It's January 5th and some of you have already packed away all the Christmas decorations, rationed out gifts to play with and gifts to store away until a later time, peeled off labels and pulled off tags to clean new clothes for you and your little cherubs. Truth be told, I'm doing that today. And I know some of you keep up Christmas through January. For me, I am anxious to regain a quarter of my living room that is now occupied by a tree with preschooler-made ornaments among my pre-child ornaments (yep...we still have glass on our tree....I like to think I'm brave.). I want to reorganize all the toys, purge ones that we don't need, store away those toys that may come out in a few months that will be played with as if its the first time the kids have seen them. Purging, clearing out the clutter that has amounted on my table, island, hutch, ironing board, etc. feels good during this time of year; the after Christmas clean up.
In the spirit of Christmas giving, while you set aside toys to toss, clothes to donate please consider packing them away for just a few weeks to donate to the All Children's sale in March that will benefit your MOPS group. I will speak for our Leadership Team...we all greatly appreciate your donations for the sale. The funds earned generally are used to pay our MOPPET childcare givers- a precious gift to us when we are able to enjoy a morning with our MOPS friends.
Okay....another truth: I have piles of laundry to put away but thought typing this post would be much more productive. The piles of laundry are staring at me.
'Til next time....
