Bouncy Town USA tomorrow

Due to a large tour group of kids scheduled to be at the Strawberry Farm tomorrow and also to the expected rain, we will be meeting at Bouncy Town USA instead.  Plan to meet at 10:30 and we will stay for lunch and bounce some more.  I hope to see you tomorrow!

Last meeting of the spring

We will be having our last meeting of the spring this Wednesday.  So I hope to see all of you there!  We will be discussing Acts of Service.  So if you or your family do any type of service, for others, the church, each other, come ready to share!

Meeting This Wednesday

We will be meeting this Wednesday.  We are changing the topic; instead of discussing exercise and healthy eating, we are going to have a time of prayer and catching up with one another.  I will not be there this Wednesday.  Nick and I are taking Logan to a Brewer game.  I hope you all have a wonderful time and I will see you at the last official meeting of the spring, in just over two weeks.

Baby Shower for Nanette and Zachary!

We will be having a baby shower to celebrate Zachary and Nanette next Wednesday night, May 18th.  It will be at Cool Beans starting at 6:00.  Even though it is short notice, I hope many of you will be able to come.  If you would like more information, you can contact the hosts: Candace, Laura or Monica.  See you next Wednesday!

Coffe Night on Thursday

We have our monthly coffee night scheduled for this Thursday from 6:30 until 9:00 at Cool Beans.  I won't be able to make it this month as I am going on a shopping trip to Schaumburg, IL with my mom and sister.  Sorry I will miss you.  I hope some of you will be able to make it and enjoy some time together!

Mom's Group this Week

We will be meeting this Wednesday and will have a guest speaker.  Pastor Sarah will be talking to us about finding our spiritual pathway.  I am very excited to hear what she has to say to all of us.  You won't want to miss this Wednesday! 

We currently do not have anyone signed up to bring a snack for the adults this Wednesday.  If you would be willing to bring a treat, please let me know!  Candace is signed up to bring a snack for the children.

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!

Mom's Retreat

I know it is a month away, but I am so excited for the retreat!  I only went one night last year, and really enjoyed it.  I am definitely looking forward to going both nights this year. The retreat will be May 20-22.  It will once again be at Candace's parent's lake house.  So let me know if this is something you would want to do again this year so we can start getting some plans going.  In a couple weeks we will try to get things finalized for meals and carpooling.  I can't wait to spend some time with all of you!

Review from last Wednesday

The Five Love Languages of Children

“Speaking your child’s primary love language does not mean he or she will not rebel later. It does mean your child will know you love him and that can bring him security and hope; it can help you to rear your child to responsible adulthood.  Love is the foundation.” (pg. 16)

All children need all 5 of the love languages, especially under the age of 5.  Eventually they will have one love language that speaks more to them then others do.  You will need to express this to your child to keep their love tanks full, to keep them feeling loved at all times.  But they still need you to express love using all the love languages, so they will learn how to speak all five love languages to others.

As children grow and go through different stages, their primary love language may change.  And just because they may express one love language to others, does not mean that this is their own love language.

1. Physical Touch

            Matthew 19:13-14 “Then people brought little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.””

            Physical touch is the easiest love language to use unconditionally. (pg. 30)

            Under the age of 5: hugs, kisses, holding them

            Older boys who may not want such affectionate gestures: gentle touches on the back or arm, playful wrestling even contact sports, high fives

            Older girls: same as older boys, but they need more affection from father figures who tend to not give as much physical touch as the girls get older

            Ideas for Parents: (pg.  41-42)

·        When you greet or say good-bye to your child, gather them into your arms and hold them.

·        Hug and kiss your child every day when they leave and return from school, as well as when you tuck them in at night.

·        Stroke your child’s hair or rub their back when they tell you about a difficult day or are upset.

·        Shortly after disciplining your child, take a moment to give them a hug to show them the discipline was based on the consequences of their wrongful choices but that you still love and cherish them.

·        Snuggle together on the couch when watching TV

·        Have “tickle fights” with your children.

·        Play games or sports together that require physical touch.  This will allow both shared time together and touch that is meaningful without appearing forced.

·        Hold hands during family prayer.

2.  Words of Affirmation

            Proverbs 18:21 “The tongue has the power of life and death”

            Words of Affection: expressing appreciation for the very being of a child, saying “I love you”, commenting on physical attributes

            Words of Praise: given for what the child does; achievements, behavior or conscious attitudes.  Make sure that it is both true and justified when given.

            Words of Encouragement: given to encourage behaviors and attitudes in children.  It is easier to encourage children when we are feeling good physically.  If we are angry, it becomes hard to encourage our children.  Tone of voice is very important. Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”

            Words of Guidance: direction that guides the children in moral and ethical development, try to give guidance in a positive way

            Ideas for Parents: (pg 56-57)

·        Make a habit of mentioning something specific you’ve observed that highlights your child’s accomplishments.

·        Put a Post-it note in their lunchbox with some encouraging words.

·        Take a picture or other creation your child has created and frame it in a special frame with a note of why it means so much to you.

·        Call your child at home whenever you think of them just to say, “I love you.”

·        Create a special name of affection for your child that is only used between the two of you.

·        Make it a habit to say, “I love you” whenever you tuck in your child or leave one another.

·        When your child is feeling down, share five reasons why you are proud of them.

·        When a child makes a mistake trying to do something helpful, first use words to recognize that you knew of their good intentions.

3. Quality Time

            Giving focused attention to your child. It conveys the message of “You are important. I like being with you.”  Quality time takes effort on the parents part.  Be sure to give each child their own quality time.

            Quality time is a great way to get to know your child better.  It will usually lead to quality conversations between you and your child.  For younger children, a great place for quality time is at bed time. 

            Ideas for Parents: (pg. 70-72)

·        Stop what you are doing to make eye contact with your child as they tell you something important.

·        Schedule a specific “date time” with each of your children individually.

·        Create “traditions” with your child of a certain place you regularly go, perhaps to eat ice cream or to play at a particular park.

·        Occasionally take family walks or bike rides together.  Seek opportunities to spend time together that also include exercise.

·        Share more meals together as a family.

·        Plant something together. For those with outdoor oriented children, time together in a garden can create lifelong positive memories.

·        On a rainy day, open up a photo album that has pictures of your child’s earlier life.  Sit together and talk about the fun and emotion of the events in the pictures.

4.  Gifts

            A true gift is not payment for services rendered; rather, it is an expression of love for the individual and is freely given by the donor. (pg .76)   

            A gift doesn’t need to be expensive or large, it can be anything given in love.  Even necessities, such as clothes, can be gifts.  Try wrapping them and giving them in a fun, expressive way.

            For older children, gifts can be chosen together, so their opinion can be voiced as to what they want.

            Ideas for parents: (pg. 85-86)

·        Keep a small collection of inexpensive gifts packed away for your child.  Then give them one at a time as you sense there is a need.

·        Select presents that fit the interests of your child.

·        When away from home, mail a small package to your child with their name on it.

·        Create a scavenger hunt for a gift that includes a map and clues along the way to the main surprise.

·        Hide a small gift in your child’s lunchbox.

·        Consider a gift that lasts, such as a tree you can plant together or a board game you can play together in the future.

·        For young children, find “nature gifts” such as wildflowers or special stones wrapped in a special paper or box.

·        Give hints leading toward a special upcoming gift. A “countdown” of notes such as, “Only four more days until present day,” help create huge anticipation and a tremendous amount of love for those who especially enjoy receiving gifts.

5.  Acts of Service

            We serve our children, but as they are ready, we teach them how to serve themselves and then others.  (pg 91)

            The ultimate purpose for acts of service to children is to help them emerge as mature adults who are able to give love to others through acts of service. (pg 95)  We are role models to our children; they first feel acts of service from us as young children. As they get older, they recognize acts of service that have been given to them over the years, and what parents do for others.

            Ideas for parents: (pg 101-102)

·        Make a favorite snack when your son or daughter is having a difficult day.

·        For younger children, set up your child’s favorite toys while they are taking a nap or are at school so they can immediately play with them (with you!).

·        During a time when your child is sick, go the extra step by setting up their favorite movie, reading them stories, or making their favorite soup.

·        Begin teaching your child the importance of serving others through regular involvement together in a local community group or church ministry.

·        Make a list of several of your child’s favorite things they do with you. Then periodically do one of their favorites when they expect it.

·        Create flash cards for your child’s upcoming test or quiz. Work together with your child until they feel confident with the material.

·        Assist your child in fixing a favorite broken toy or bicycle. Simply taking the time to repair it communicates love to a child whose love language is acts of service.

Discovering your child’s love language

• Observe how your child expresses love to you
• Observe how your child expresses love to others
• Listen to what your child requests most often
• Notice what your child most frequently complains about
• Give your child a choice between two options (ex: Would you like for me to bake you an apple pie (acts of service) or for us to take a walk in the park (quality time)?)

Coffe Night on Thursday

We have our monthly coffee night this Thursday at Cool Beans.  Feel free to come anytime between 6:30 until it closes at 9:00.  I hope to see you there!

We will finally have our first meeting tomorrow at 9:40.  The first meeting will just be a social time, so we can all catch up with one another.  We will also go over the schedule for the next few months.  I am excited to see you all tomorrow!

Mark 9:24

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

As I was reading this verse last night, I immediately thought of myself.  I do believe God can do anything (I mean, he created the world and everything in it!  And has done so many miracles! What more proof do I need than that!)  But all it takes is for Satan to plant that tiny doubt of unbelief, and then I start to question everything.  So my prayer today is that Jesus helps Me overcome my unbelief.

Coffee Night

I am so glad that I was able to chat with the ladies that came out for coffee tonight.  It is always great getting to know you more.  I truly enjoy spending time with you all.  We missed those of you that weren't able to come, hopefully you will be able to join us next month!

Another Trip to Bouncy Town

Another trip to Bouncy Town has been planned for Friday, February 25th.  Lets meet at 10:30 and plan on bringing a lunch/snacks to eat there.  I can't wait to see you there!

Happy Birthday Katie!

I hope you have a wonderful day and you are able to relax and enjoy it!  I hope you and Georgie are feeling better also.  Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Belated Birthday To Candace!

Happy Birthday Candace!  I hope you enjoyed your day in Florida!  Sorry this is a day late.

Picture from Bouncy Town

I am so glad I got to see a few of you today at Bouncy Town.  It was a lot of fun, the kids played so well!  We will have to do it again.  I will try to think of another outing we can do sometime soon, or if you have any ideas, let me know!

Bouncy Town Tomorrow

I am still planning on going to Bouncy Town, but have decided to bring a lunch there.  Then Logan can play, eat, and play some more!  So I hope to see you tomorrow!

Coffee Night this Thursday!

I just wanted to remind everyone that we have our monthly coffee night this Thursday at 6:30 at Cool Beans.  I am looking forward to seeing you there!

Prayer Requests

If you ever have a prayer request that you want prayer for, or a praise report you would like to share, please feel free to post them in a comment, or email me.  I would love to pray with you or rejoice with you!

"I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:23-24

Isaiah 43:18-19

"Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.  See, I am doing a new thing!"

Trip to Bouncy Town

Since next week is looking like it will be very cold, I thought Logan and I would go to Bouncy Town on Tuesday.  We will try to get there around 10:30.  If you would like to join us, we would love to have company!  We will most likely go to Mc Donalds or A&W for lunch after bouncing around for a while.  I hope to see you there!

Exodus 34:6-7

"The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin."

AMEN!!!

February Weather Facts

It looks like we are starting February off with a bang, nothing like a blizzard warning for the first day of the month! :) I hope everyone stays safe and warm.

Here are a few weather facts for the month of February.  Our average high for today is 27 degrees, and by the last day of the month the average high is 36 degrees.  The sunrise and sunset times for today are 7:13am and 5:10pm, and for the last day of the month are 6:36am and 5:45pm.  That is an extra 72 min. of sunlight!

Meeting Caneled this Week

Nanette and I have decided to cancel the meeting for this week.  So our first meeting will be February 16th at 9:40. 

Watching the Weather...

There is a chance that mom's group will be canceled this week due to the snow we are expected to get Tuesday night.  So check back here before Wednesday to find out for sure. 

Super Bowl Recipes

I am looking for a good appetizer recipe for a Super Bowl party that my family is going to.  If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know!

Here is a very yummy (but unhealthy) recipe for a Jalepeno Popper Dip:
2- 8oz packages of cream cheese
1C Mayo
4oz diced green chilies
2oz diced jalepeno peppers
1C grated parmesan cheese
Beat cream cheese and mayo together until smooth.  Stir in peppers and chilies and 1/2C of the parmesan cheese.  Spoon into a casserole dish (I use a large, shallow dish and it tends to work best).
Bake at 375 for around 20-25 min, until bubbly.
Enjoy with your favorite bag of corn chips.

Luke 11:13

"If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask (and continue to ask) Him."

This was sent out by Pastor Tom in the weekly devotional.  This also happens to be a verse that I have been praying for myself.  I love how when God puts something on your heart, that he reminds us about it in many ways!  Thank you Jesus!

Free Kids Events in February

Here are a couple free events that are happening for kids in February: 

Home Depot offers a Kids Workshop on the first Saturday of every month.  On February 5th, between 9am until noon, you can build a heart shelf for Valentines Day. 

Michaels also has a couple free events in February.  Check out the link for dates and times.  http://www.michaels.com/Store-Events/store-events,default,pg.html Some of the events you have to purchase the materials before doing the craft, others are free!

If you know of anything else that is happening, please leave a comment.  I am always looking for free things to do with Logan!

First Meeting in One Week!

We will have our first meeting of the year next week, February 2nd.  We will meet from 9:40 until 11:30, on the lower level of the church.  The first meeting will be a time of fellowship with one another.  We will have a short time of worship, play a few games, and enjoy some snacks.  I am excited to see you all!  See you next week!

Proverbs 4:23

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

Wise words from Solomon.

Connect with Mom's Group!

Today's message at church was about connecting with one another, so we can love one another, encourage one another, confess our sins to one another, and so on...  I know I am looking forward to Mom's Group starting back up in February, I have missed our fellowship with one another!.  You can sign up for Mom's Group starting today, and if you haven't yet, you still have next week to do so!  I hope you all do!  I look forward to seeing you all on February 2nd, when we have our first meeting.  See you then!

Rock & Worship Road Show

Two weeks from today, February 5th, will be the Rock & Worship Road Show at the Alliant Energy Center.  I went last year and really enjoyed it.  The bands this year are Mercy Me, Jars of Clay, The Afters, Thousand Foot Crutch and Matt Maher.  Tickets are $10 at the door.  The doors open at 5:00, and it starts at 6:00.  We got there around 5:45 last year and ended up sitting at the top of the Alliant Energy Center, so we plan on getting there earlier this year.  If you want more info you can check out the website at Life 102.5 http://www.life1025.com/2011/01/rock-and-worship-road-show/  It should be a good show!

Deuteronomy 6:5-7

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These commandments I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

The first part of this verse I know by heart, like many of you probably do.  I wasn't as familiar with the second half, but as a mother, it really stuck out to me.  I am with Logan all day, and I need to make sure that I am teaching him and showing him that we need to love the Lord with everything that is in us.  And I should be doing this all throughout the day, every day!

The Weather Geek In Me...

Here is just a little weather information about the rest of January.  Climatically, January 14th is the coldest day of the winter, so things should only get warmer from here (right?!).  However, January's temperatures really don't change much at all throughout the month.  We start the month with an average high of 26 and end the month with the same temperature.  January is just one long, cold month. BRRR!
If you are interested in the growing minutes of daylight, the sunrise and sunset times for today are 7:24 and 4:53.  On the last day of this month the sunrise and sunset times are 7:14 and 5:08.  That is an extra 25 minutes of daylight!  Yeah!

Happy Birthday Kathryn!

I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating! Today is your day to shine as every day should be!  Happy Birthday!!!!

Help With Topics...

Mom's group will be starting to meet again in February.  I want to get a schedule of topics that will be discussed each week posted on here soon.  But first, I wanted to give you all a chance to help me think of some ideas that you would want to talk about.  Here are a couple of mine: five love languages of children and of couples; devotionals for yourself or for children; different ways to discipline; acts of service.  If you have any ideas, please let me know!  I am open to any and all topics!  You can either leave a comment below, or email me : sescheffel23@gmail.com  Thanks for your help!

Coffee Night Tomorrow!

Just a reminder that we will be having our Coffee Night at Cool Beans at 6:30 tomorrow night!  I hope to see all of you there, it will be great to chat with you all!  See you tomorrow!

Movie Night!!

Our first Moms Night Out Event will be a movie night at Candace's house!  We will be having it on February 19th, time still to be determined.  So start thinking of some movies that you would want to watch!

Events Posted!

I got the events posted!  We will be meeting on Thursday, January 13th, for coffee at Cool Beans on the East side of Madison.  We will meet at 6:30, so I hope you will be able to join us!  I look forward to getting together with you all.
