Christmas Meeting Pictures

The room was cozy and decorated
to make us feel the warmth of Christmas!

A wonderful speaker Jan Jack, helped us all to remember that we need to take time to be with our kids this Christmas season... it's the best Christmas present we can give them.... and ultimately we are investing in our life-long relationships with them!
(my rendition of her words)

Here is a shot of just a few of our WONDERFUL mentor moms, doing what they LOVE... cuddling on the little ones so the moms can sit and relax for a morning!
Love you ladies... ALL of you!


Speaking of our loving Mentor Moms....
look at a few ways that they loved on us this Christmas meeting....

Oh, and if you haven't put your card holder up yet... DO IT!
Here's mine, just so you can see how great it looks holding some of my holiday cards!

Ho, Ho, Ho, You're Ready to Blow...

Don't miss our next MOPS meeting,
on Tuesday, December 14...

Jan Jack will be speaking about the holidays
and to keep our lid on!
(my words, not hers)

Card Holder Craft

Thank you, Stefanie for a wonderful craft!
You put so much effort into making this a craft we can use for all occasions!

I know I've already used mine for daily reminder cards
and paperwork to be displayed...


And now, it's all ready for Christmas...
I even got my first card and fits perfectly waiting for others to join!

Next Meeting...

... is this Tuesday, November 9th!

Come join us for food, fellowship, a baby parade and a beautiful craft!
You don't want to miss it.

See you Tuesday:)

Cookin' and Craftin'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mom Tip:

Countdown Chain
For any event you and your child can countdown
to the big day with a chain activity.

Ideas:
Birthday Countdown
Holiday Countdown
Reward Countdown

Let your imagination take control as you help your child have a tangible way
to countdown to an event that they are excited to experience!

Next Meeting, October 12

Don't forget to bring the dish of food you will be sharing...
because it's Recipe Exchange Day!

We will be enjoying taste tests of food items shared
and we will also be making recipe books to take home!

We look forward to seeing you there!
