"What MOPS has provided for me… is a welcome break; a chance to make new friends; the opportunity to know I'm not the only mom who goes through the struggles and joys of raising young children…"

"My children can't wait for Tuesday to come because it is MOPPETS day. They think that I just sit in the lounge and wait with the other moms, until it is time for MOPPETS to finish."
