Let's Play!

Think for a moment about your favorite memories as a kid. Inevitably some of them involve play or a special activity with someone you love. I remember turning off all the lights in the living room and crawling around with my dad in anticipation of him grabbing my arm and saying "ah ha!" at which point I would scream and then laugh until my belly hurt. Or making a tent in my sisters room while they were away at college and when they came home we would all three sleep under it. Or looking in the mirror with my mom and laughing when she made faces. (She can do some pretty funny ones!) More important than the activity was the bonding time that was made doing these things.

This week at MOPS we are talking about playing with your kids and hope we can give you some new ideas on how to spend special time together.

What's your favorite way to play with your kids?

She's got personality...

Ever wondered why it doesn't bother your husband to leave his socks on the floor? Or why your sister is so bossy? Or how your four year old can carry on a conversation with a stranger like they are old friends...and you get nervous saying hi to your neighbors? All those things may have to do with their personalities and it's your personality that helps shape who you are as a mom. Join us tomorrow as we talk about this tricky, yet entertaining subject!

Welcome to our new blog!

Hello everyone! We decided to start this blog in an effort to create a central place for announcements, article, links, jokes, recipes, and whatever else we feel like you guys might need. (Hey, everyone can use a good joke once in a while, right?) This won't take the place of our regular newsletter, but will add to it. However, to save on stamps, money and trees, we have decided to keep the paper newsletters to once a quarter. In between those, articles and what nots will be posted here. So please, check back often!
