"From Pregnancy to Labor and Delivery & Beyond..."

September 2008 |
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the SEPTEMBER 2008 e-newsletter!
I am very excited this month!!! I came up with a new idea! One of my clients asked me if I knew of a "baby consignment store". I said "no". But so many of you are always telling me you have a rocking chair, a crib, baby items and don't know what to do with them now that you no longer need them. Well...why don't we try to help each other out??? With today's economy...we could all use extra money $$$ or could save some money $$$! Some new baby items are expensive and you hardly ever used some of them. Plus...we may even help the environment! Let's be GREEN! Let's recycle these no longer needed items!!!
Thus..."Diane's List"! ~ (located at the bottom of each newsletter). Each month I will list, at no cost to you, baby items or baby services.
Some baby items you should never purchase...like used car seats, crib bumpers, and "missiles" (for those of you who don't know me...that would include any flying objects in the car---like MIRRORS!). So, of course, those items I will not list. Have a box full of "barely worn newborn girl clothes"??? Have a bag of unused newborn diapers your baby outgrew but you don't want to just toss in the landfill??? Why not give it away or just for a few dollars!!! Example: * "Bag of unused newborn diapers---FREE to first caller" or * "Box of miscellaneous newborn baby girl clothes hardly worn---$10).
Do you have a baby nurse or nanny you are no longer requiring service from??? Can people call you and check the reference? Send me your name/contact information and their name/contact information and any special information you want people to know about that baby nurse/nanny (languages spoken, how long with you, etc.).
Let's help one another! That's it.
HAPPY AUTUMN everyone! September 22nd marks the first day of Fall ! Yeah! We made it through another South Florida Summer! I love Autumn! It's my favorite season! Ah...Fall season, the leaves, the slight "chill" in the air...he-he...I know...what chill? What leaves? ! ! ! Okay...a girl can dream, can't I??? Talk to you next month!

Car Safety!
The "Car Safety for Children" workshop was great last month! I, personally, am not able to install your seat, but something neat happened. The three dads-to-be who attended my class helped each other install their seats---after class! After learning what they needed to know, they were all able to help one another install the car seats correctly! PLEASE...come to class! It was shorter (and probably less painful :-) ...hehe ) than my childbirth class...and everyone learned a lot!!! Grab a friend, family member, Grandma/pa, your significant other, the nanny/babysitter...bring your seat and come to class!
