Today's Kitchen Store
If you haven't heard, there is a new kitchen store in downtown Wooster! Today's Kitchen Store is located on the square across from the Rubbermaid Store! The atmosphere at the store is fun and very modern. There are many unique cooking products/tools, cookbooks and spices/condiments! The store also has a very cute supply of kid size aprons and chef hats!!
I signed up for the first cooking class offered: Appetizers! The class was very interesting and the store supplied the recipes being prepared. I felt very comfortable asking questions and felt apart of the whole experience. I was able to sit at the counter which is right in front of the chef - (I recommend arriving early to any class so you are able to sit at the counter. A few people behind me couldn't see as well!) I look forward to future classes and if you have an idea for a cooking class the owners are more than willing to take suggestions!! You can find Today's Kitchen Store on the web: www.todayskitchenstore.com
by phone: 330.601.1331 or on Facebook: Today's Kitchen Store
I can't wait for the Preschool Cookie class! See you there!!

babylegs.
you might already know that i am a crazy-babylegs-addict. but you probably didn't know that you have an opportunity to win a pair everyday (once a month) for the special little one in your life! if you're wondering what in the world i'm talking about, go check out babylegs.com . they are legwarmers/armwarmers for boys and girls. they come in a bunch of different styles, and the if you "like" babylegs on facebook, you can get first dibs on some great sales.
and on to the "free" part. they run a forum here, where they post a daily question. all you have to do is answer the daily question and then a winner is chosen everyday by the moderator of the forum. you can win once a month! it's super fun to connect with other moms and hear their stories and takes on raising kids or being a mom. the forum is one of my daily online stops, and since joining it in late july, i've won twice. both times by posting a photo of my girl in her beautiful babylegs.
anyways, if you are interested, go here and request access by picking a screen name. they'll approve you within a few days, and then you just answer the daily question and you're on your way. hope to see you there! :)

christmas crafts for kids.
Just thought I would pass along info about a neat children’s craft time this Saturday in case you want to spread the word. It’s from 12-4:00 on Dec. 4 at 120 Beall (brick building just north of Liberty). We went last year—everything is free for kids and they had some really neat things to do. There was live Christmas music, and Santa dropped by too—no lines! This is a newer event and not very well known—kind of like a hidden gem—so just thought I would let other moms know about it.
thanks for the info, carrie!
thanks for the info, carrie!

You guys might already be aware of this... but here ya go, just in case your not...
This website prepares a personalized message from Santa to your little ones. They do a great job and you can add pics to it too. Only take a couple minutes. My kids are in love with it and it really helps them grasp the Christmas/Santa concept!
thanks, christa!

some new recipes for fall/winter boredom.
Left over candy:
www.candyexperiments.com
Flubber (College of Wooster Recipe)
In a large container (such as a pail) combine
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups white glue
Food coloring (whichever color you prefer)
In a second container, combine
1 1/3 cups warm water
3tsp Borax
mix ingredients in each container throroughly
Pour contants of smaller container into large container
Gently lift and turn mixture until only about a tablespoon of liquid is left. Flubber will be sticky for a moment or two. Let excess liquid drop off then Flubber will be ready.
Store in airtight container for 3 weeks.
It in non-edible
Peanut Butter Play Dough
one 18-oz. jar creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk
Mix ingredients together, using varying amounts of dry milk for desired consistencies. Knead it with fingers, forming into desired shapes, adding other foods like M&M's or peanuts for eyes, mouths, etc. Great fun!
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
Kool-Aid Play Dough
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup salt
3 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 package Kool-Aid Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan. Slowly add water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Turn out onto a heatproof bread board or counter top and knead until cool enough for children to handle. Dough will be the color of the Kool-Aid mix and will smell like the Kool-Aid mix. (Can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to six months)
Jell-O Play Dough
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 (3-1/2 oz.) package "unsweetened" Jell-O
Mix all ingredients together and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until consistency of mashed potatoes. Let cool and knead with floured hands until dry.
Storage: This recipe needs to cool completely "before" storing it in an airtight container!
Oatmeal Play Dough
1 part flour
2 parts oatmeal
1 part water
Mix ingredients together and form into shapes.
Note: The items made from this play dough recipe can be painted when they are dry.
Peanut Butter/Graham Cracker Play Dough
Equal amounts of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cream
Graham Crackers
First, have the children wash their hands before beginning so they can safely lick their fingers during this project.
Allow children to crumble up Graham Crackers into crumbs, then set these aside. Let them have just a little touch of the Marshmallow Cream and a little touch of peanut butter to feel the different textures and to lick off their fingers.
Mix the peanut butter and Marshmallow Cream together and have the children notice the change in texture. Cover surface area with wax paper or use a breadboard, let children make into shapes. Roll shapes in Graham Cracker crumbs, then eat!
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
Cream Cheese Play Dough
8 oz. package of cream cheese
1/2 cup non-fat dry milk
1 tablespoon honey
crackers or bread slices
Combine cream cheese, milk and honey in a bowl and mix until well blended. Mold sculptures on was paper.
Storage: Unused portions MUST BE STORED in an airtight container and kept refrigerated! Because cream cheese is perishable, use the expiration date on the cream cheese package as your guide for how long you can keep this play dough.
Note: The shapes can then be placed on crackers or bread slices, decorated with edibles (celery or carrot slivers, raisins, dried fruit pieces, nuts, or seeds for a healthysnack... then eat!
Frosting Play Dough
1 can frosting (any flavor)
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Mix together until dough reaches desired consistency
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. Next time you want to use it, let it come to room temperature for pliable dough.

costume swap.
i was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a costume swap for their kids this year. do you have any old costumes that your kids have worn in past years for halloween that you are willing to let another mom borrow?
the reason that i ask is that i know how expensive it can get to outfit the kids (especially multiple kids!!) for halloween. i have some great costumes for boys that are 3T and under, and for girls, i have a ladybug that is size 12 months. i'd be willing to let another mom borrow... and i hope that others might do the same. we could get some major exchanging going on here! :)
if you have something that you are willing to let someone borrow, leave a comment about what it is and what size it is. and if you're interested in borrowing something, you can make your request in the comment section as well.

saturday morning out.
we were tossing around the idea of doing a saturday morning out for moms. we'd go to medina, have some tea at miss molly's, shop at root candle and in the square, and be back by 1 or 2 in the afternoon. would any of you be interested in an activity like this? would you prefer to do it in september or october? if we were to go, should we come up with an activity for all the dads and kids to do or just let them wing it? ;)
free "udder cover".
if you're okay with spending the 10 bucks on shipping, you can get a free udder cover (nursing cover). or you can get the 3 piece gift set for 5 bucks, plus shipping. i bought one of these in the hopes of one day needing it, and can attest to how fab it is. go here to check out the selection, and the enter the code "Breastfeeding" at checkout to get it free.
thanks, bargain divas!

deceptively delicious.
kohl's cares for kids has a new set of books for kids... this time around it's winnie the pooh. there are four books and four stuffed animals. the "adult" book available is deceptively delicious by jessica seinfeld... the one about hiding veggies and other nutritious ingredients in foods that are normally pretty kid-approved anyway. all the books and stuffed animals are 5 bucks each... pick some of them up and feel good that the profit goes to charity. :)
have you tried anything from deceptively delicious or the sneaky chef? have you had any success stories?

What We Need from YOU!
There are a few things that we wanted to do to make sure that all info is up-to-date. We wanted you to submit your family birthdays (for acknowledgement in the newsletter) and/or your due dates. We also needed to make sure that email addresses have been added correctly, and that no one has been left off the list. If you scan the recipient list of the emails you are getting and see that someone is missing, please send us an email with their name and e-address.
We also had a few ideas for articles in the newsletter and we need your help to see them come to fruition. We’d like to do some segments on One Tank Trips to family-friendly destinations. Also, we are looking for some moms who are willing to submit Book/CD/DVD reviews. And if you’re like Carrie, and have a stellar product that you’d like to share with other moms, we need you for product reviews!
We also are seeking your ideas about how the group can be made even better. Karrie McAllister submitted some ideas for making a We Are Moms Logo (know anyone who could do that for us??) to put on t-shirts, mugs, etc., and also a central address to send email to (besides my own personal e-address). What about a motto? Got anything catchy?
We’d love your playdate ideas, your GNO ideas, or great local activities you’ve found and are participating in with your child. In short, we want to know what you’re doing! If you care to share, we want to hear!

We Are Moms- History.
Why I started We Are Moms
In 2007 I was a full time working mom of two boys, ages 1 and 2. I had a home office and traveled 4 days a week, so I didn't have much of a connection with a group of moms. I knew that there were more moms out there like me and I was determined to find them. I started the moms group with about seven moms on the list, some of them I don't even think knew they were on the list, they were just moms I knew, LOL! It took a long time getting moms to connect and it was a lot of hard work. Many times in the first year, no one would show up for the play dates or "Girls Nights Out", but I refused to give up. I knew it wouldn't happen overnight and it didn't. But now, 3 years later, with a list of 82 moms, it has paid off!
This group to me is about surviving motherhood! It's about having fun while trying to raise decent kids in a world filled with demanding expectations put on our generation of parents. It's about meeting a diverse group of women and if you are lucky finding a few that will be lifelong friends . This group is its' own information highway of motherhood! Seriously, who needs Google when you have this many moms in one group! We have discussed rashes, preschools, plumbers, restaurants, toys," to minivan or not to minivan", specialists for kids, and that was just in one play date! It's not judging a mom because her child hit yours, because most likely your day will come... sooner than you think. It's about having a bad day, but knowing that you will be able to talk to someone over 48 inches for an hour and that somehow gets you through the rest of your day with a smile. It's about giving up a shower for yourself, so you have enough time to make it to a play date that is new and exciting for your kids. It's knowing that a ball cap and a camera are sometimes your best and only accessories!
Motherhood is a trip, it has helped me to learn who I am and who I want to be. We all have different views, standards and beliefs, but the common denominator is WE ARE MOMS. It is my belief that it is in the best interest of myself, that I do not go through this journey of motherhood alone, so that is why I started this group.
