Happy New Year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday and want to wish you the best in the new year. Our club had a wonderful December with a fabulous Holiday party organized by Jennifer Woods and the special events committee. Our parent connection board members, Caroline Grundner & Danielle McGee also had wonderful playdates including a Cookie Swap at Kristen's home. Thank you ladies for planning such fun activities for our families!

Are you making some New Year's Resolutions? Here are a few ideas on how NOWAMOM can help.

Resolve to make Meal Time easier.
In February we will be meeting at my home for a Tastefully Simple Freezer meal workshop. I am so excited about this as I really struggle with dinner. I find myself making multiple trips to the grocery store & by Thursday it is not uncommon to be dialing for carry out.

Resolve to have more "me" time.
Come join us at our monthly meetings, Book Club, or moms night out events in 2017. We have several great events already on the schedule including our club meeting on 1/11, Book Club on 1/26, & freezer meal workshop on 2/2.

Resolve to declutter and organize.
A great first step is getting rid of items your family no longer needs, starting with clothing, equipment and toys that your kids have outgrown. The Spring/Summer Consignment Sale is only two months away, and is a great way to clear out stuff while making some cash. Check out the Seller Guide included in this newsletter; it has all the information you need to get started preparing your items. Registrations starts this month on 1/9.

Resolve to get more connected.
Please make sure you are receiving the club emails and invitations. Our Facebook page is another great way to connect with other moms. If you are not on either of these, contact membership@nowamom.org for assistance.

Resolve to become more involved in our club.
Please see the list of board positions and email me directly if you have an interest and we can discuss it further. The new board does not begin until July so you still have some time to think about it. There are lots of opportunities to become more involved in our club, and I promise you will find the experience enriching in so many ways.
