Is it too much to ask for as beautiful a month as October? Here's hoping! At our Nov.1st meeting we debuted our *Slideshow* of Fall Family Fun photos and announcements while we indulged in a delicious breakfast. We got started on taking table pictures for our yearly directory and began collecting goodies for our service project for our men in uniform! If you didn't receive an email with the suggested items to donate, email mopsowatonna@gmail.com and we'll get you one!
Our guest speakers Holly Guenther and Kim Kubicek were from among our own ranks at MOPS, and they shared some fantastic advice on balance in our lives as moms. From balancing work and home to balancing your bank account, these women's experience and perspective were truly treasures to be remembered and put into practice!
On weekly schedules and family meetings:
"If it's not written in, don't expect it to happen." -Kim
On routine and flexibility:
"I would like to have an Alice." -Holly
On volunteering: "Are you doing it because you should do it or because you want to do it? Don't say yes right away; pray about it and talk to your spouse." -Kim
"No can be a complete sentence." -Holly
Kim shared her family's marble system, message wall, medical binders, and meal plan organization, and Holly encouraged us to think about how our kids are going to turn out later in life and the kind of person they are going to be, highlighting Proverbs 22:6 as her inspiration. Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight, Holly and Kim!
