Great Mom's Walk
We had our Great Mom's Walk on Saturday April 4th at Boise Towne Square Mall. The weather was COLD that morning so it was great to walk in the warm mall. Thanks so much to everyone who made it out!!! Here are some pictures from the morning.
Spa Day
Our meeting on April 3rd was "Spa Day." Instead of seating at our usual tables, we sat at different stations. It was a great opportunity to chat with some different moms in our group.
First (as usual) we ate our brunch and chatted. Then the fun began at our stations:
Arbonne-mini-facials/makeovers
Mary Kay-Hand, foot, and lip treatments
"DIY Manicure"/Survey
Make your own chocolate body butter/Vendor tables
Finally, we had two massage therapists and drew names for a free 10 minute massage.

Hi,
For the past three years we have been part of Calvary Chapel Boise MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). I have made some great friends through this group.
This year we are doing a fundraiser called the Great Moms Walk. We will be walking on April 4th at Boise Town Square Mall with our families (babies, toddlers, strollers,and all).
We are asking for donations in any amount through http://www.firstgiving.com/ccboisemops09
We are raising funds to help with operating costs and for scholarships for our group.
Here's some more info about MOPS:
Being a mom of preschoolers can be a challenging time, in identity, marriage, finances and all other areas of life. Our MOPS group meets twice a month. We have a brunch, guest speaker, discussion time, craft, and most important: child care. We laugh, cry, and share about our struggles as a mom. It is also place where I can interact with other Christian moms.
You can learn more about MOPS at www.mops.org
Thanks for your support!
PS..here's the latest picture of the kids
