The Season of Motherhood-Welcome to The Moms Group!

Thanks for visiting our site! Please check out the link along the right side to learn more about our group and see if its a good fit for you.

We'd love to have you at our last formal meeting of the year, Thursday May 3rd at 9AM. Our speaker will be on geneology: how you can trace your past ancestors, learn from them, and document for future generations.

We are now registering moms for our 2012-2013 year. Please contact Co-Director for next year, Katie Fulton at 840-8937 or katiefulton@hotmail.com for more information or for a registration form to be sent to you.

Please look through some of the posts below to see a few of the events The Moms Group has had this year.

This group has been a blessing to so many of us when the season of Motherhood has been overwhelming at times. These moms lift you up when you need it, support you unconditionally, and can understand like no one but a mother can.

Mommy Daughter Event

This past Sunday, the Mommies and Daughters of TMG had an afternoon tea. Each girl brought her favorite doll, wore "tea appropriate" attire, ate tea cakes and petite sandwiches, painted pottery, made jewelry, and danced. It was about as sweet as can be!

Food Fest 2011

The first and hopefully annual "Food Fest" was held last meeting. It was so much fun! Everyone brought their favorite gadget/trick, recipe, and dish! We feasted until it was hard to breath (at least for me) and then the group made an apple crisp to take home.

All of the recipes were compiled (thanks Stacy) and we all got a copy of what we tasted. Next year we are going to bring take home dishes so supper will already be done!

First Meeting of the Year

Thank you ladies for such a great first meeting! It was wonderful to see some new faces and returning ones as well.

Our meeting consisted of the usual first meeting announcements, registration and planning for fall. Lots of fellowship, delicious food and catching up with one another.

Our next meeting is Sept. 15 and is a FOOD Fest so put on your chef hats! Let’s help each other gather some new ideas and inspiration as we cook for our families. Bring a favorite dish for everyone to sample at the meeting. Please send the recipe to Stacy (stacyandjohn@gmail.com). She will compile them and send them back out to everyone. Please, also bring any cooking and meal preparation tips or “can’t live without” kitchen gadgets to share with the group. We will also prepare a yummy apple crisp for you to take home to either bake that day or freeze for later. Please bring a cutting board and knife to cut your apples. It will be a busy meeting but lots of fun and everyone should go away with some usable ideas and inspiration!

Toy Story 3 Family Event

This past Saturday, we had a wonderful family event! It was movie, pizza, games, crafts, and family night with the theme of Toy Story 3! It was so much fun and Cara and her crew outdid themselves- as always!

The kids had such a blast and it was fun to be able to hang with the parents, watch the movie together, and enjoy each other's company!
