Introducing the Question Of The Week

This year, let's start a Question Of The Week (QOTW) on our Facebook page where we would post a question directed to all fellow moms.

It is an opportunity to share insights, ideas, and tips and in the midst of it, get to know each other. For those who attended the last Oasis meeting, it is also a way to find bright spots.

This week, we won't have just one question but three of them - inspired from the same questions that our steering team answered here.

- What’s the best piece of advice you were given about motherhood?

- What are your favorite things to do in your spare time?

- What is your favorite way to be spoiled ?

Do you have any questions to suggest ? Have you ever wondered how other moms do things, what worked for them, what are their family favorites, etc ? Well, now it's your chance to ask. We would be more than pleased to have you post your question as our QOTW. Simply email us at campbellmops@gmail.com or message us on Facebook to let us know.
