Alright ladies! Our last Speed Dating for moms eve

Alright ladies! Our last Speed Dating for moms event was such a success, we’re ready to do it again…now that it’s not spring break! 😂 Be sure to register ahead and any returning mommas receive a 10% discount on their ticket! Remember space is limited!👉swipe through to see photos from last month!

Speed Dating for Mom Friends is just what it sounds like. An event for mamas of all stripes to get matched up with their next new BFF!

With so many new families moving into this area, LWP Owner Katie Dunn is hosting an event to help you meet some new momma besties, while also just giving us all a chance to have a great night out!

WHEN IS THIS EVENT HAPPENING?

Tuesday, April 5th - 5:30pm - 8:30pm

WHAT WILL THE EVENT BE LIKE?

If you haven’t been to a speed dating event, this will be our own spin on it for friendships.

You’ll be seated at tables, sitting across from another mom. Each “date” will give you 5 minutes to connect one-on-one. This gives you time to introduce yourself and play a little Q&A game. At the end of the time, one mom will move over one seat and the process starts again.

At the end of the night, you’ll leave meeting at least 12 new moms!

CAN I COME ALONE?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

We developed this event specifically for moms who want to come to events, but don’t want to feel like the “odd mom out.” So that means it will be fairly structured and won’t leave much downtime which can feel awkward if you came on your own.

If you have ever complained that you don’t have any mom friends, this is for you.

If you want to meet other moms who want support and friendship, this is for you.

If you sometimes feel anxious about putting yourself out there, this is for you.

We hope this event will be an opportunity to really connect with other moms in a welcoming environment. We want you to leave feeling filled up and excited to continue developing friendships with these women.

GO TO LITTLEWOODENPENGUIN.COM for more details!

REGISTER YOUR TEAMS TODAY FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 17th @ 6:30 PM

It's our 2nd Annual Shamrock Relay! Last year was so much fun, I can't wait to see what happens this time!

Once again Little Wooden Penguin is teaming up with the Celina Runners Club for our very BEER MILE SHAMROCK STYLE - beer-mile team relay or individual event.

What's a beer mile, a great question!

It's a run that consists of four laps (.25 each / 1 mile total), kicked off by the drinking of a 12oz beer GREEN BEER!

1. Teams line up, the horn sounds. The race begins with the drinking of the first beer. The beer must be consumed before the first lap begins.

2. The first leg will run to Malone and back, where their second leg is waiting. The beer is drunk, then leg 2 can go, and so on.

3. Team categories are:

• RUNNER/DRINKERS

• RUNNERS + NON-DRINKERS

• INDIVIDUALS

Any combo works as long as you finish the 4 laps and 4 beers. (2-8 people / team) And we will give out awards based on your category.

4. Register before the event on Wednesday for $20/ Team or individual. LWP will supply your (4) GREEN BEERS for the run. Register on-site that day for $25/team or individual.

5. Registration starts at 5:00pm

6. The race kicks off at 6:30pm

• Drink Beer #1 - Run to Malone and back
• Next team member drinks Beer #2 - Next lap and back
• Next team member drinks Beer #3 - Next lap and back
• Next team member drinks Beer #4 - Finish LAST LAP!
7. Awards will be given to the winners of each category, best costume, and don't forget bragging rights!
8. Must be 21 to participate
9. Competitors who vomit before they finish must complete a penalty lap! :)

Disclaimer: Celina Runners Club and Little Wooden Penguin are not encouraging irresponsible or dangerous behavior. Don't try a beer run if you're underage, or if you're not fit for it. If you hurt yourself or others or property, we are not responsible, so don't be an idiot. :)

Donate what you can, share this post, and thank yo

Donate what you can, share this post, and thank you for letting me take a break from my regularly scheduled posting to do what I can to support the people of Ukraine and keep that MFing bully in check!

What's happening to the people of Ukraine right now is unimaginable, and I know it can feel like it's impossible to make a difference from so far away, but the images coming out of Ukraine; Fathers hugging their children, then sending them across the border, people taking cover in subway stations, the bombings and attacks on civilians, but also the strength of the people taking up arms to protect their own country, are both devastating and inspiring, and for me, sitting back and watching just isn't enough. So I'm sharing the resources I found that can allow us to help, along with a website that lists them, which is being updated with new info as it's available.

IF YOU WANT TO DONATE MEDICAL SUPPLIES:

United Help Ukraine: Donations will go toward emergency medical aid and humanitarian relief to those on the front lines.

Sunflower of Peace: Aims to provide first-aid backpacks to paramedics and doctors on the front lines. Each backpack contains enough tactical first-aid supplies for five to ten people.

Revived Soldiers Ukraine: Provides medical aid to Ukrainian soldiers.

TO HELP CHILDREN AFFECTED BY THE WAR:
Voices of Children: Provides psychological and psychosocial support to Ukrainian children affected by armed conflict.

TO SUPPORT JOURNALISTS IN UKRAINE:
The Kyiv Independent: You can support Ukraine’s English-language media outlet through GoFundMe or via Patreon.

ADDITIONAL WAYS TO HELP - DONATE TO:
• Nova Ukraine’s Heart2Heart initiative, which assembles care packages for people in Ukraine.

• International Committee of the Red Cross, will provide humanitarian relief to Ukrainians affected by the conflict.

• Army SOS, provides food and other support directly to Ukrainian troops.

• CARE’s Ukraine Crisis Fund, aims to provide food, water, hygiene kits, and more to Ukrainians, especially women and girls.

• International Medical Corps, which will deploy mobile medical teams to provide emergency and primary health services.
