Book Group This club meets once a month at a member's home to share thoughts about a book selected ahead of time by the hostess, or to just talk about what they've been reading lately. Beverages and snacks are provided to stimulate book discussion! Book & Cook Group Each month, we meet at a member's home to read a book with our children and cook something relating to the story. Examples include reading a book about lemonade, and then making lemonade, or reading a book about dirt and worms and making "Mud Pudding." Cooking Group Once a month, we meet at a member's home and bring a prepared dish to fit the chosen "theme." We each take a taste of each dish and vote for our favorite. The dish with the most votes is selected for the Recipe of the Month. We also bring copies of our recipe, so everyone goes home with another recipe to add to their collection. Past themes have been pies, cookie cook off, one pot wonders and kids' snacks. Couples' Night Out Every other month or so, we try to get together with our spouses in tow so that they can mingle and we can all get to know each other better. We have a lot of fun at these get-togethers, which have included Pizza Taste-offs, Euchre tournaments, and BBQs. Craft Group Once a month, we get together to work on various crafts at a members' home. The mommas get to work on their project while their kiddos play together. Family Day/Night Out These happen about every other month and gives mothers, fathers, and children an opportunity to mingle. In the past, we have enjoyed Tunes by the Tridge, a visit to the Chippewa Nature Center, participated in the Pumpkin Festival, attended a Loons game, and strolled through Dow Gardens' Christmas Walk. Kids' Craft Group We have a Kids' Craft Group meeting every other month to do a fun craft or learn about fun ways to experience music. We alternate craft and music groups each month, and sometimes combine the two if there is an especially complimentary craft to go along with a music theme, or vice versa. Lunch Bunch Another of our monthly activities, we get together either at a park or an indoor location with a play structure to eat lunch together and let the kids play. Of course, they don't eat much, they're too busy playing! ;) MOMS Night Out We do these once a month to remind our moms what it's like to socialize with adults. :) Music Group We meet every other month to sing, dance, appreciate music and learn about different instruments. For June, we combined Music and Craft group. We sang silly songs about how we love our daddies and made them some stylin' t-shirts! Open Activities These activities include field trips and outings to parks, local establishments, and community activities. Sunshine Group This wonderful club provides a flower for our moms on their birthdays and meals to our families who have recently welcomed home a new baby. Walking Group We meet weekly to walk away those post-baby problem areas. :) |
