Dethroning the Queen

Thanks to everyone who helped out by returning their baby bottles!  Your donations will make a great and positive impact!

What a great speaker Alicia Sheppard was!  She discussed 3 areas in which we can work on unity as women; her main points dealt with :

1) Conflict: can result in division instead of unity.  She stated that gossping is 'demonic' and of the enemy. 
2) Cliques: staying within our comfort zones 'safe zone' our friends, can prevent us from interacting with others. 
3)  Competition: it can be harmful to compare ourselves to other women/mothers.  We may feel inadequate.  Who said we had to be the best? 

Thanks to the Trillion table for hosting!  The Heart table will be hosting at our last meeting on May 3rd.  We have 1 more meeting left!


You are invited to attend a 'Women's Tea' on May 5th at 11: 30am at Laveen Baptist Church.  Charge is $5 per ticket.  No childcare provided.

Spa Day for MOPS moms!

What a day!  Moms were treated to a wonderful and relaxing morning!  Moms were treated to facials, make-up application advice, eye-brow waxing, a relaxation station, nail station and a yummy food station. 


We were so blessed to find some wonderful moms who volunteered their services to offer our moms a day of pampering and relaxation.  Thank you so much to everyone who helped on this very special day!  Spa day allows our moms to have some very needed fun time with other mommy friends, and some time to focus on ourselves!  We were ready to tackle another day of motherhood thanks to Spa day!


Thanks for having joined us on this priceless day!
