March Moms' Night Out


March 26 (Saturday), 2011
Renew Your Spirit (...and Mind...and Body)

As homeschooling mothers, we spend most of our time with our children -- something in which we all take delight. We sacrifice and act selflessly, which is great... most of the time. It can be all too easy to allow ourselves, our own persons, to slip off the radar completely. Then our husbands and children have a grumpy, burned-out Mom! No fun for anyone!

So come to a special night of refreshment and renewal just for us moms on Saturday, March 26, 2011, beginning at 5:30 PM at my house. Come prepared to share what has worked for you (and what hasn't!) to keep yourself healthy and to renew yourself as a homeschooling mother. Or just bring yourself ready to be filled up! Together we will share:

Fellowship
Dinner & refreshments
Exchange of "Take Care of Mom" ideas
Make some homemade spa items to take home (and sample if we want while we concoct them!)

If you have any questions or input please call or email Michelle.

There will be tons of learning opportunities for us to include learning more about the Dusty Old Dust when we first arrive, and each child will receive a learning journal to help guide them through the museum. If you plan to attend, please contact Jenn so we can get a headcount and let the museum staff know how many to expect! Below you will find the contact information for the museum.
