Happy Love Month Gals!
February is the month of love. Self love is described as the act of practicing accepting ourselves, setting firm boundaries, and nurturing your own physical and mental well being, rather than relying on external validation. I think this is a great way to spend this month.
Practicing self care and self love. Let’s get a boost of confidence and self efficacy and enable healthy relations with those around us. We do not need to rely on other to tell us we are okay. We should be practicing that within ourselves. You are a good mother, you are loving your children the best way you can.
We do not need to compare ourselves to the fake posts on social media. Not one person is posting the real stuff on their social media, only the stuff that will bring a positive reaction for themselves.
Take this month the practice some me time. Even if it just 10 minutes a day at first and build up your time each week, until you get to an hour. Then see where is goes from there.
You can practice some self love with a meeting of your favorite moms on Tuesday, or some laughs are always expected at Michelle K’s game nights! We are always trying different things so if you have any adult social ideas, workshop ideas, and suggestions, please let a committee member know. We are looking forward to elections coming up in May, if you know of someone who would be great in a position, let Marty know by sending your email to motcnominations@gmail.com.
Our annual Fran Sawicki Fundraising dinner will be April 14, 2026. We are so excited to be donating to Ronald McDonald House at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. We are collecting donations from local businesses, and ask that members pair up to make buddy baskets, or they can do one for themselves. No donation is too big or too small. If you have any new unused items at home that you think would be good for a raffle item, please bring it to any of the next few meetings. All donations are requested by March 31.
Spend time this week to meditate, get a massage, sit quietly without someone calling you name or needing you (my kids wonder why I sit in the car for 10-15 minutes after work before I come in the house!)
How will you practice some self love this month?

Letter from our Vice President
Hello everyone,
I know this has been a crazy new year. I love winter and snow ❄️ but this year so far is a lot even for me. I am hoping the Groundhog doesn't see his shadow February 2nd.
February is heart month. It is very important moms, to take care of yourself. I understand life, can be stressful but always, remember how important you are. I know it will feel as if the children were just out of school and now they will be out for a week again. Just remember we are all here if you need 5 minutes to vent. Sometimes that is all you need to refresh yourself.
There is quite a few things scheduled this month. Children's social February 8th ( Superbowl Sunday), Michelle Kesner house February 20th and many of you going to Chinese restaurants for Lunar New Year.
Hope to see you at the Galatine general meeting February 10th, 2026.
Keep warm.
Happy Valentine Day
Black History month
Presidents Day
