Recently I have become involved in our local MOPS organization. MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. Our local group is full of great women, who desire nothing more than to be great moms. Each meeting includes learning about being a better mom. Today was our monthly meeting, our topic was titled "Santa's Little Helpers". Many wonderful things come from our topic, but the most important aspect that was taken from the meeting was to "make memories". During this holiday season as mommies let's remember to do this. Let's not get hung up on the aspect of giving our children the biggest and best toys, but instead let's make memories that will last a lifetime.
Ideas for making memories:
Make Cookies with your children
Make a craft with your children
Hang Christmas lights together
Gather toys and deliver them to a needy family together
Play bored games together on Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve
The ideas are endless. As a mom always remember that your child may not remember the best gift they every received 20 years from now, but they will remember the memories that were made.
