Staff Your Weaknesses Art

I heard this statement, "Staff your weaknesses" a while ago and it just stuck with me. I think mostly because I usually try to do it all: be a good mom, have a clean house, make the perfect meal, design the perfect logo, give the best gift...it goes on and on. Realizing that it's okay to admit you can't be the best at everything is freeing. I designed the below artwork to remind myself not always try and be superwoman. It's alright to fail sometimes and you can always ask for help.

In general, I find it is hard to shop for men. They are not very good at telling you what they want, but they sure are specific about what they don't want! They also tend to be more sentimental than we sometimes give them credit. This hand-print tree made up of your little one's hands is an easy craft that is sure to make any dad smile!

Mobile Phone Scavenger Hunt {Free Printable}

Here is a great ice-breaker game for larger groups to encourage introductions!

 

This past year at MOPS we had about 60 moms sitting at 7 different tables making it somewhat difficult to meet all who attend. To encourage the moms to get to know the women outside their tables we did this fun Mobile Phone Scavenger Hunt. Everyone was instructed to find the items on the above handout by asking the women around the room what was on their phone. They were only allowed to get two answers from one person; thus encouraging them to mingle and meet everyone. Great conversations developed as women met and interacted during this easy 10-minute game. At the end of the activity the woman with the most 'finds' won a Starbucks gift card. Use this game is a quick ice-breaker for almost any large group setting!
