We’ve been talking about… new programs!
We have taken a little break from programming over the summer months to rest and recharge (or run around with our kids to a zillion activities). It is kind of ingrained in us from childhood to mourn the end of summer but I’ve always looked forward to back to school time. It’s a time to reorganize and prepare to learn new things! At Uplift this fall, we are starting some new, small group focused activities and are looking forward to sharing them with you!
For starters, we created a "Parent Connect" group on our Facebook page. As a mom, I often find it hard to schedule play dates or even ask other moms to attend events with me. This will be a closed group (for security and privacy purposes) where we can invite others in our community to join us for impromptu play dates at the park, find a friend to attend community events with or connect in any way you wish!
We also have some awesome events planned so make sure to check out the Upcoming Events section and follow us on Facebook.

Tips we love…Make Freezer Meals
Making batches of freezer meals is a great way to save time during busy school weeks when you are bouncing from activity to activity. Not to mention other benefits, like:
1. Saves money because you can buy in bulk and eat out less
2. Helps you create a wider variety of nutrient packed meals for your family
3. Gets you out of the dreaded "regular meal rotation" rut
4. Helps you become a better cook by trying different things and learning new techniques
5. It's fun! Especially when you can do it with friends! So, we decided to host a freezer meal party in the month of September. Check out our upcoming events for details!!
