Our October speaker was Angela Francis with the topic of
Bermuda Triangle--Organizing Your Life. Angela shared with us many tips on how to get more organized. Her main focus today was on meal preparation, cleaning, and home organization. There were several great tips to take home today!
Here are a few of her helpful hints:
Meal Preparation: prepare a menu; keep basic ingredients stocked; keep items on hand for quick meals to prepare in a pinch; wash and chop fresh veggies as soon as you bring them home
Cleaning: clean as you go (ie while you are cooking, as you get ready in the morning); clean one room in your house a day; put things away as you use them (not later!); get your kids involved
Home Organization: declutter and don't be a pack rat; file, file, file papers!; deal with mail immediately; use storage containers; go through clothes 2 times/year and get rid of anything you did not wear during that season
Thank you so much Angela for the helpful tips and reminders! Hopefully we are all motivated to get more organized!
The service project for this month was our Cancer Care Packages. As a discussion group, we each contributed to putting together a gift bag for a woman fighting breast cancer.
We assembled the packages at our meeting and they are ready for delivery! Thank you to each of the ladies in our group who will be personally delivering these to a woman they know fighting cancer. We will be praying these gifts are a source of encouragement to these ladies and pray for God's healing touch in their lives!!
One more thing! We each received information regarding Operation Christmas Child. Over the next month take your kiddos on an adventure to the dollar store. Have your kids help you pick out items to fill a shoebox and bring it with you to our November meeting.
Praising God for another blessed MOPS meeting!!!!
