I have a wonderful group of ladies in my MOPS group.

I wish I had pushed myself to join our local MOPS chapter earlier because this past year, in itself, has been wonderful growing as a mom and wife alongside these amazing women.

Our MOPS chapter meets every alternate week. So the week we don’t meet as a unit, we try to make it a point to meet up as a group and do something fun together.

Celebrate the holidays with a stress-free lunch date with friends 

With Christmas right around the corner, we decided to meet at one of the mom’s homes to have a small Christmas celebration and put together goodie bags for an outreach program a missionary from church was hosting for the children in a nearby, underprivileged neighborhood.

Not wanting to slave over the stove considering there were several other errands I had to run prior to the get-together, I decided to call our local Zoes Kitchen and have them cater for the same. For a while I dabbled between choosing a Girls Night In package and a Games Day Goodies package but the catering expert encouraged me to cave in to my love for kebabs and quickly helped me make the decision.

Grilled potato salad.

Looking at the clean platters at the end, assured me that I had made the right choice.

The food was delicious and the generous portions more than enough to serve the 9 moms present, two toddlers and my family of 5. (Yes, there was no way I could take deliciousness from Zoes for a party without leaving some for Hubs and the kids back home. We LOVE Zoes!)Celebrate the holidays with a stress-free lunch date with friends {#ZoesCaters}- MommySnippets.com #Sponsored (32)

And while assembling the bags with treats for the kids, the ladies agreed we had to do a lunch date at the restaurant after the holidays, in the new year!
