MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) is an international organization for all moms of infant to kindergarten age children that provides opportunities to meet other moms and make the journey of motherhood together. MOPS exists to equip, encourage, develop and provide moms with what they want and need most-a chance to learn from each other, celebrate motherhood, support and encourage each other, and laugh a lot.
At our meetings moms enjoy a chance to socialize with other moms both together in a large group and also in smaller discussion groups that allow you to get to know moms more closely. In other words, it’s like a playdate for moms! You can share experiences and know you are not alone by getting together with other moms who are going through the same things, all while your children are having their own awesome time with our loving Moppets Leaders.
What is the right way to mother? Can a mom trust her intuition? Or should she follow the advice of one of many parenting books? Into this fog of theory and philosophy we come out the other side with our MomSense: Bold, Loving, Sensible. Through this year in MOPS we hope to honestly assess our skills, embrace our mothering instincts and develop our own unique mothering style while we navigate through the dailies of mothering. There is more than just that one “right” way to mother. Embracing our unique mothering style helps us to see that we are the best mom for our children and we can have contentment, joy and confidence in our roles. Have FUN being a mom! In this “game” of life we are to be BOLD and take risks, LOVING to those that are in this life around us and SENSIBLE while figuring out what works for us and what doesn’t. Embrace the gift of MOTHERHOOD! 2 Timothy 1:7 God doesn’t want us to be shy with His gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.
At Cedarhome we will be meeting on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, from 9am to 11:30am, September – May. Childcare is available for your children ages Infancy through Kindergarten.
