Were your Burning Questions answered today? Mine sure were, but that may have to do with the amazing women surrounding me at today's MOPS meeting.
A special Thank You to the Emerald table for a great variety pack of food. That fresh pineapple stirred a discussion on the desire for a shopping trip.
Next meeting..... Thursday, May 6th, and the Mentor Moms are taking care of the entire meeting. We are CRAZY excited because they have been there done that and know what mothers of Preschoolers can appreciate... (maybe even more than all the kids down for a nap and the kitchen floor has already been cleaned, ooh ooh, by your husband, and the right way! Ha!!)
Upcoming Events…
Wednesdays, MOM Time Wednesday at 6:30-7:50 at Casey's home. Childcare is provided at the Church.

Styles That Flatter 04-01
What an insightful meeting we shared on faith sharing, female style and figure with specialist Kerry Damiano. She offered us all a bit more knowledge on our some of our fruit figured bodies. Check out those slide show pictures!
A special Thank You to the Gold table for a "Golden" selection of food. A new mom would surely be sold on MOPS after that display alone!
Next meeting.....
Thursday, April 15th, the Emerald table is in charge of food. Please contact Rachel Roland orKari Fumusa for more details.
Keep in mind a collection will be taken for an End of Year present for our very kind MOPPETs workers.
Want to know what is in store for our next meeting? (in addition to some Christian company conversing over quality cuisine while our curious children are completely occupied?) Well you will simply have to be there to find out!... and we are looking forward to seeing you too!
Steering...
Say, do you know of any mom who you think would be a great fit for Steering? Well, perhaps you should tell her. Sometimes she may simply need hear it from someone else before considering. Steering team offers a rewarding, faith renewing environment where you can foster friendships and grow in personal faith while serving others.

MOPS Swap
The MOPS Swap was a huge success and...with no injuries!
With about 15 MOPS Moms and all of their stuff, we had a full house of items.
The hot items seemed to be two pack and plays, a gorgeous bedding set, child size table and chairs, some classy clothing from our own very stylish moms closets, kids toys, shoes and attire (some with the tags still on!).. that wasn't all of it! This event showed God's providence multiple times as the items that ladies had on their everlasting "things needed list" just seemed to show up ~ for FREE!
Looking forward to our play date this coming Thursday at 9:30am Trailside.

A delightful relaxing meeting was experienced by all today! So sorry to have missed you if you were not able to make it, or rather so sorry for you that you missed out!
From Chocolate Dipped strawberries, to Paraffin Dipped hands... we sure did dip into something wonderful today. Already looking forward to SPA Day next year! Thank you all of the ladies who put so much effort into a banner day!
Speaking of effort, we had some sensational food provided by the Bronze table. The best way to describe such a spread would be a beautiful variety pack of pleasure! MMmmmmmM!

Let's SWAP on March 18th
Get ready and save your spot for our first ever MOPS SWAP! What is a MOPS SWAP you ask? Well, it's basically a chance to trade some of your stuff for someone else's stuff. Here's how it will work.
1. Bring your items to Laveen Baptist Church on Wednesday, March 17th between 8:30-9:00pm. You'll set up your items and be given 1 ticket for each item. EVERYTHING is worth 1 ticket whether it's a child's t-shirt, a swing, a woman's coat, or a television. You'll use your tickets to "purchase" other people's items the next day.
2. The swap will run from 9:30-11:00 on Thursday, the 18th. So bring your tickets and exchange them for other people's cool stuff. We will not have childcare, but the playground will be open.
3. If you wish to take any of your non-swapped items home come collect them at 11am otherwise we will bag them up and donate them to a local charity.
So if you've got things to swap (and really who doesn't?), sign up by e-mailing us at laveenmops@yahoo.com or contacting Nicole Lane (see your directory). We need to have at least 10 moms signed up by March 5th to go forward with the SWAP so don't delay!

Coffee Talk
Our February 18th MOPS meeting got off to a delicious start thanks to the awesome breakfast provided by the Sapphire table! Women were literally seen fighting over the last few sticky buns....(That Gold table needs some help). The wonderful MOPS mommies enjoyed wracking their brains for fun Barbie facts, discussion time, and learning very important things: like what you would do with a million dollars and only one day to spend it! Mentor Mom Casey Peterson shared some insight and tips on how to deal with tantrums and toddler-aggression. Nicole led us in a very fun Mommy-Jeopardy game, with such categories as "Movies and Popcorn", "Bible Babes", and "Oh Mama!"....cheating was kept to a minimum. After an early lead, Team 3 brought home the victory!
Our verse for this meeting was Proverbs 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
Upcoming Events/Announcements:
Next Thursday, February 25th is another MOPS Parkdate at Trailside Park at 9:30.
Start going through your stuff and get ready for the MOPS Swap on Thursday, March 18th. Contact Nicole Lane for more information nrlane5@yahoo.com
If you are interested in serving on the leadership team next year as a discussion group leader or part of the steering team, please let someone in current leadership know or contact Jill Fenner at jillinaz@cox.net
Our next meeting is Thursday, March 4th hosted by the Emerald table. Join us for a little relaxation and de-stressing as we have a mini spa day. Hope to see you there.
