For those of us moms who couldn’t make it to the November 17th meeting

here are a few things you missed. We started with brunch and

listened to Kayley Decker sing a couple songs. We enjoyed making a

fun advent calendar for our craft using clip boards, scrapbook paper,

note cards and mod podge. We got together with our discussion groups

and talked about holiday traditions and brainstormed fun things wecan do as a family to be more giving. We finished the meeting with

our prayer circle. Today we will be making blessing bags to pass out

to the homeless. On the back I have included what we are putting in

the blessing bags, plus a few more ideas if you want to make your own.

At the next meeting we will be having our annual Christmas Party

gift exchange. Please bring a $15 gift and we will play a fun game. It

is also going to be pajama day, so wear something comfy!

It is now December, how the time sure

has flown by, we are slowly getting to

know more and more great women. Hope

everyone is enjoying it as well. Let us

get to know two more lovely ladies. In-

troducing Tiffany Linkous and Tara

Whitt...

Tiffany grew up in Andover, Kan-

sas. She has been married 8 years to

her husband Jeremy. They have two

children, Arianna (3) and the newest

addition to the family, Taylin Olivia

born 11/11/11. Tiffany’s favorite thing

about being a mom is all the hugs and

kisses, and watching them grow. A fa-

vorite thing they enjoy as a family is

playing outside.

Blessing Bags Today we are making blessing bags that we will be passing along to the home-

less. This time of year is really hard on them since it is so cold. Here is a

list of what we’ve included in our bags today, plus some extra things you can

throw in there just in case you feel inspired to make a few on your own. You

can take these to shelters or keep in your car just in case you happen to

need one. Also a big THANK YOU to Sue Hunt for sewing all the bags to put

everything in!
