Christmas Handprint and Footprint Wreaths - December 19, 2012

 

Everyone loved making a handprint/footprint wreath with their little ones. These make a great keepsake!  We used canvases and painted each child's foot or hand.  Then we placed his handprint or footprint around in a circle to form a wreath shape.  Next we used his thumb to make the berries. We added the name and date to each canvas along with some festive ribbon. What a fun meeting!

MOPS - Favorite Things Gift Exchange 2012

This is one of our favorite meetings that we all look forward to each year! We each bring a favorite dish to share and a favorite thing.  This "thing" is something that makes our lives easier, happier, etc.  Some examples this year were candles, soaps, Clinique's chubby stick, the Read Aloud Handbook, a crock pot, Downy Wrinkler Releaser and more!

 

One of the best things about MOPs meetings is that you have the opportunity to fellowship with other moms.  We have various backgrounds, children of varying ages (although all have a preschooler), and different life experiences. Yet when we come together, we can always find something to talk about such as having babies, potty training, husbands, school issues, religious beliefs, coupons, where to go to the doctor, etc. If you have a question, someone at your table probably has an answer!
