Join us Feb 16-24 for a Dougy Center fundraiser!  Enter your child into the third annual MOST BEGUILING BABES contest for only $25. 100% of that fee goes directly to The Dougy Center.  Your child's photos will be posted on my blog for your family and friends to vote.  The child with the most votes will receive prizes from Amy Vining Photography, Child's Play Toy Store, and more!  Our goal is to photograph 100 children, for a grand total donation of $2500.  We need your help!

Thanks to all the parents who attended my most recent lecture on Will and Trust Planning for the Busy Parent.  One of the moms who came shared with me the last person SHE learned about who drafted a Will.  Not a personal acquaintance to be sure.  But very fun non the less.  Thanks Emily for sharing these links with me and now Urban Mamas.

Hello mamas!  I'm excited to share that "Babylove Childbirth Classes" will be a featured daily deal on www.mobba.comwithin the next two weeks!  The deal is 50% off all childbirth workshops for the next year when purchased through Mobba.com.  That's $30 per person...a steal!  So, if you're not already a member of Mobba.com, now's the time, especially if you or someone you know is expecting (or planning to) any time within the next year.  My workshops are one-stop shopping when it comes to preparing for childbirth.  The workshops are a one time, 4-5 hour session on a weekend day, and includes lots of coupons and resources from all around the Portland area.  Not only are the workshops informative (I'm a labor and delivery nurse) they are personal, small group sessions so that you will come away feeling connected and empowered when your baby's birthday arrives.  Please check out my website for more information!  Best, Dena Holstrom www.babyloveworkshop.com, deenzrn@yahoo.com
