Urban Mamas

We are thrilled to be bringing our new program to the Pacific Northwest for the 2012 schoolyear, but we are in need of a space! We seek to serve in the range of 30 preschool aged students, no more than 42, and want to find the ideal location to house this program.While we find a challenge thrilling we do not seek to navigate conditional use permits, TIFs or the like and would like a space with the same previous use (commercial, E use, etc..).

Please contact us if you know of childcare centers that are relocating, vacancies of spaces or other leads. And we will be back with information on how to enroll your gifted, bright and creative child!

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, does anyone have extra breast milk they are looking to donate?  I was unable to breastfeed my daughter for very long and we did we receive some donated breast milk, which I am very thankful for, but am all out and now giving formula.  I know breast milk is best and would love to provide that for her.  If you have extra, I would really appreciate it.  I can provide storage bags.  You can also email me directly at heidimarie78@gmail.com.

Thank you!!

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
