This Week's Reminders
- Brunch is provided by SS Mommies. Please email your recipes to maplegrovemops@gmail.com to have it included in our online brunch recipe book.
- We are thrilled to have been able to reschedule our Zumba session for THIS WEEK! Come wearing (or bring) your yoga pants and tennis shoes that you bought for your New Year's Resolution, and get ready to boost those endorphins!
Handy Tips
- Save time and money by packing a bag lunch, even for at home! Is it a rush to get the kids home from MOPS on Tuesdays? Do you end up swinging through the McDonald's drive-through every week? Try packing a bag lunch at home before you leave in the morning and leave it in the fridge! Let your kids help you pack it...and they can even color the brown bag while you spread the peanut butter. There's nothing like having a healthy, inexpensive lunch ready and waiting for you when you get home!
- If you're spending a lot of time in the car with your kids, try giving them magnets to play with on a metal cookie sheet!
