Holiday Traditions

As the time for holidays approaches, what special traditions mean the most to you and your family?

Cute crafts for Tuesday

We have three crafts for you to choose from for Tuesday:

1.  Making a Tutu for your little girl (or boy if you really want to!).

 

 

2.  Making a Cape for your little girl or boy.  If you are planning on doing this one, please bring an old adult-sized tee shirt in the color of your choice to make your cape.

 

 

 

3. Making a fall decoration...you will have to come to see what this one looks like!

 



When Life gives you a pain in the neck....

Literally....

Do you have neck pain from carrying your screaming 6 month old son? Are your shoulders always tense due to the stress of life with a third grade girl with issues at school?  Did you wake up today with pain in your back from your 15 year old lumpy mattress?

THEN YOU NEED TO DE-STRESS AT FFC'S MOMS' CLUB!!

This Tuesday night we will have a representative from Blum Family Chiropractic (http://www.blumfamilychiropractic.com) talking about how we can be healthy mommas for our families. They will also have free neck screenings and answer our questions about chiropractic care.  

After they share we will have two crafts to choose from:

1.  Making a tutu or a super-hero cape for your kids for Halloween

(If you choose to make a cape, you will need to bring an adult-sized tee shirt to make your cape.) 

2. Making a fall decoration for your home. 

Don't forget to bring $5 to cover the cost of the materials, our speaker and the food!

See you on Tuesday... BRING A FRIEND!!  

Lost the Creativity?

Kids' lunches -- whether you pack them for school or create them at home -- are a chore!!  It is easy to get in a rut of the same old lunch over and over.  Mom is bored and the kids are bored. 

SO... let's work together and share our best ideas:

What is your most creative lunch for the kids when you are bored with the normal, everyday lunches?
