Hello Everyone!
 
Our Monthly Meeting is this Wednesday and we are setting our sights on snuggling in with those that we care about. Our topic Baby & Child Wearing fits the bill as we call on local community experts (i.e. veteran moms and dads) to show us the ropes and share the reasons why “wearing baby” can work for you and your family. We hope that you will join us for this fun and enlightening meeting.
