Autumn Luminarias

At our last MOPS meeting we made these autumn luminaries. Shelly always finds the greatest crafts for us! She found this idea on Martha Stewart's website.

Here are my luminaries, all lit up!

Did you take pictures of your luminaries? Send them to Christa at nwcmops@gmail.com, and I'll post them on our blog!

Moppets

Did you realize that our childcare programs is called "Moppets"? I finally realized this after a few month of attending MOPS!

Our Moppets Coordinator, Judy, is amazing! Not only does she coordinate all our volunteers for our much needed childcare, but she also makes sure each room has snacks and a cute craft! Judy does double-duty. She also serves as our Mentor Mom Coordinator.

After seeing her big sister bring home lots of art activities from preschool, my little one was thrilled to bring home HER own craft from Moppets!  Thank you, Judy, for all your hard work!

Judy is always looking for more craft ideas for little ones. If you have any ideas, please email her at henning97(at)gmail.com.

How Does Your Garden Grow? (And Other Mops Updates!)

On April 7, we planted kitchen herb gardens, with the hope of our plants growing big and healthy enough to eventually transplant outside. My little herb garden is progressing very well!

On Tuesday, March 23, a group of Mops moms and kids met at Party Time Palace for Spring Break fun! Lunch was at McDonald's; they had a blast!

On Wednesday, March 3rd, creativity flowed freely! Here are just a couple of the library bags we made for our kids. Aren't they the cutest library bags EVER?

We hope to see you at our closing Mops meeting on Wednesday, May 19!

Fortune Cookie Valentines

Look at what my daughters will be getting under the Valentine Tree!



Um, okay, we really don't have a Valentine's Tree. But I did make these cute Valentine's Day fortune cookies at our last MOPS meeting!

If you were unable to attend, you can read the instructions here. We used hot glue from a glue gun instead of craft glue, and we also substituted a pipe cleaner for the floral wire.

If you would like to watch Martha Stewart make these fortune cookies, you can find the video by clicking here.

Happy Valentine's Day!
