June: Taking Care of YOU

Moms, we are the nurturers, the care givers, the do-everything-for-everyone-else-ers. It's all too easy to sometimes forget to take care of the person who matters most: YOU!

Our discussion topic for June is Self-Nurturing. We'll talk about all the ways we struggle to and tips on how to stay physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.

Our meeting will be:

Saturday, June 1st.


at

Whole Foods Market Cafe
300 Bergen Town Center

I thought it would be fun to do a "Healthy Recipe Swap", while we're in the spirit! Print out a few copies of your favorite healthy recipe to share. You can do your ingredient shopping right at Whole Foods!



What ways do you nurture yourself? What are your favorite tips for getting some "you" time?


Can't wait to see you there!

May: Husbands

Our Next Meeting is only two weeks away! The topic for this month, "Husbands", was chosen by Meadow Tallakson (thanks!). Here are a couuple articles she recommends, along with some comments, in order to get us thinking about the topic

Why You Should Love Your Husband Faults and All  | Parents Magazine

"I think it was a good wake-up call for me in realizing that I have an amazing, faithful husband who may not get everything right but really tries his best for his family. It was an "a-ha" moment for me, although it may not strike others like it did me. I think my biggest challenge is gratitude (not just for my husband but for many things), and this definitely slapped me in the face with a big dose of it." - Meadow

This month we'll be meeting at the Montclair Farmer's Market! The Market happens at the Walnut st. Train Station in Montclair and we are hoping to find a nice spot at a picnic table or on the grass (hopefully the weather cooperates!) We encourage you to come early and take a look around at the market or the many local shops and cafes. Earlier is better in terms of parking too. I'll try to provide more detailed information as we get closer to the day. For now, take some time to read the articles, and don't forget to bring a photo of your husband!

See you there!

Thank You!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Caffe Bene in Pallisades Park. Those brunch trays looked AMAZING.

It was wonderful to see everyone and to find out what's been going on in people's lives. Now that we have a name and a site we can get down to the good stuff :)

Our next meeting will be Saturday May 4th, in Montclair and we'll be talking about: Husbands! 

Stay tuned for details!
