MOPS Retreat April 21-22

I'm excited to announce that our first ever MOPS overnight retreat will be happening this April 21-22! Check out some sneak peeks of our AirBnB in La Jolla (yes, that's a pool and a hot tub):

For $130, you can stay overnight both Saturday and Sunday (though most will only stay Saturday night) and the cost also includes most of the food. There are still some beds available so if you'd like to join the slumber party, let me know as soon as you can (sarahbutterfield@gmail.com)

If you can't commit to staying overnight, we still want to PARTY with you! There are some daytime options on Saturday and on Sunday. Join us for either, or both days! Would you fill out this brief survey and let me know when you would like to join us? This will make my planning easier :)
