Welcome Back to WBCC MOPS!

Welcome back! We're excited about our new team, new theme and new faces!!
The MOPS International theme for the year is, Momology: The Art and Science of Mothering and we're excited to explore this together with you!

MOPS International explains our theme this way on their website:
Mothering is both art and science. It combines all of who we are to shape healthy, resilient kids. Mothering is so complex it requires both sides of our brain – not to mention our hands and feet, eyes and ears, mouth and (sniff, sniff) unfortunately, sometimes even our noses!

There's the scientific side of mothering where we develop a hypothesis based on certain principles, test that hypothesis in real-time, consider the results and decide what parts worked and what parts didn't. We keep refining our hypotheses until we find what works for us.

Intertwined with the scientific, mothering requires an artistry that shades with our personality, colors with our unique gifts, and blends past and current experiences.

So, we welcome you to our group if you're here for the first time and if you're returning, we're SO glad you're back!!
