Michelle Duggar

On Wednesday I attended my first MOPS Meeting of NWA and Michelle Duggar was the guest speaker. I was so lucky to hear her speak!! I had heard of MOPS before (Mothers of Preschoolers) but never knew where they met or anything about them. I was so impressed and inspired to go back. Ana Maria was in school and my mom kept Kathryn at home for me while I went.
Michelle's topic to speak about was Building Godly Character in our children. She was such a motivating speaker and had so many great stories to tell about her and her 19 children but also of how she is raising them to be children of God. I took so much home from the meeting and am trying it with my 2 1/2 year old...it can be tough at times, real tough! She seemed to make it all seem so easy!!
I'm looking forward to going back next month when the topic will be about childrens learning styles :)


The camera crew was there from the show and we all had to fill out a waiver to be in the room with them in case they use it for a future episode.

Michelle mingled before the meeting started and took pictures with everyone...I forgot my camera at home!!

The five oldest girls played the violin for us before Michelle spoke :)

She is an inspiring woman, isn't she?! I'm glad that God used her to encourage you!

I used to go to MOPS at FBC in Springdale! A great group of young ladies. One of the girls in my group is named Katie. She has a newborn (2mos) son.

Enjoy it!

Who was taking care of Josie with Michelle and the older girls at this event?

The oldest Duggar girls have grown up into lovely young women. It's nice to see them getting a little bit more "modern." Was Josie at the meeting, too? She's not a preschooler, but someday!
