Are you feeling out of order?

by Kris on August 27, 2010

OK. We all crave it – some sense of ORDER. To you, maybe order looks like…

A spotless kitchen sink and made beds and the smell of dinner (homemade from scratch, of course) oozing from the oven at 5p sharp.

When everyone has their teeth brushed and only 5 min late getting to the car as opposed to the usual 10.

Color-coded, categorized lists posted around the house on dry-erase boards…ready to be conquered.

Your stacks of junk are simply where they are supposed to be.

I don’t know how order looks in your casa, but we all have a vision of it. And, when we feel like we have achieved it, all seems RIGHT in the world…or at least our lil corner of it.

As we ramp back up into the schedules of fall, what better way to say farewell to summer than to try to figure out how to achieve that shining beacon of light we call “order”.

Come to MIC on Thursday 9/2 and join some other loyal soldiers in the war against chaos…other mommies! Get to know some moms in the trenches with you and hopefully you’ll leave encouraged and ready for the next day’s battle.

Grab some friends and bring them with you – strength in numbers, girls. We love you and missed you…and cant wait to see your faces and hug your necks.

WHEN and WHERE, PRAYTELL?
Thursday, September 2nd from 7-9p at WestPointe@RockPointe Church

WHAT DO I BRING?
Yourself and other mommies – ready to chill. Oh, and come ready for snacks because we’ll have munchies, too

We want to know what you REALLY THINK…

by admin on August 2, 2010

At MIC, we want to know what mommies really think—-we mean REALLY THINK. Take a minute and tell us (anonymously – to ensure that “REALLY THINK” part) about what its like for you to be a mommy. And, share this survey with as many moms as you can. We’ll share some of the fun findings at MICs this fall.

As always…remember, you are NOT alone. Moms need moms.

See you Sept 2nd at WestPointe for the FIRST MIC of the school year!

Hawaiian shirts have a time/place

July 19, 2010

Yep. I said it. There’s a time/place for (almost) everything…even Hawaiian shirts. Seriously, is it summertime? Is there is a beach within a 5 mile radius? Then OK, we’ll allow Hawaiian shirts. The LOUDER the better! But – girls – I think we can all agree that the time for the Hawaiian shirt is limited…and [...]

RAISING DAUGHTERS. OH MY.

July 6, 2010

OK…so I know this is a little discriminatory if you don’t have GIRLS, but truly, I read this and felt like we all needed to hear it. So, if you have girls – great. If you don’t – read it anyway. Pass it on if you’d like. Taken from Bringing Up Girls by Dr. James [...]

GET THE WORD OUT.

June 17, 2010

As we dive into summer w/our lil people, I’m struck by the frustration of how seldomly I feel like I’m TEACHING and GUIDING right now. Patience can run thin as we re-learn how to have our precious lil rugrats w/us 24/7. SO, when I came across this, I thought of all my fellow mommies trekking [...]

LOOKY. A BOOKY.

June 8, 2010

I’m sweating as I type this…in the A/C. Crazy hot out there, girls. And when I think of that I-need-more-time-in-the-A/C feeling, I’m reminded immediately of another of the GREAT ideas Kym Carter gave us in May – read a book with your family. Sounds simple, right? And for some of you who have super-readers, it [...]

JUST ASK.

May 24, 2010

It’s creepin’ up, girls – summertime! Yay/uh oh – right? Well, if you made it to our MIC in May w/Kym Carter, you might remember one of the best tips she gave: “Ask your kids to list 3 or 4 things that THEY want to do this summer.” Odds are good their lists won’t include [...]

Must. Have. Plan.

April 26, 2010

Girls…we MUST have a plan for what is COMING…it’s coming, you know. S-U-M-M-E-R. {And NO by “plan” I don’t mean finding every single available VBS program and enrolling your rugrats–er, sweet lil kiddos.} If there ever was a time we needed to stick together, it’s NOW. So, get a sitter, order a pizza, and grab [...]
