Happy Summer MoMs!
It’s always exciting when the start of the summer comes along and we dream of no schedule, late sleeps, 7500 meals a day (when did they grow that second stomach?), longer days and getting to soak up their childhood. We only get 18 summers with our kids if we are lucky and we are encouraged to cherish every moment. But motherhood is hard, raising good humans is hard. So yes, we only get 18 summers but sometimes they are so LOOONG. And then the guilt sets in that you are not cherishing them enough.
YOU are cherishing them enough. You are doing great. Not every adventure has to be a core memory. Trust me, the moments you least expect become the core memories. Don’t make yourself crazy trying to create every second of your childrens’ summer into an adventure, into a core memory, into a lifetime opportunity. You’ll make your self crazy and your kids.
Savor the summers, take time to just be. Not every moment has to be scheduled. Slow things down, let their imaginations run wild. Take time to just lay in the grass and look for cloud shapes, go on a bug hunt, go on a nature a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood. Just be…
We have some mamas who’s kids are hitting big milestones this year. Kindergarten graduation (don’t blink, before you know it they will be graduating high school!) Fifth grade and eighth grade moving up, and the dreaded high school graduation (sniff. I could cry thinking about it, and I still have 4 years!) Trade school graduation and college graduations. Congratulations to all the achievements!! No matter how big or how small, everything should be celebrated!
Celebrate yourselves MoMs! You made it through another school year almost unscathed. Now sit back and JUST BE…
All my love,
Ericka
Letter from our Vice President
Hello everyone,
I would like to thank everyone for the nomination of being your President for another year. I am really excited about this upcoming year and the plans we have to support our moms and to bring in new members.
As I am writing this I know that this is a very stressful time of year for moms. So many things happening in school and out of school . I know it is easier said than done but take a few minutes every day to take a breathe and realize that life is not perfect and our children only want us to be there to hug them and cheer them on.
All committees are open for the upcoming year. Look at the enclosed paperwork for all committees and see if there is a fit for you. The nominating committee is the only committee that already has a chairperson. Keep on eye out for the google form to be posted on Facebook to complete for positions. Please fill it out prior to the Installation dinner.
Installation dinner is June 10th at The Parlor House in West Sayville at 7pm. Adult socials are working hard to make this a fun time.
Can't wait to see you all at the Installation dinner.
Hugs,
Diana
President
