Toy and Clothing Swap‏ Thursday May 13

Hey Ladies,.:)

I know this is short notice, but was wondering if anyone would be interested in bringing their gently used clothes and toys that they don't want any more for a MOPS Swap. We could do it first thing at MOPS on Thursday and hopefully it would be a great way to clean out our closets and get some new toys/clothes!

PLEASE let me know if you're interested so I can plan the meeting accordingly!

Thanks,


Betsy

MOPS tomorrow Ladies!!!:)

Hey Ladies!

Tomorrow we will have a guest speaker from the Sebring MOPS, Nancy Duvall. She is coming to tell us about a great opportunity to help other moms in need. She will tell us all about it, but in the mean time, she told me that the Woman's Shelter is in need of crib and twin bed sheets. I thought I would pass it along just in case you had any extras! And of course if you have any other new or used baby items that you'd like to donate, please bring them tomorrow!!!


See you then!!



Betsy

5 Ways to Create Happy Risers

I had a hard time getting up this morning ... and my kids did too! Seems like once we get used to the time change, something upsets it again. Here are some tips on how to wake your kids up happy - every day!

5 Ways to Create Happy Risers
by Tracey Brewer

Mornings can be a struggle when it comes to getting everyone up and moving. Having my children actually display a cheerful attitude while getting ready for the day sometimes seems like an unattainable bonus! Here are five ways I’ve found to create a happy riser.

1.Turn on some music. Hearing a song that he enjoys may help ease your child’s transition from sleeping to waking. You could try a recording of children’s songs, soft instrumental music or even something classical.

2. Be silly. Now, I have one daughter who really enjoys this; the other one, not so much. I might sing her a silly song, tickle her, toss her blanket over her and pretend I can’t see her – anything out of the ordinary that will make her laugh.

3. Leave a note or a small treat under their pillow. This could be a once a week or so surprise – no need to do it only at tooth fairy times! A little “I love you” or “You’re special” note along with a pencil, sheet of stickers or even a small piece of candy to be eaten after breakfast can make a routine morning special.

4. Allow enough time for awakening gently. I know when I’m running late and come dashing into their bedroom, hurrying everyone along, it doesn’t make for a peaceful start to the day. It’s much better if I have a minute to sit with them and let them begin their day at a more leisurely pace.

5. Have your children in bed on time the night before. Okay, did you see this one coming? It’s much easier to get out of bed happy if you’ve had a full night of sleep. I feel like I’m such a stickler when it comes to getting my kids in bed on time, but I know how things will go the next day if they don’t get enough sleep.

I hope that you will find some of these ideas to be useful in changing those grumpy faces into smiling ones!

MOPS Tomorrow!!! ;)

We hope to see you all tomorrow at MOPS at 9:00am.
