Activity Descriptions:
Below is a list of activities that you will typically find on our calendar. Each activity on our calendar has a member hosting it to which you can always direct your questions to, offer to bring something, or RSVP (we also RSVP through Evite for our activities).
Monthly Member Meeting & Social
During the first week of every month we have a member meeting to discuss upcoming events and other club functions. All members are welcome and are encouraged to come and participate. The general monthly meeting was established to hear guest speakers, to discuss new ideas, and to welcome new members or guests. This is a great time to make suggestions about activities (while we plan our calendar) such as; MOMS Night Out, monthly field trips, park days; offer to host an activity; and any other suggestions you may have for our club like service projects. Due to children being included, the meetings may get a little hectic at times, your patience and understanding with regard to this matter is greatly appreciated. We do try to have activities or children movies to help occupy their time.
MOMS Night Out
Once a month we hold a MNO! This is an activity specifically for moms (but children are always welcome at all activities including MNO). We have enjoyed our monthly MNO which activities such as; movies & dessert, dinner, lunch on a Saturday, games & appetizers at a members home, and many more!
Coffee Chat
Most of us moms can't live without our morning cup of coffee! Start your morning off right by joining a coffee chat play date and enjoy your freshly brewed coffee with other moms while the kids play.
Recipe Exchanges and Freezer Meals
Do you love cooking and tasting new recipes, or maybe you just don't have time to cook? Members of all skill levels are encouraged to come to these events. At Recipe Exchanges, each month we'll bring a dish to share that matches that month's theme. Past themes have included desserts, smoothies/shakes, side dishes, Mexican, Italian, and salads. Freezer Meal events stock your freezer with 5-10 crockpot freezer meals that everyone helps prepare.
Pasta & Pointers
This activity is held every few months with moms sharing tips, ideas, and info that they find helpful. Topics vary from cleaning to organizing to cake decorating and MORE! We also all bring an ingredient to make a delicious pasta to make and eat while we discuss the topic.
Lunch/Snack Bunch
With a number of great themes to choose from we've been able to hold a Lunch or Snack Bunch each month. This is the perfect way to get the little ones to eat lunch while you enjoy adult conversation. We've held these at members homes with themes such as; panini lunch, breakfast for lunch, and sack lunches. We have also held a number of our Lunch Bunches at a local kid friendly restaurants like Chick Fil-A or Burger King!
Book Club
As moms we rarely have much time to have adult conversation, so come join us as we discuss a book or a topic that is important to us as mothers. Don’t worry if you haven’t read a book since the day your first child was born, come and enjoy the conversation.
Story Time
Each month we try to take our children to the local library to participate in their story time. Story time often includes songs, crafts and sometimes even snacks!
Field Trips/Outings
Each month we try to schedule a field trip or special activity. We have visited a local fire station, farm, and pumpkin patch just in the last several months! Sometime these may require a moderate fee for participation. Again, these will be noted on the monthly calendar and described with specific directions to the location.
Messy Monkeys
This is your chance to let your kids indulge their love of all things messy! Each month we will get together for a messy activity and let the kids go wild. Make sure to dress them in something that you don't mind getting dirty.
Birthday Club
Want to celebrate your little ones birthday with MOMS Club friends but aren’t able to invite everyone over for a party? Every other month we will celebrate the birthdays of those boys and girls born during the last two months. If you love to bake, or know of a good bakery, please feel free to offer to bring some cupcakes!
Park Days
We meet at different parks throughout the area. Depending on the weather, we meet in the morning to beat the heat, or wait until it’s warmed up in the afternoon. In case of inclement weather, we have an alternate indoor meeting place.
For the Whole Family
Family Fun
We plan an activity that will be fun for the whole family. It encourages our spouses to get to know each other better, and gives us a chance to have fun as a family. We have done corn mazes, dinner out, and drive-in movies!
Holiday Parties
Each year we celebrate a number of holidays with mini-parties and big parties. Our Spring Party/Egg hunt was a lot of fun and held at a park and our recent Fall Family Party was a huge hit with costumes, games and more. Both parties have been a great success with the help of our moms!
