So I have to apologize about the blog being so far behind.  All I can say is life happened and I unfortunately have not managed to find the time to keep up on our blog. :(  Thankfully though MOMS Club is still going and we've still been having our monthly meetings and all our playdates and would love to have new moms join us! Things are finally settling down a little bit for me and I will be able to make more of an effort to keep this updated. :)

Exciting stuff going on for our May Meeting!!

If you haven't been to sure about coming to check out our MOMS Club, now is the time! Since our May meeting is right before Mother's Day we are having a special early celebration and would love to have you join us!! 

We are very excited to have Vicki from Kindermusik coming to do a special presentation/demonstration with the kiddos.  "With more than 25 years experience in early childhood development, Kindermusik is the world's most trusted name in musical learning. Music stimulates the brain, forging neural pathways in all domains of learning:  cognitive, emotional, social and physical. Your child's entire brain is involved when he or she participates in music and movement activities. Our teachers at Great Northwest Music have not only been trained and licensed by Kindermusik, but also have degrees in Early Childhood Education, making them the most ideal teachers for the young child."

We will also be holding a "Pampered Momma" drawing where one newbie/visitor and one current member will be going home with a pampering prize, and we will have snacks available for everyone. 

Contact us today for more info! We look forward to meeting you soon!
