Some of our teen moms were invited to spend a day away from their everyday routines to relax, unwind, laugh, eat, talk, and Paint with a Slushie Twist. Each one left with a smile on her face, her newfound creative work and a self care package in her hands.
Lovie's Pearls awarded 5 scholarships this year! That's a total of $5,000 towards higher education for our teen moms. We are so proud of them as they continue to strive for SUCCESS!!!
Our hole 'n one grand prize was $10,000 and our golfers were ready to take a swing at it! A special thanks to Dominique Williams for being our official witness, and 7th Made Studio (J McNair) for capturing the competition!
Self-Care Day was a success! Our moms got a chance to get away, relax, eat and converse, laugh, reflect, ask questions, eat some more, and hang out with each other, bond and have a good time. Some great conversations relating to healthy mindsets, establishing goals, being successful and making dreams come true.
