What an amazing day!!! Thank you to everyone who made it possible!
We had so many volunteers and the girls got a ton of new back to school clothes. Garbage bags full.
They got new shoes, new jewelry, and they were able to get new make up as well.
They even had a make up tutorial.
With all the make up accessories they needed to try things out!
We had girls their own age speaking wisdom into their life.
It was an incredible day!

August Update:
AFFIRMATIONS = positive statements that help speak hope into our lives and help overcome negative thoughts! Something the precious girls at Vista Maria can surely use probably as well as ourselves right!
What a blessing it was to help bring just a little glimmer of hope and love to them today with Chicktime Detroit!
They had fun creating their cups while listening to some of their favorite tunes too! #GodsLove #tyChicktimeladies #sharingyourheartsofLOVE
August Update:
Our first Chicktime event was a great success!
Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as we gave them backpacks filled with school supplies, decorated composition books, had a water balloon fight, and raced across the field brought so much joy to our group.
We can’t wait for next months event!
Chicktime Dothan is proud to announce that our chapter is growing!! Former Chicktime Birmingham Leader, Macey Starling will be founding our second Dothan chapter, Chicktime Dothan South, along with her co-leader, Kendall Jones!

July Update
Corrina Green engaged the girls this month with her love of party planning. Our station leaders were busy showing the girls a variety of party planning tactics. Corrina and team of Payton, Emma and Kate showed us how to decorate cupcakes and use fondant. Icing cupcakes is always a great activity for the girls and who doesn’t love cake at a party! Cheryl along with Katy and Dorothy provided all the ingredients for a party snack bag along with making bookmarks. Stephanie, Megan and Leanna played party games and painted nails. The girls really enjoyed these party planning activities on such a hot summer day. Thank you to all our volunteers who came out to help.
July Update:
It’s funny… we keep planning summer activities that involve the outdoors but God keeps watering his plants on Chicktime Day and making us change our plans!
We were looking forward to a gardening field trip today but with 
⛈thunderstorms⛈ looming, we decided to stay indoors but we still turned our thumbs green!
We painted 
🌺flower pots🌺 and planted pretty flowers in them.
Ms. Kirstin taught us about being 
🌱rooted in faith🌱 and how important it is that we stay connect to God’s… Word as it will help us grow fruit that reflects Jesus.
Of course, we had to cap the afternoon with yummy cupcakes! We had a special visit from some of our Birmingham sisters today as well!
We are beyond blessed to be able to serve such an incredible organization, the Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries, and we can’t wait for Chicktime August!!! Chicktime Birmingham
July Update:
Our Summer festival was simply….beautiful!
God showed up in a big, big way.
The kids smiled and laughed so much. A good time was had by all!
.
Blessed and thankful That God always provides for Chicktime and His babies!
These beautiful children need someone to believe in them. Today we told an oldest boy of a sibling group of 3 that when he grew up he could come back and lead activities like this to love and encourage other children. You could tell he understood the love and hope that could bring and he became our all day helper! It’s as simple as that to make a difference in a child’s life.
July Update:
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our Fun and Fitness day a success for the girls.
Lisa & Allison Dibble were our event leaders and did an amazing job. Thank you to Glenda for the amazing Zumba workout and Becky Solis for the relaxing Yoga.
The girls then decorated water bottles to help them to remember to drink lots of water for their health. They did a great job and were very grateful. Thank you again to our wonderful volunteers too! You each bring so much joy to the girls and they had a fabulous time. Thanks to HEB for all the goodies, too!
Blessings to all!
July Update:
We had a successful Chicktime New Braunfels kickoff today at SJRC New Braunfels, thanks to our fearless leader, Deborah Boesch Smith, all the wonderful volunteers and staff as well! What a blessing to get to know some of the young moms who are working hard at being the best they can be for their kids! Moms painted memories with their little one’s hand and footprints and kids got to do their own painting, followed by a healthy snack and visiting! Thank you to everyone who showed up – we are looking forward to many more opportunities to support and encourage these sweet girls.
July Update:
We sure have been missing our regular Chicktime workshops with the Grace House girls!
We have been busy collecting lots of goodies for the girls the past couple of months, building our leadership team, and preparing for August workshop!
We decided to head down to south this month to spend some time with our Dothan sisters and we sure had a blast!

It’s amazing how spending time doing simple things like this can make such a difference!
Nothing better that a Chicktime Saturday !
Listening to the word of God and crafting 
😇… Ms. Glynda you rock and thank you for everything you taught us
July Update:
There was so much going on tonight that we missed out on getting two of our beloved volunteers, Cheryl Allan and Stacy Carter Smith , in the picture 
😢
Stacy pampered the women with fresh hairstyles and the kiddos had a blast keeping us on our toes!!
Thank you to everyone that contributed to the living room project.
The residents love the bright and cheerful decore, a stocked bookshelf and a comfortable place to sit.
July Update:
Pam lead the way this month for crazy fun games with the girls in the gym. We laughed so hard as the girls ran races with cotton balls clinging to their noses with vaseline. Pam encouraged the girls with examples of great men and women who have changed history because of their perseverance. At the end of our games the winners got prizes but those who endured until the end won special medals! It was a fun way to illustrate the point of not giving up. Of course, like every other time, our ladies out did themselves baking wonderful treats and snacks. We all had a great time!
In addition to our Ice Cream Social we will be having a fashion show and a back to school shopping event in which the girls at Elks Aidmore can choose clothing that has been donated…(thank you)!!
It’s going to be a great one so don’t miss out!
July Update:
What an amazing day!
We played cards….
Made friendship bracelets and angle bracelets….and just hung out.
The girls really enjoyed having us there and were opening up to us. It was great spending time getting to know them better….and they asked our two favorite questions~
1- “Can you stay longer?”
2- When are you coming back?’
We are so thankful we get to spend time encouraging them!
Our Bash is going to have lots of water activities….water balloons, water hockey and such!
It’s going to be a WET and WILD time! So dress appropriately!
July Update:
Our July workshop was a dream come true!
Volunteers and more volunteers came out~
And glue guns and ribbon and flowers were out in true fashion!
And personal dream catchers were made!
Lots of fun and laughs made for a beautiful time together!
And our bond with the girls continues to grow…
And what’s a workshop without food…
We hope you will join us next month.
The girls need US!
Chicktime will have someone painting faces and balloon twisting for Cornerstone and we will be providing outdoor games. We could sure use your help! Please join us!!

July Update:
Our July workshop last night was a little different than our normal workshops! Most of the families were away for the holiday so one beautiful 6 month baby boy got our full attention. It would of been easy to walk away and not stay, but the reason Chicktime Washington shows up every month is to do what we got to do last night… give unconditional love to the families that come to My Sister’s Place. We feel honored to be part of a place that seeks to end domestic violence and empower survivors to live healthy, independent lives free from violence and abuse. 1 in 4 women experience domestic violence by severe physical abuse. 15 million children are exposed to domestic violence each year. We will be back next month and the next month and the month after that! We hope you will join us!
June Update:
Beautiful once again!
Thank you to the Sister Consuelo and Sister Conchessa who worked at St PJs many year many years ago—but not a 1000 years ago as one of the littles guessed 
—for sharing with us their time and love.
Many many thanks to Jan and Jamie for a beautiful tea party experience for the girls (and volunteers!)
June Update
What a great experience this month at Chicktime. We had three fun and fabulous activities. Thank you Cora for leading the workshop called My Amazing Self. Here we set the stage for each girl to picture herself as a successful grown woman and what would she say to the girls at New Life when she came back to bring her message. Each girl crafted her message and walked up on stage to deliver a powerful statement that engaged everyone in the room. We mixed in a little creativity with Mindy’s butterfly box station. The girls really enjoyed decorating butterfly shaped boxes with glitter, pom poms and other crafty accessories. Finally, always a favorite is make your own ice cream and decorating cookies led by Carolyn. The ice cream always turns out delicious when you make it from scratch. We decorated butterfly cookies with blue berries and strawberries. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who came to spend the day with the girls at New Life.
June Update:
Thank you Kristen Wilbern for bringing your energy, love and creativity to us last night! And of course a big thank you to our faithful Chicktime volunteers! I love serving with you each month.
Please take a moment to pray for our local domestic abuse shelter and the residents staying there. Pray for their needs to be met, jobs to be gotten and their prayers to be answered. Pray for women staying there to lift each other up and to keep moving forward even when it seems too hard.

June Update:
Carolyn lead our June workshop with an inspirational message. She shared her own life journey while challenging the girls to set goals to reach their dreams. They received it well, and I believe have been motivated to work hard for the gifts and talents that God has given them to be developed so that they will shine with the beauty of their Creator while satisfying the desires of their own hearts. They also enjoyed great eats and asked for seconds! Afterward, we played games and everyone won prizes. It was so much fun.
We are so grateful to have the opportunity to spend time with the girls. Often they will pull one of us aside to ask for prayer and we are delighted to do so. One of the girls said to me this Saturday, “Do you know why I like Chicktime? It’s not just because of the food, but because y’all have given me a whole new outlook on life! “ This was music to my ears! It is so worth it all!
