We will be discussing some of the concepts from chapter two during our Oct 13th meeting. There will also be a Mom Panel of mother daughter mothering duos available to answer questions about their mothering techniques and influences. On October 27th we will start to discuss Whats a mama to do? (chapter three) when the daily mama dramas are played out right before our eyes. We will explore our decision making skills to decide what type of decision maker we are (and what we can do about it)! Join us for a night of refreshing fun and encouragement!

Fundraisers!
Special Thanks to Verna Keeney for donating her time and efforts to raise over $400 for our MOPS Group by having a yard sale during Colorfest weekend. We are selling labels from Mabels Labels. If you or anyone you know need labels for any item (clothing, bags, sippy cups) please visit our dedicated site at mopsofvt.mabel.ca
Why Membership Matters
According to Victory Tabernacles charter agreement with MOPS International, our members are required to register with MOPS International no later than their third visit to MOPS. The membership cost of $23.95 which goes directly to MOPS International. In order to keep our meetings affordable and accessible for every MOP, Victory Tabernacle MOPS does not charge dues over and above the MOPS International Membership. But why pay a MOPS International Membership Fee? How are the membership dues being used? There are certain MOPS members that do not have to pay for their membership (Teen MOPS for example), our membership dues go directly to supporting these ministries to young mothers who need support. As a member you will receive the membership package pictured to the left. It will include:
MomSense Magazine (6 per year) Weekly Mom-E-Mail MOPS Reusable Shopping Bag MOPS Iron On Appliqus* (t-shirt not included) MOPS Stickers featuring VeggieTales
August 9-11, 2012 Grapevine, TX Gaylord Texan

This is not exactly a money saving tip, but its more of a heads up for a good time to be had! Are you looking for a fun weekend away with just the girls? If so MOPS Convention is just for you! In August the VT MOPS Steering Team gathered with over 2000 other mommies at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville TN. We had an amazing time learning about how to be a better mom and sharing our stories with other moms around the world. This year we heard from Max Lucado, Steven & Mary Beth Chapman, Lisa Harper and many more. Please join our team this year at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, TX (near Dallas). If you plan to attend you will be responsible for paying your own way, but it is SO worthwhile, start saving now! More details will follow as the year progresses.
If youre having trouble sticking to your budget at the grocery store or those Target runs, try putting that allowance in an envelope instead of using your credit or debit card. Once its gone its gone!
Each month we will feature a quick and easy recipe that will be fun for the whole family! Of course pumpkin is top on my ingredient list during the fall months. I got this recipe from familyfun.com. There were so many recipes to choose from, it was difficult deciding what to make so of course the one with chocolate won! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 and 1/4 cup sugar, 1 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus more to sprinkle on top).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin, or line with paper. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, oil, eggs and sugar until well blended. In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Add to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a few chips on top of the muffins. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack.

First, have your child draw a tree trunk with branches on a piece of card stock. Then snip and tear a kitchen sponge into roughly one-inch-wide pieces. Pour a few small puddles of tempera paint onto a plastic plate, and place a piece of sponge on each puddle. Have your child use the sponge pieces to stamp fall foliage onto the branches.
