The Johnson County Chapter of Mothers and More holds chapter meetings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church at 11100 College Blvd. in Overland Park, KS.  (Mothers and More is not religiously affiliated).  We invite all mothers to come check us out at any meeting.

When planning our chapter meetings, we seek to plan meetings that are beneficial and of interest to our moms group members. These meetings are often led by members or guest speakers who have expertise in the areas being addressed. Each year twelve of our chapter meetings will focus on supporting mom in the following categories:

• Personal Identity
• Career Path/Paid/Volunteer Work
• Personal Relationships
• Financial Literacy

_All of us are interested in making 2012 a healthier year. Some of us want to work on weight or exercise, others of us are just interested in getting more vegetables into our children's daily diet. Let's get together to discuss some of the plans we each have for making this year better and possibly learn a few new tricks.

_When life and work seem stressful and busy, a home in a constant state of calm can act as an important sanctuary. We will discuss why it is so difficult for some of us to get organized, How to get the family on board with organizations, creating "zones" in each room of the house, as well as creating a family information "hub" for all the homework, bills and other info in the home. Patty Hoyt is a reformed clutter junkie. Patty specializes in working with adults and children with ADHD and other special needs. She has been organizing professionally for almost 3 years.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to be more self sufficient?

Let’s all get together to share some of our knowledge around this topic. Homesteading can be as simple as making your own jam to raising some chickens. Tonight we will have our own “experts” tell us about this newly fashionable movement to become more eco friendly and more self sufficient. We will also calculate our own carbon footprints.

Please bring any info you have or just your general knowledge.

Tonight we will be hosting Dr. Lisa Rusinko from Behavioral Pathways. Behavioral Pathways is an Overland Park-based company dedicated to helping parents and caregivers understand their child’s challenging behavior and providing specific strategies to increase desirable behavior and decrease unwanted behavior.
