My Kids Are Smiling
by Amy
Member, Powder Springs-S, GA

The laundry is piled high
So we went outside to play
And my kids are smiling.

My house is a mess
It is story time at the library today
And my kids are smiling.

Dust and dishes will have to wait
The animals at the zoo are
Entertaining us
And my kids are smiling.

I am not the housekeeper
I am a stay at home Mom
And my kids are smiling.

Ever feel like you are the only mother who stays at home? Your not alone!  We believe that staying at home to raise our children is a fulfilling full-time job! We believe that having children around is a natural part of being a mother.  The MOMS Club is a wonderful way to meet other at-home mothers who share your same interests and concerns. Our local chapter plans enriching activities for you and your children, during the day when you most need the support. We send out a monthly newsletter to keep you informed and connected as well as email reminder about upcoming activities.  You and your children can participate as much or as little as your schedule permits!

The MOMS Club has meetings with speakers, organizes family activities and outings for mothers and/or children, sponsors playgroups, new arrival groups and other activity groups, and performs uplifting service projects to help deserving children and families in our communities.

As an international organization, our goals and principles are:

• To provide a support group for mothers who choose to stay at home to raise their children
• To provide a forum for topics of interest to mothers
• To help children in the community
• To perform at least one service project yearly helping needy children
• That women must be free to choose their personal path to fulfillment
• That, for women who choose it, raising children is an important and fulfilling full-time job
• That a family's decision for a mother to stay at home to raise the children often involves considerable financial sacrifice
• That there is no one right way to raise children, but our members have a common concern in raising their children in a healthful way
