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!

Click on the photo above or right here for more information.  And thank you for helping to support such an important organization, THE DOUGY CENTER.

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!!
