Soothe Your Mind, Belly & Baby 


Ad_BabyBumpMBB

 

A good business should be good steward of the community. The way I see it, if you are going to ask folks to support you in your business, you must be willing to give back and support those who support you.

 

Make sense?

 

Also, when you have the resources, whether it's time, money, ideas or a network of other like-minded individuals, it just feels good to create something that is bigger than yourself and helps others.

 

This is exactly why local maternity boutique, Baby Bump, has launched "Mind.Belly.Baby." - a series of spunky classes that address the various aspects of what women can expect pre and post pregnancy.

 

Just to give you a taste of what's to come:

 

Prenatal AM Yoga 

July 9 @ 8:30am

Addy Meisenheimer is a doula, yogi and baby whisperer. If you haven't met her yet, you're missing out on some kind of cosmic karma.

 

Taste & See: Popsicles, Pizza & Trail-Mix   

July 12 @ 6:30pm

Erin Engelhardt BSN, LMT will show expectant mothers how eating foods with great health benefits is really quite simple. She will cover nutrition facts on a range of foods, especially seafood.

 

 Baby Eat This. No, Baby, Not That!   

July 19 @ 6:30pm

Erin will teach us how to make nutritious baby food at home and what you can and can't do when it comes to feeding baby.

 

Breath & Connect

July 21 @ 6:30pm

Addy will teach expectant moms how to relax and unwind with breathing techniques and aromatherapy.

 

The Dirty Third

July 28 @ 6:30pm

Addy gets down and dirty with the truth about the third trimester and the birth of your baby.

 

Classes range from $10-$15 and include catered deliciousness compliments of Cafe Rani.

 

Check out Mind.Belly.Baby for more information. These classes provide such great opportunities to learn new things, meet local experts who are truly respected in our community and, most importantly, make new friends with those traveling along the same path.

nolaParent Picks
My husband is hell bent on creating an edible garden...that's edible. So far, the only ones enjoying the fruits of his (er, our) labor are the neighborhood birds. Oh, and the cats, if you know what I mean. And, if you DO know what I mean, you'll be excited to learn that the New Orleans Botanical Gardens has launched a wonderful Growing Gardeners program for 6-9yos where kids get to play, discover, harvest, make snacks, create art, and learn all about gardening and nature. This Saturday they'll make mint ice cream with fresh mint from the garden.

Looking for something different? Bayou Segnette State Park in Westwego has a series of FREE nature programs for kids through July. This Saturday is Kids Crafting Nature @ 10am.

Kids will be introduced to a nature topic and will make a craft to take home.

 

Happy 4th! Check out Uncle Sam Jam Lafreniere Park Music & Fireworks this Sunday and Go 4th on the River on Monday! Happy 4th! 

 

Parent's Choice Award Winner and Celtic musician, Danny O'Flaherty, has put together a totally interactive and good old fashioned 4th of July Celebration this Sunday @ The Deutsches Haus in Metairie.

 

Back talk and eye rolling. Howling at the moon and other nighttime parenting acts. Yelling...and what to do instead. Positive discipline. Food fights. These are a few of the  parenting programs offered at The Parenting Center at Children's Hospital over the next few weeks.   

 

While I believe that charging full price for 1yos is absurd, I feel obligated to inform you that The Wiggles will celebrate their "Big Birthday" July 10 @ the Mahalia.

Child Development Research Study

The Tulane University Infant and Toddler Project is currently conducting research on how young infants learn how to use various every day feeding tools such as cups and spoons. We are also studying how young children develop motor control and plan motor movements. We are currently recruiting parents with children from 2 months of age - 18 months of age to participate in these studies! Parents will be with their children at all times and each child will pick out a toy to take home in thanks! If you are interested in learning more and / or participating, please contact us at infanttoddler@tulane.edu or (504) 247-1856.
