First MOMS Meeting!
What a fun first meeting! We have lots of new faces this year, and started off with a "survivor mommy" challenge - can I just say that if the end of the world happens any time soon, I think a MOMS Meeting is the place to be for ultimate survival gear? ;)
And we made some journals with the attributes of God we'll be using throughout the year...
And, of course, there's always beautiful babies. ;)
Sorry it took me so long to get the post up from the first meeting. To make up for it, the first person to find October's secret word on the blog (pumpkin) and make a comment on the post will get a little surprise. ;)

Parenting...
...with love and logic. Thank you to Diana Huston's husband for giving us a taste of this parenting philosophy which allows natural consequences to teach our children. I admit that I used this a lot as a teacher, but it's harder to use with my own kids!! You can learn more about love and logic here, and I have a copy of the book Parenting With Love and Logic if anyone wants to borrow it.
There are so many parenting books out there. If you have a parenting book you'd recommend, leave a comment - I'm sure we have a vast selection of resources out there among our own MOMS!!
Dr. Kevin Leman has a book that follows love & logic pretty closely - Making Children Mind without Losing Yours. Dr. Leman has great practical tips and a good sense of humor, which helps when you're looking at discipline.
Anyone else? Leave a comment! :)

Easter Tea
One of my favorite spring MOMS meetings is always our Easter Tea. Delicious tea and snacks, a wonderful testimony from Lisa Fortney, and time to chat with other moms...it just doesn't get better than that! :)
