I wonder if there is a toy library in town or if there are folks interested in sharing toys. The toys at home get lots of good use and are well cared for and I am wanting to find some new toys (new to us..) for him to enjoy as he grows. I am tempted to buy more but I imagine there are plenty of toys floating around out there among us already. If we were to pool our resources and come up with a way to do it (maybe a swap of a few toys for a couple of weeks for example ...) I bet we could keep our kids with a replenished "toy box" without having to buy buy buy all the time.

Our son is 2.5 and we especially like toys that inspire imagination and are battery free.

I have some really nice 0-2T clothes that my daughter has grown out of that I'd like to sell at a resale or consignment shop.  I don't want to sell them in exchange for a store credit and would prefer to just be paid outright. 

Does anyone know the shops in the Portland area that pay outright?  Thanks!

Hi Mamas~

I am an Urban Mama and have been so since the birth of my first born, 3.5 years ago. This site has given me endless valuable referrals and resources throughout the past 3+ years as a SAHM. Without UM, I'd have been lost as a new mom. Now with the recent birth of my second child I am looking to break out of my strict roll as an at home mama. That's how I landed the idea of opening a baby/kid/family friendly business in the wonderful baby-friendly town we live in, P-Town. I've gotten sick and tired of feeling uncomfortable in "normal" shops with my screaming babe. No matter how polite people may seem, the look of annoyance is always transparent on peoples faces when they don't have children of their own. I want a place all my own where the "wild rumpus" can commence without others batting and eye. I have a couple ideas of my own to ponder of what I may want to open. Also a few from my partner, another fellow Urban Mama. But regardless of what is swirling around in our heads right now, we'd first and foremost love to hear from you, other Urban Mamas and families in Portland. What kind of family friendly establishments would you love to see open up in your neighborhood? Any burning, yearning or clever ideas that you'd like to see come to fruition in this amazing town that we live in? We all know there are many kid/mama friendly clothing shops, renewable shops (aka: kids consignment), cafes,restaurants, toy stores, music, theatre, or art themed activities in and around town. But what what we'd like to know is: is there a shop or business you would like to see that you haven't yet seen in Portland, or something you feel that Portland is lacking in the family-friendly arena? Or perhaps something you'd like to see more of, maybe something you've experienced that hasn't fully met your needs or an idea that needs to be expanded upon. Or something truly different that you've been waiting for someone to start-up? Since we are all one in the same, mamas with families with kiddos that we want to cater or with (out without---mamas night?), your input is so valuable to us because we are a part of the community and are a part of you. We want to make something special happen for all of us in Portland with your input!

Thanks for all your time and support....

Haven't we done our fair share of cleaning up messes: under the high chair, under the car seat, and even attempting to remove the "washable paint" from the floor under the easel. Mimi the Sardine has come up with an answer: Floor mats that are eco friendly and machine washable too.

Each floor mat measures 36 x 46 inches and sports cute, brightly colored designs (jungle, pink flora, hybrid car). The fabric is made of organic cotton in Europe and then the fabric is converted to floor mats in California. The fabric is coated with a water-based acrylic ---- no plastic or PVC.  This acrylic coating does not contain any chlorines or DEHP. In fact the fabric meets the European Oek-Tex 100 Standard meaning the cloth does not contain chemicals or compounds harmful to health. And the production plant is monitored to assure healthy working conditions. And if that's not enough, the cloth can be wiped clean or machine washed. Just drop me an email at nlblair@kidzkupboard.com if you have any questions.

Kidz Kupboard is offering all Urban Mamas 10% off Mimi the Sardine floor mats. Just input "mamas" in the coupon box during checkout. And let the messes begin again. Click to take a look.
