THE HOME EXPERIENCE

Hello Ladies,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend =) I'm very excited to tell you that Tara Gallegos and I have decided to host a Home Experience group in our homes. Some of you ladies might know a little about these groups because one of the authors, Marilyn Weiher, came and spoke at a Celebration dinner for the MOMS Ministry a few years ago. This is a little summary about the Home Experience book taken from a card that Marilyn gave to me about the book.

"All five of yor senses will be engaged as Devi and Marilyn reveal principles and practices that have been tested in real life settings. Is your life fast and furious? Too busy to make dinner or spend time with your husband? Balancing family, work, and all of life's demands can certainly turn your home into a cave of confusion. Learn how to bring order into that hurried life of yours when you read THE HOME EXPERIENCE. From relationship skills and personality styles to orgnization and hospitality, journey alongside passionate mentors as they teach you how to put value and purpose into your home. Take the time to slow down this year and experience...THE HOME EXPERIENCE."

Tara and I invite you for a little "orientation" of this Home Experience group next week and my house to see if you would like experience THE HOME EXPERIENCE!! You are welcome to come around 7:30pm at my house (5465 Towbridge Dr.) on Wednesday, June 3rd, and we will give you a rough outline of what the group will be doing =) We figured that these nights will be a great way to focus on God's design for our home and our roles as wives and mothers while enjoying time together and tasting a few yummy treats! Hope everyone can make it! We look forward to seeing you then.

God Bless,
Bridget and Tara

"Your home can be loving and peaceful. As you begin walking out THE HOME EXPERIENCE priciples, you will witness restored relationships and find order where there was once chaos. Truly, the dignity and sanctity of your home will be restored."- Devi Titus

Playdate at Kara's

Belated Happy Mother's Day to all!

We have a new mommy in the playgroup. Please welcome Mary (and baby in belly) and Mark!

Kids are growing up so fast. It somehow feels like we have a new set of kids, but they are the same kids just bigger/more active/more talkative and more fun.

Mommies talked about breastfeeding (that's an endless topic, lol), having more than one child, Tara running the Cleveland (half) marathon, Ezra not catching the swine flu, how to keep house nice and clean (with kids?)and a hundred and one other topics that just pop out when ladies get together.

Thanks to our wonderful host Kara for opening her house and serving wonderful food.

Here are some pictures and see you gals at the next play date.

Mommies' (and Daddy) Night Out

Bridget and Cristina

Allison organized a night out of watching a dance show at the Cleveland Theater.
It was a great opportunity for mommies to have a night out sprinkled with a little bit of art.

It was an amazing show of how beautiful the body is. A contorted display of what the human body is capable (and what this mommy body is not). Some parts were very modern like random kids let out in the playground. Others were so synced that the dancers looked like one organic being.

This was such a nice break that I hope mommies get more chance to go out and do this.
