"Developing a mothering strategy is somewhat like playing a
game — and this year’s theme is appropriately game related. Have
fun being a mom! Playing games involves being bold and taking risks,
loving those in the game with us and being sensible while figuring out
what works and what doesn’t.
Just as in real-life, sometimes in games, unexpected, “chance”
events occur, abruptly changing our paths. We must regroup and
determine our next steps. Sometimes we follow the instructions of
“experts.” Sometimes we follow the advice of trusted friends.
Sometimes we decide our “house rules” work best for our family.
Teaming together with other moms is a great strategy. Relying on a
spouse or mentor can help us play more effectively. And, most of all,
developing a strong God-Sense is essential for mothering. Growing as a
mom through the analogy of game playing assures every mom gains
confidence in her abilities as a mom."
Come enjoy a cup of coffee and a scone and "play" your
way through the year as you discover your MomSense!
