So. Much. Fun.
Last night I hosted a Favorite Things Party with my MOPS
group. It was a success and I’ll definitely
be doing another one sometime. When you
get a group of about 20 women together you just never know what’s going to go
down…but it couldn’t have been more perfect!
I’m so lucky to have met Becca in our group. She was huge part in pulling it all together
and brainstorming. She’s a breath of
fresh air in chaos and someone who appreciates my humor and antics. Gotta hold on to this gem!
Everyone brought either an appetizer or dessert and I made a
delicious punch (recipe courtesy of my friend Kelly)! The punch was a huge hit, so here’s the
recipe:
1- 2
L of Sprite
1 can of frozen OJ
1- 46oz. can of Pineapple Juice
Top it off with some orange or
rainbow sherbert
Dump it all in together and enjoy! Yep, that easy! J
Everyone brought 3 of the same favorite thing. Then before we started, everyone wrote their
name on three slips of paper. Those
names went in a bowl, shuffled and then passed around. Everyone grabbed three names who their
favorite things would go out to AFTER they shared it in front of the
group. So, everyone came with 3 favorite
things of their own and went home with 3 new favorite things. We set a price limit of no more than $10-15
per item.
It was great to get to know everyone a little better by
hearing a little about themselves and why they selected their favorite
thing. Then we all waited in anticipation
to see who got each magnificent gift after they shared.
Everything was wonderful!
