Hey beautiful mamas! Whether you’re knee-deep in laundry or juggling carpools and prayer requests, there’s something sacred about gathering with other women who get it. Mom life is messy, miraculous, and sometimes downright hilarious—and that’s exactly why we need each other. So let’s talk about how to turn your next mom meetup into a soul-refreshing, joy-sparking celebration of faith and friendship. Here are ideas to get you started:

“Bloom Where You’re Planted” Garden Party

Theme Verse: “They will be like a well-watered garden.” – Isaiah 58:11

PURPOSE: Celebrate growth in every season of motherhood—whether flourishing or feeling stuck. This gathering encourages moms to reflect on how God is working in their lives right now.
