MC+KKMC+KK
in Austin Babies
I have a few questions, do any of y'all belong to a mops group? What do you enjoy/dislike about it? Anyone go to a south austin mops? And is it hard to get in, waiting list? Thanks y'all! :)

    I don't live in Austin anymore, but I'm involved in MOPS here and I like it.  I like that we have discussions and can encourage each other through parenting - the good and the bad.  I also like that they have fun speakers - we had a photographer come in and tell us how to take pictures of kids and we had a mom who is a major couponer come in and give us tips on saving (she's the extreme, but she had good ideas and websites).  The only thing I dislike is that V gets a little fussy toward the end since it extends into her nap time, so I have to scoot out a little early.  If they would end 15 minutes earlier, it would be perfect.  But really, that's a minor complaint.  :)  Ours did not have a waiting list but I'm not sure about the Austin groups.  Hope this helps!

    I was in a group at Westoak Woods (on Slaughter just east of Brodie).  It was a nice group of ladies.  There wasn't a waiting list there.  The friend I made in that group eventually moved to another group (First Evangelical something something?  FEFE?) - it was also down south.  That one seemed a little tougher to get into, she was wait listed but ended up getting in.

    Probably First EV Free.  It's a HUGE church, so it makes sense that they would have a waiting list.

    I think my friend helps run the EV Free one.  Or at least another one in South Austin.

     I am on the steering team here near Houston (leadership team).  I've really enjoyed it. 

    I don't have my kiddos in daycare/preschool/MDO so it's been a nice break for me, even if it is just 2 times a month.  I have enjoyed making other mom friends and helping each other through the good/bad/ugly of parenting.  The speakers have been fun and insightful and the food is always good.  Stick out tongue

    The only thing I haven't enjoyed is the crafts.  But I'm definitely overruled in that area.  I'm just not crafty.  So I sit and talk and sip coffee while the other people work on it.  So it works out.
