UPDATE: We just picked the two winners for this giveaway (at random) and we’ve sent emails to them so please check your inbox to see if you’re the lucky mama. If you didn’t win the tickets, we hope you’ll still join us for Girls Night Out and use the group discount mentioned below. (Call Rachel at 479-571-2719 to book tickets.) Can’t wait to see you there!
Get ready for THE Girls Night Out of the season! You’re officially invited to join us when we go to the Walton Arts Center to see Mamma Mia on Thursday, February 11, 2016. We’ve got a ticket discount plus a block of seats reserved so we can sit together. Want to come? We’d LOVE for you to be there. In fact, this week we’re giving away FOUR tickets to the show, so throw your name in the online hat to win them. (Two ladies will win 2 tickets each.)
BUT FIRST, WE EAT: The show starts at 7 p.m. but we’re hosting a pre-show Happy Hour starting at 5 p.m. across the street at the Hog Haus Brewing Company. (The upstairs room will be reserved for the ladies of nwaMotherlode!) Show up anytime between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to enjoy a few light appetizers, sodas or a glass of wine on us before we head over to the theater in time for the curtain to go up.
While we’re at Hog Haus, we’re also going to do a few drawings for fun gift cards from local mom-friendly businesses. (The gift cards will hook you up with some fun shopping at local boutiques, restaurant meals and even a pair of tickets for an upcoming show at Walton Arts Center.) Anyone at the pre-show Happy Hour can throw their name in the hat to win the gift cards and we’ll give them out that night.
ABOUT THE SHOW: A few years ago, one of my friends called and told me I had to go to this show with her because it’s so perfect for a Girls Night Out. (Guys love this show, too, but it’s more fun to see this one with other women because the story line revolves around three amazing girlfriends. And, of course, the star of the show is also a mama. It’s a love story but it’s also hilariously funny.)
I absolutely LOVED the show and was so glad my friend invited me. I laughed — hard. And the music is just so much fun. The show includes ABBA songs like “Take a Chance on Me,” “S.O.S.,” and “Souper Trouper.” It’s like a two-hour party, it’ll be really hard not to stand up in your seat and put your hands in the air when they start playing the song “Dancing Queen.” This musical has been called “the ultimate feel-good show” and people see it over and over again.

I love all the laughing that comes with a girls’ night!
laughing
A GNO is a great way to recharge and have time for yourself. All mamas know that a happy mama means a happy family and a GNO is the perfect way to help keep your sanity!
Fun!
GNO’s are always so refreshing. Helps remind me that I am my own person…….not just a mom, not just a sister, not just a wife. It’s important to reconnect with yourself!
Its always so fun to get the girls together and just laugh out loud! Its refreshing to get out and forget about all the pesky chores and enjoy some time with friends.
A girls night is a great break from the kiddos! 🙂
I love everything about a girl’s night … the laughs, the fun, the time away from my kids to recharge! It’s all great! And I would love to win this giveaway.
I love that I can just be my (mostly) carefree self without the responsibility of answering to one of my children’s needs/wants at the time. Their needs are being met by Grandma, Grandpa or Daddy. I get to be a little silly myself!
The best thing about girls night is time laughing and relaxing with besties! This would be an awesome GNO!
I’m a single father, which makes me a part time mom. Rather than girls night for me this would be about taking my daughter out for “date night.” Figured out that if she has amazing dates with dad, she will have higher expectations as a young woman some day.
Just getting away for the evening with special friends is what it is all about!!! And of course there will be lots of laughing going on!!!!
All the fun and laughs and some adult time away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday life of mom and wife duties.
No matter what it is we are doing, I just enjoy the company of my friends.
girl time is full of laughter smiles and drinks.
Love Girls Night Out!!! Enjoy treating my own mother and making memories!
I never get a girls night out! I’d love hi spend some time with my besties and get a much needed momma break. Laughing, wine and girlfriend chatter!!
I love spending time with my best gal pal, trading hilarious stories and offering a compassionate shoulder when needed.
A chance to unplug from mom duties!
February 1st is my birthday. This would be a perfect night to have fun with my girlfriend. Would love to win. Eeekkkk.
I am not sure I belong in this group. I am retired and 70yrs old. Most of my girlfriends are my age and don’t go out much,. I still like to have fun when we do get together. Not very often. I think this group is much younger then I, but I am a mother and grandmother. Are there any women my age that go to these GIRLS NIGHT OUT events?

The laughter is always the best part of girls night out! My oldest granddaughter and I love to do a girls night out date, and as she will be celebrating her 13th birthday this week, I know a Nena and Raine girls night out to Mama Mia would be a blast!
Love laughing and a timeout to recharge myself. Helps me be a better mama!!
I am an “old mama” and work with kids all day, so a Girl’s Night Out gives me that little break to be able to let my hair down and just laugh and not have to be serious. It refreshes the mind.
I love “girls nights out” with my daughters as we create the BEST memories!!!! (laughter for YEARS to come!!!) I did not really have that with my own mom….and I cherish those times with my 3 daughters!!!! 🙂
No kids allowed
Spending time with my best is always a good night!
It’s rare to get out without kids. Be so fun with a bunch of girls!
I love a Girls Night Out because it’s so fun to get away and sit and not have to worry about anyone but yourself for a night 😉
I think my daughter-in-law would love this.
Laughs and good stories. Just knowing that others are going through the same issues you are–someone that understands there is a challenge to work/life balance. Someone that understands about housework, laundry, kids, cooking, etc…all while holding down a 9-5!
Getting together with a friend or friends is the best because we can catch up and have fun for a night, just us! It’s reassuring and encouraging to get to be with other mamas and friends for an evening out and just enjoy myself and the company.
Getting together with friends to catch up and have fun together is the best! It helps me feel encouraged in all my roles in life.
I have not had a girl’s night in a very long time. Girl’s night is a great time to let loose, relax and laugh.
Would love a girl night out with my friends!!
I love to get together for lots of laughs.
I’m so pumped about a girls night out with my best friend/ sister is love to win tickets we need some fun, big girl time to get the giggles going and let our hair down! Pick me!!!!!
Mamma Mia is my favorite musical and i have great friends to share the experience with!! Can’t wait to go.
Laughing and having a good time!!
I just love the girl time!
I can honestly say i have never had a “Girls Night out and i am 55 years old. Would be great
Always love a good girl’s night out and leaving responsibility at home for the night!
It makes for a great mother daughter day out for my daughter now that we survived teenage hood and are friends
Getting a stress free and care free outing rejuvenates everything about me!
Laughing so hard the stress of the week goes away.
Realizing you are not that crazy and you are not alone!
GNO is always so refreshing. It’s nice to get away and be an adult sometimes!
Love taking a break and spending time with good friends.
Ladies night out gives me an opportunity to reconnect with great friends and recharge. What better way to reconnect than to see Mama Mia with my wonderful support system!
I, literally, can not remember my last girls night out. And I love a good musical!
Catching up and picking up right where we left off at
The laughter is the BEST part!!!!
I follow Twitter & Facebook. And I already am a newsletter subscriber!!
would love to take my mom who just finished chemo treatments and needs night out! She loves MAMA MIA . and she listens to the soundtrack often!!
It’s so great to return home fresh and rejuvenated!
I follow on Pinterest and Twitter too!
I need to spend time with my bestie.
A chance to be stress free and just “smell the roses”.
My favorite thing about girls night is getting out of the house away from kids and hubby, not having to cook, and being cooked for and waited on!!
