Slight Schedule Change

Happy Monday! There have been some changes made to our MOMS schedule. This Thursday, October 7th, we will be having Bow Making 101. I will teach everyone how to make Holiday bows for gifts, wreaths, & your Christmas tree. We will also, time permitting, learn to make a basic hair bow.

You will need to bring ribbon for the holiday bows. Ribbon that has wired edges is the easiest to use to make bows. If you are wanting a big bow for your Christmas tree I recommend getting 2.5" wide & 100 feet of ribbon. Hobby Lobby already has there Christmas ribbon out and they have a great selection to choose from. If you want a bow with 2 colors, we can make those as well. I will provide floral wire.

I will also provide the grosgrain ribbon for hair bow making. If you have a hot glue gun please bring it with you on Thursday. I will provide all other materials needed for this project.

If you have any questions please respond here or call or email me.

October 14th we will be having our Cooking 101 class with Cherie Barrett and then we should be back to our regular schedule.

Thanks so much!!!

A Whole New Way of Doing Things

Hello Ladies!!! I am so excited to say that MOMS will be starting back this Thursday, September 2nd. We will start at 8:30 am with finger foods and fellowship. The food will be provided for the first day. We are mixing things up a little bit this first semester of MOMS. I can't wait to fill you in on all the great things we will be doing, so make plans to be there this Thursday. Please invite a friend to come with you. We are always excited for new moms to join. We will not be doing a book study this fall, so even if you can't come this first week still make plans to attend.

Can't wait to see you Thursday :)

Use it or Lose it

With spring break and no MOMS this Thursday, you have a wonderful chance to get all caught up on the For Women Only study, if you've gotten behind! Don't miss this chance! Hope you're having a wonderful week and can't wait for discussion next week:)

For Women Only

Wow! Where has the time gone?! I missed posting the last couple weeks of the study for being out of town the first week and for plum forgetting the second... so sorry! I'll update that info. soon even though it is behind.

So, we started the For Women Only (by Shaunti Feldhahn) study last week and I was bummed to have to leave from discussion early... it was getting good! :) Seriously, I have done the study before and enjoyed it immensely and am really looking forward to getting new perspectives on the men in my life, primarily my hubby, and learning how to love him in the way that really means something to him!

Last week the focus was on respect. Respect is the primary way that your man will feel love from you. And his definition of respect is probably different from yours. So, ask him what makes him feel respected and what makes him feel disrespected. And when he gives you his answers, don't scoff because it doesn't mean the same for you or seems silly. You'd want him to really listen to you, so give him the same attention and care you'd hope for from him. Put him first this week in everything, pray for new ideas on showing him respect, and keep all your words to him and about him this week on the positive side! Ready, set, go!

Week 2 of discussion coming up!
