Scrapbooking Club
Small groups of moms interested in scrapbooking get together to share in this hugely popular activity, socialize, and have fun. Moms meet in their homes at times that are convenient for the group. Occasional expert demonstrations are organized at the convenience of the participating members.

Photography Club
NEW to MOTW in Spring 2007! Meet other moms who enjoy photographing their kids (and other things). "Gallery gatherings" the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m.

Message Board
Members have access to a comprehensive Message Board. Some of the discussion topics include: childcare, preschools, schools; service recommendations; area events; new babies; kids activities and classes; and classifieds.

Child-Focused Activities

Weekday Playgroups
Moms and kids both enjoy meeting for weekly fun, free play time and social time in our playgroups. We have groups with newborns through preschool age and older. Some groups meet in homes, some at parks or other locations and some meet at a combination of both. Meeting days, times and locations are decided by individual groups, as well as the number of members in each group. Approximately half of our membership attends a playgroup, and new ones are forming all the time!

New members work with our playgroup coordinators to choose a group for their age range or create a new group.

Group Outings
Once or twice a month, the entire membership is invited to a group "outing". Some of our recent outings included:

• Children's Museums
• Local Parks
• Fire Station Tour
• Easter Egg Hunts
• Strawberry Picking
• Houston Zoo

Family-Focused Activities

Family Pool Party
Each summer, MOTW organizes a family pool party to enable all members and their spouses to socialize and cool off.

Couples Party
Once or twice a year, a MOTW member opens her house to fellow members and their spouses for an adult evening of socializing.
