The Twin Panel is re-scheduled from our February meeting snow day!

Get the scoop on what it’s like to be a twin straight from the

source! Our March meeting will feature a panel made up of sets of

multiples to answer all those pressing questions you may have.

  • Is it important to have separate birthday cakes?
  • Is it better to be in the same classroom or separate?
  • What was it really like to be dressed the same all those years?

This group of “experienced” twins will share all the things they liked about being twins and the

things they wish had been different. We hope you’ll join us Tuesday,

April 16th at 7 PM for this very informative meeting.

What a better time to “feel the heat” than Spring Break! Join us Tuesday, April 2nd at 7 PM for Moms’ Night Out at Chez Olga – 1441 Wealthy St. SE, Grand Rapids. From their website: “So you want to ‘feel the heat’ of the Caribbean? Taste the Delicious flair of Creole flavors of The Chez Olga, a premier Creole & Caribbean restaurant.

palm tree The fresh, natural, colorful and preservative free dishes of The Chez Olga are ready when you are  ready to feel the heat. You are always welcome to enjoy the food options that will blow you away and make you feel like you are taking a trip around the world.”

So maybe you can’t run away from home, enjoy the warmth, and take a trip to an exotic loca- tion, but your taste buds can. Come hang out with us that night for some unique food and as always a fun night with the girls.

Join us this Tuesday, March 19th at 7pm to get great tips on

getting and staying organized around the house with Judy Warmington,

owner of Woman Time Management and The Organization Specialists.

You will learn to divide and conquer time management and

organizational problems by chewing on 9 “bites” of an elephant.

Tuesday, October 2nd – We’ll be getting together at Porto Bello’s (41 Washington St., Grand Haven) at 7 PM.  Any moms from the GR area wanting to car pool out there can plan on riding with me (I have room for 6 more).  Last time we met up at Toys R Us on Alpine and took I-96 out to Grand Haven together.  If moms from the Hudsonville area wanted to catch us in Allendale/Coopersville we could plan a stop there too.  Please contact Lori Ott (lleeott@hotmail.com) if you’d like to carpool.

Any moms are welcome any time to join us any time for Moms’ Night Out. The more the merrier! We love meeting new faces and I guarantee that the evenings are always full of fun and laughter. We don’t need to know you’re coming, just show up, but it’s always nice to know how big of a table to get so if you’re certain you’ll be there either drop a note on Facebook or email Lori Ott (lleeott@hotmail.com)

If you have any great ideas or suggestions for a Moms’ Night Out location, drop us a note on Facebook or email us and let us know.
