finding a MOPS near you!

I am soooooo with you on MOPS. We had our leadership retreat this past weekend as well!
I would recommend it to any mom out there and after we moved to a new state almost 2 years ago, after I was born and raised in the same Smalltown where all my family and friends were, MOPS completely saved me. My closest friends are from MOPS and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I have heard about the group before. I am going to have to check into it more. Thanks for the link.
