Planet Garden Advocates Caring for Children as Top Priority

Top Priority by Patti Robinson
 
“If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do matters very much,” was Jackie Kennedy’s philosophy to encourage putting children first in the lives of parents. I totally validate caring for our children as top priority because what could be more important than the life of a child?
For Middle Georgia Moms of any age who would like to check out a group that offers real support for you in your efforts at being a mother, MOMS Club is a great choice.
MOMS Club of Griffin Thomaston Area is open to mothers in Spalding, Lamar, Upson and Pike counties and offers a set of nationwide principles that puts mothers with children as a top priority. The first open house in our area was held on Tuesday, Oct. 27th at Bluebird Market and was a great boost for our local moms. They enjoyed lemongrass hand massages with a delightful aroma and hot apple cider.
The next MOMS Club Open House event, if you missed the Thomaston Open House, will be at Life Springs Methodist Church in Meansville. You can find details about time and place online at http://www.momsclubofgtarea.com.
It has been a pleasure to meet and get to know the enthusiastic Phyllis Bryan, MOMS Club of Griffin Thomaston Area Founder and President, while working on the MOMS Club Open House Bluebird Market event. I’m so impressed at her willingness to serve our community and tireless energetic support of our local mothers. It is also encouraging for me to see young mothers who are involved in our community efforts to encourage curbside recycling. MOMS Club came out as volunteers to The Rock Ranch and spent the day painting tomatoes and cucumbers of Bob and Larry of Veggie Tales on children’s faces. They also gave out red and green Bob and Larry balloons and the line was long for all of this fun and energy given to children learning about “Growing Up Green.”
We are so fortunate to have this group for our moms who are striving to cope in a hurried world of fast food and lifestyles. MOMS Club Open House gave us a quiet moment to reflect while we were treated with a lemongrass hand therapy. It is so nice to sit down and just have a cup of cider in a cozy room with mothers who are all there to support each other in an abundant and flourishing manner.
Prevention states that those who live to be 100 have several things in common and one of the most important is a strong network of friends. MOMS Club is the place to make friends for our local mothers. My advice is find out more and be a part. Of all the busy things in our lives, being a mother and being supported in those efforts is just about one of the most valuable.  Your efforts as a mom are life-changing each day for you and your family, and it’s beneficial to have a support team. Supporting Moms is the top priority for MOMS Club.
