Eliza in a box!

Today was my first mom's group meeting. I have been looking forward to it since I put up the flyers a little over a week ago. There were eight mom's in attendance- so nine altogether counting me. Two member are moms-to-be! I was very pleased with the turnout and Eliza had a great time playing with her new freinds. We are going to have meetings every Monday at the same time. I am bummed that I brought my camera and completely forgot to take pictures. TYPICAL DANIELLE MOVE!

I finished my book (The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes) today. Eliza took two long naps and I held her the entire time. SHH it gave me a good excuse to sit and read. The book was very good. It moved along quickly- which I like because I have zero patience. Our book club meeting is on July 21st! Usually we end of discussing everything but the book- but it is always good time. This is the first book I have read by this author but now I am hoping to pick up a few more of her titles at the library.

Eliza is supposed to start up swim class again tomorrow. However, she is having a bit of a feminine problem and I am currently waiting for the doctor to call me back. Waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I get so annoyed when I have to speak to that DAMN answering service. I go into panic mode as soon as I think something is wrong with little E. I go into this bad place in my head where I just start to worry about everything. My big fear is another UTI. I get all teary just thinking about our first trip down that horrific road and do not want to go through it again. So depending on what the doctor says I might be making the hour trip into the office tomorrow.

Here are some pics of E playing in her car seat box!

Getting My Summer To Do List DID!

One of the things on my summer to do list was to start a moms group. I have put the wheels in motion for a group in my development. I am actually super stoked about this project. What have I done so far? I designed a flyer, printed them out, and hung them on all the doors and mailboxes in my development. I would say I posted about 35 flyers. Another mom helped me- we were the mini stroller brigade (except she was much cooler than me with her super cute Bugaboo) armed with flyers and tape. It was kinda fun putting them. I have heard from two moms in the development already so I am pleased. That means the group already has 5 members. WooHoo

Here is a pic of my flyer. Too bad it rained and this one got all smeary.

and here is one of E just because it makes me smile

Does anyone attend a mommy group? If so what types of things do you do at your meetings?
