Family Fun Idea
Fall Carmel Apples
Make sure you wash the apples and let them dry early in the day so you don't have to worry about it when it is time to dip.
Lay out wax paper on cookie sheets
Remember to buy popsicle sticks
When melting the carmel the microwave works great.
Use short periods of time and stir periodically. Sometimes you can add a little evaporated mild to help the carmel melt smoothly. Don't use to much however, or your carmel will slide off the apple.
Get candy bars, gummy bears, skittles.
Let the kids roll the carmel apples in the crunched candy bars or stick their favorite candy around the sides.
Have the kids turn it into a service project and deliver them to their friends.

Updates from September's American Mothers Meeting
Thanks to all who helped make last months meeting such a success.
As mom's we are all better when we feel better. We had Wendi Dunford speak about mental health and well-being. She did a fantastic job and really had some good ideas that can help all of us mothers improve our thoughts and help with anxiety and depression. One thing that she told us can help us cope with life better is knowing that if we A. change our thinking B. we can change our feelings which C. can change our lives! Just knowing this can be half the battle.
Wendi also suggested some good books and websites that can give us better insight into our way of thinking and our feelings:
"Loving What Is" -by Byron Katie

The Feeling Good Handbook- by David Burns
Breaking the Patterns of Depression by Micheal Yapko
Overcoming Depression by Paul Gilbert
