Since my daughter enjoys riding her bike I came up with an idea on incorporating number recognition and gross motor skills! Initially, I was going to use bean bags to toss onto the numbers, which would have worked great but as I was preparing the activity my daughter was zooming around on her bike which made me think of using her bike instead. As I called out a number my daughter would pedal to it. Without planning on it she also got alot better at using her bike breaks!! We learned numbers, used our gross motor skills and got a ton of exercise going up and down and all around our driveway! If you would like to try this activity keep in mind that you can gear it towards whatever it is your child is currently learning. It could be things like shapes, letters, colors, sight words, etc.. Here are some of our other posts on ideas for learning numbers: Helicopter Number Hide n' Seek Learn double digits re-using play doh containers Egg match up Jump to the number

For my Relief Society calling in church I am the second counselor in the presidency, over the Additional meetings. We had a great meeting a couple of weeks ago with the theme, "Mission Possible". We wanted to focus on the missionaries serving from our ward and support them. For weeks before the event we had sisters volunteering to bring items for the various missionaries from our ward to put in care packages to be sent to them all over the world. Each Mother of a missionary made a list of things that their missionary would love to receive. We had such a great response from the sisters and received so many things for the packages. We dressed up in detective garb each Sunday to give our announcements. We even had a cute invitation we handed out to each sister that had been placed in a small manila envelope labeled "Mission Possible". The evening started off with a dinner. We had sisters bring various dishes from either the place where their missionary is serving, where they themselves served, or just whatever they felt like bringing! An amazing selection of foods were brought. I made coconut rice and an avocado corn salad in honor of my son who is serving in Brasil. I got both recipes from the Internet and they were yummy! I loved the cute little napkins that were folded to look like white shirts. We added the ties made from Fruit Stripe gum. The tie banner added a lot to the decor. This table was set up with a bag for each missionary from our ward to collect the items for their care boxes and a paper with the name of each missionary on top was set out for the sisters to write messages to each one. We invited the Elders serving in our ward to join us for dinner and leave a short message with us. They thought this idea sounded awesome and they said they wished that their home wards would do something like this for them! Secretly we had the ladies write short letters to these Elder's mothers that we will be sending to let them know how much we appreciate their son's service in our area. On each table we had the plaques displayed that belong to each missionary from our ward. We also had some paper and pens so that the sisters could write a short message to them. After the dinner we had the mother's of missionaries serving from our ward read a letter from their missionaries. It was touching and fun to hear of each missionaries' experiences. The spirit of missionary work was definitely felt that evening as our thoughts turned to our full-time missionaries. We will be sending this picture along with the letters written for the mother's of the Elders serving in our ward. As a missionary mom I know that they will love it!
