Swaner EcoCenter Has New Hours
Swaner EcoCenter is now open on weekends! Their new hours will be Wednesday - Friday from noon to 6 pm, Saturday 10 am - 2 pm. Closed on Sunday-Tuesday.
Prenatal Yoga Class
There are many benefits in attending a prenatal yoga class during pregnancy, benefits that are far beyond what you can receive in a regular yoga class. In this class, they teach you yoga exercises that help prepare you for labor, delivery and motherhood as well as breathing techniques you can use in labor. Regular attendance assures that you will consistently practice these exercises for greater benefits. Classes are Wednesdays from 5:30 - 7 pm at the park City Yoga Studio: http://eventful.com/parkcity/events/prenatal-yoga-ongoing-class-/E0-001-022053909-9
3 Guilty Pleasures That Are Actually Good For You: Alcohol, Chocolate, Coffee
http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com/article/the_3_guilty_pleasures_that_are_actually_good_for_you/3435
Sippi Grip
AMAZING product called the SippiGrip which is basically a "leash" for a child's sippy cup. BRILLIANT. Created by a mom - its great to have in on your stroller, highchair and diaper bag. The cup NEVER hits the floor and has a tight grip around the cup...check it out: www.sippigrip.com
Greenraising
Lisa Olson is the founder of Greenraising, an eco-friendly and fair trade school fundraising company. They just added 100% pcw recycled wrapping paper, produced chlorine free and with vegetable-based dyes. They're great looking and better for the environment. Best of all, as with everything they sell, 25% of the price goes to the charity of your choice: www.greenraising.com
Out to lunch
Organic juice boxes and seven-grain almond butter sandwiches are a start.But don't pat yourself on the back, yet Mother Earth: Lunch box waste makes up 3.5 billion pounds of garbage every year. Maybe it's time you moved your brood into Lunchopolis. Each adorably modern (and lead-free) insulated lunch box comes in a choice of three colors (lime, pink polka dots, and water) with a matching - and reusable - bottle and four stacking containers. Your kids are stylishly fed, lunch box waste is eliminated, and your ecofriendly reputation remains intact. Just like that. See? Who says there was no such thing as a garbage-free lunch? www.lunchopolis.com
Tracing
This is a neat website that some teachers are using to help the kids trace their names... trace/practice spelling words etc. It is called www.mymoondrops.com. It is sort of odd because it is a kids furniture website but if you look on the left side and click on "Cool Free Stuff" and follow the directions you can print out your own customized tracing pages!

We
want to keep the legitimacy, integrity and fun of Jane's List intact so

Note regarding products featured in our list: All of the products written about in Jane's List have been 'test-driven' by our editors, subscribers or friends and family who have NO affiliation with the product editorialized. If you have a product/book/restaurant, etc you would like our editors to consider writing about, please let us know. We are always happy to have you send us something for one of our reporters to 'field test' for review for potential inclusion in one of our letters.
And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone--that would be lame.
