The Mother's Day Retreat was a Success!

For the past few weeks, I have been working with Michelle and the Assistant Organizers of Meetup Moms to put together a Mother's Day Luncheon. We wanted it to be a relaxing afternoon with yummy food, great conversation, and best of all... no kids! The theme of the event was "If Mama Ain't Happy..." and the AOs came up with beautiful table centerpieces and favors that focused on taking time for ourselves- something we usually don't do as busy moms! It was at El Parador and was a raging success! How can 3 hours go by so fast?!? We had about 35 moms attend, and all seemed to be having as much fun as I was. We read hilarious "dirty little secrets" (contributed anonymously, of course), drawing raffle prizes, and eating yummy Mexican food and strawberry Costco cake! I am proud of my chicas and how hard they all worked to make this event appear seamless and well-organized. You are the best!

You did a beautiful job decorating! Everyone looks so relaxed and thrilled to have a little time away from the kiddos. So wish I could have been there--DH is working all weekend to get ready for his 2 week (or longer) break to help me during my recovery.

It looks like everyone had a blast. Y'all are so thoughtful to have such a special celebration for Mother's Day. We miss all the wonderful Tucson mommas!!!!
