Urban Mamas

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

Hey mamas...Coming home from the hospital with your new little bundle can be a daunting task.  Sleep deprivation, pain and discomfort and lots of breastfeeding questions and/or issues come up.  Let me help sort it all out!  I am a labor and delivery nurse at a high risk hospital here in Portland, as well as a mom of a 1 yr. old and a 3 yr. old.  I would love to help get you started off on the right foot by listening to your questions and concerns and checking out your baby's environment at home and giving you some helpful tips.  We will come up with a written plan for your specific needs regarding sleep, breastfeeding, pain management, mom's emotional support and more, so that you can focus on healing and enjoying your baby.  A warm meal of your choice and email support included.  Check out my website for more information on this, as well as, the other services I provide and email me with any questions.  Thanks, Dena www.babyloveworkshop.com
