Motherhood Balance:
an In-depth Moms Group
Thursdays, 11:30 - 12:30
Are you a mom finding that this motherhood thing is more challenging than you thought it would be?   Yes, the baby is cute, but how are YOU?  How do you connect with your baby or toddler more?  Join this group for an in-depth discussion with other moms who are searching for more meaning in their everyday mothering.  Led by two very experienced moms:  Lois Freedman, author, maternal mental health counselor and mother of two grown children, and Cindy Morningstar, child development specialist and mother of 13 children.  Your first visit is free.  Come this Thursday at 11:30.  You'll be glad you did.

MoCo Holiday Brunch
    ...you're invited!

Saturday, December 19, 10am - 2pm

Brrr...it's cold outside! Come on over to get warm, enjoy some brunchy food and drink, see old friends, meet new friends and just enjoy the day. 
During the party, you can also learn more about our groups and classes and then register for 2010.  Don't forget to do some last-minute holiday shopping for the parents, babies and kids in your life, too! 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!  This year we again ask you to bring something for the Worcester County Food Bank.  Did you know that some of the hardest hit families this year are those with young children?  If you can help by bringing a bag (big or small) of non-perishable (but healthy) foods for those who are in need of food this holiday season.  We'll take care of bringing it to the food bank before the holidays are over.
And don't forget that this month we're open 10am - 7pm Monday - Thursday and 10am - 5pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

We hope to see you very soon--and that you'll include Mothers & Company on your list of places to stop this month.

 
Sincerely,

Diaper Free Baby Discussion

Saturday,
December 12

11:30 am, FREE

We had many requests for information on this alternative way of parenting and simultaneously saving the planet, so if you've been curious about it, join us!

Come learn about Elimination Communication or "EC" from local families that practice it. Find out ways you can start to offer your baby "pottytunities" and get them closer to being diaper free. This open discussion and Q&A is open to everyone--feel free to bring the whole family!

For more information on the concept of diaper free baby, see this website, started by a mom in Newton!
Great Gift Idea!moco moola gift card
Ask for a MoCo Mooola gift card this year...
Who can go wrong with something that not only fits nicely in your wallet, but looks cute and buys exactly what you've been yearning for at MoCo.  Class, group, toy, lotion, bra, or sling...a gift certificate says "I love you" every time.  Or, ask your loved ones to get you something that cleans and moisturizes but smells nice and is all natural.  We carry California Baby, Earth Mama Angel Baby and Indigo Wild, to mention our very favorites.  Anyone, at any a
age, loves them!
