Open Topic/Free Cycle 12/21/16
We love to open up the floor for WHATEVER is on your mind! Stop in and share, ask questions, or just meet other mamas. Whether it's about pregnancy, teething, sleep, or not even related to parenting, you are most welcome. Great to see old friends and make new ones.
We also do a Free Cycle (bring unwanted items you have--kid-related or not and take any items you can use. If there are leftovers, they will be donated.) We love this type of de-cluttering before the Holiday inundation.
We will also be evaluating and charting our future plans for the group. This group is for YOU,..we would love your feedback on how we can best serve you moving forward, or if there is no longer this type of support.
