Happy holidays MoMs!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have had a very, very busy weekend and I’m do glad to be reflecting on the last year with you wonderful ladies. I am so appreciative to all of you. I have enjoyed every event and meeting that has been planned by the members of this club.
My new year resolution is to try to attend more events and maybe start something new.
Speaking of which, the new year brings new opportunities to get involved. You get out what you put in, and I encourage all of you to try something new. Help on one of the committees, help at an event, or suggest and head up an event.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! Many blessings in the news year!

Letter from our Vice President
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Of course anyone who knows me knows the sweet potato with marshmallows is my favorite dish.
I know this is a stressful time for many people, but especially moms. It doesn't matter if are a stay at home mom or working mom the holidays can put us in a talespin. As I was thinking what to write for this double newsletter I started to think about when I was younger. My parents always bought a real tree and it was not put up until Christmas eve after I went to bed for Santa to put the presents under. As moms even back then I think a lot of pressure was on moms for a perfect Christmas. As children get older they ask for particular things and we go crazy looking for the item driving ourselves crazy. And making sure no one has more presents than their sister or brother. (CVS is always good for last minute items.)And why do we do that? Because we want to see our little ones faces when they open up their presents. What we forget is that our children, want to see our faces when we open the present from they got for us at the school fair or the gift they bought when they went to the store with us. I think we forget that children don't want a perfect Christmas they want a loving, fun day. With laughter and spending time with us.
Will we ever change probably not. But moms we do need to take care of ourselves. You are very important. Going out for coffee or tea by yourself or getting nails done. Getting a facial or haircut. Sometimes we need me time. Don't ever feel guilty. I know it is easier said then done but try.
Everyone have a great Holiday season.
Hugs,
Diana
President
