Mom's Tip: New uses for a colander. Invert the colander and use it as a tent over buns or burgers at a bbq. Make a perfect martian's helmet for Halloween. Pour flour in it for quick sifting - use a wooden spoon to break lumps.

Mom's Tip: 'Dish Cloth Over the Door'. Drape a dish rag over the top hinge of the door so that the door will not close completely. Now you don't have to worry about your kids closing their fingers in the door, or locking themselves in the room.

Mom's Tip: 'Round the Room'. When you begin your spring cleaning, try to focus on one room at a time. Begin at the door of that room and move 'Round the Room' clockwise - organizing, cleaning, and dusting as you go. Rather than running single items to another room, where you might be distracted, place those things into a box to be put in their proper place later. You'll be surprised how quickly your spring cleaning is finished!

The Bellies Came Out...

Courtney and I had a great time representing momstown at Birth Connections annual Bellies & Babies Day yesterday. The event brought out a number of new and expectant mothers - many of whom had lots of questions about our group! Many of them have heard of us before and all the women we spoke to seemed quite enthusiastic about out group... So we might be getting some new members out and about at our events!

And, I know that we have some current members that haven't made it out much, given that the past couple of months have been cold and there were a lot of flu bugs going around, which nobody seemed to be able to escape. Well the sun is coming out, and hopefully more bellies and babies will be out too! Can't wait to see you all soon!

Pajama Party!

I wear my pink pajams in the summer when it's hot... I wear my pink pajamas in the winter when it's not... Today we had a great time at our March Break Madness Pajama Party! All guests got their own pair of slipper socks, and we had lots of delicious food too! After lunch, we had circle time where we read 'Llama, Llama Red Pajama' and sang pajama songs! Then we awarded prizes for the 'best bed-head' and the kids did crafts - decorated door hangers for their bedrooms. All while the moms had a great chat! Check out photos of the party below.
