Gretchen was very gracious in hosting "Potty Time's" playdate today. She served the lucky moms and kiddos homemade pumpkin muffins, apple pie and apple cider. It was DELICIOUS!!! A great time was had by all. Take a look...

October Meeting Recap

We were so blessed to have Pam Olsen as our speaker yesterday. She is an expert on the Love and Logic method of raising children. She had so much insight and great advice for us moms. She shared with us the recipe for successful motherhood: raising children that are respectful, responsible and fun to be around. We need to train choices and teach our children to self-solve.
It's as easy as that! ; )
For more advice or time with Pam, she can be reached at 414.379.0699 or pamolsen@wi.rr.com

MOPS Meeting Tuesday, October 13th @ 9:15am

Hi MOPS moms!

Welcome to October and fall here in Wisconsin! It's been kind of a dreary week, but we're so excited for this coming Tuesday and our October MOPS meeting at Spring Creek Church! We've got a great speaker lined up to talk through a very important issue for all moms: discipline. Pam Olsen, who teaches the Love & Logic parenting method, will be leading us through a workshop of the basics of Love & Logic. She'll be speaking for about an hour, and then we'll have some time for questions and input from each of you...so bring those parenting dilemmas and let's see how she can help with some fresh ideas! As always, we'll be giving away some great prizes - including a massage and a facial from this month's sponsor - Hand and Stone Salon and Spa (www.handandstone.com). So come early, check your kids into their classrooms, and make sure you're ready to go in Room 152/153 by 9:15 to be eligible for these and other great prizes!

Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Because we are better together...
Amy Gruetzmacher & Tracy Alexanian, co-coordinators
