Get your questions ready!

Greetings Moms!

Hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy this gorgeous weather we've had this week. 

So, next week's meetings (March 31/April 1) will be our "Mom-to-Mom" spring chat with ladies from our congregation who have children ranging in age from late elementary through college.  Just like our "Mom-to-Mom" meetings back in October, this will be an informal type of meeting where we will ask questions about a variety of topics ranging from, but not limited to, discipline methods, potty training, sibling rivalry, school, relationships, etc.

We will have two moms each day offer their past and current experiences of motherhood to us.  These women have already gone through the infant/preschool/elementary stages with their children, so what better way to learn from them about what worked or didn't work, as well as hearing the experiences they're going through now with their children to perhaps learn how we can prepare as our children get older. 

I would love to get questions from y'all in advance for next week's meetings so that I can pass them along to our mom "experts" so they can get a better idea of what kinds of topics we're looking to discuss. 

Example questions....
"Did/do you experience sibling rivalry with your kids, and, if so, how have you handled it?"
"Do you have any discipline methods that seemed to work well for your kids?"
"What advice, if any, would you tell us moms that you wished someone had told you during the first few years of raising your kids?"

In case y'all are interested, below are the women of our congregation who will be joining us in our chat.
"Mom" speakers:
Thursday:
Beverly Varga
Cindy Greer

Friday:
Diane Bouchard (spoke at Thursday's meeting back in October)
Leigh James (spoke at Thursday's meeting back in October)

**I need your questions by Monday, March 28, to allow time for our moms to prepare.**

Thank you for your participation!
