Greetings!

Hello!

Great news!!  We are now open until 7PM every Friday!  Get a babysitter, do some shopping, and then maybe go out to dinner or a movie!!  Meet your friends and chat while you shop!

If you have too many grocery or shopping bags piling up in a closet somewhere, you can bring them to us.  We will be happy to re-use them here at Mother & Child.

Sick of the rain?
Come in and get a dose of "Spring"  at Mother & Child:




Found a great website that I know many of you will love!  www.alternativegiftregistry.org
Why Alternative Gifts?
Do you want to plan an event that emphasizes time spent with loved ones and de-emphasizes store-bought gifts? Do you want to give a special gift to someone you love that focuses on the bond you share, rather than something that costs a bundle and may not be what they really want?
We all love giving and receiving gifts; it's important to our culture and good for the spirit. When the gifts we buy don't match our values, however, they can distract from, rather than deepen, the meaning behind an event, despite the best intentions of those involved. The cost to gift-givers-not to mention the environmental impacts-also adds up quickly.
Fortunately, for many brides, grooms, parents-to-be, and other gift recipients, less truly is more. By encouraging non-material, second-hand, homemade, and environmentally friendly gifts, we seek to continue the proud tradition of gift-giving while helping celebrants focus on what matters most: a joyous commemoration with loved ones that honors the important moments in their lives.


New, this week:
Moby wraps in Pacific Blue!
Ringley, organic cotton and untreated maple teether!
new activity books from Klutz!

May Product Highlight: re-useable instead of disposable
klean kanteen

Bring your own water or drink from home.  This will save you money and reduce the number of plastic bottles you need to recycle. 

 Recycling is better than using new raw materials, but recycling still requires energy and resources to get the used bottles to the recycling plant, and to make them into new products.  

Re-using your Klean Kanteen is better for the environment and better for your health, AND it will save you money over buying single-use bottled-drinks.  :)

We sell Klean Kanteens in a variety of colors, so that each person in the family can have their own color!

BTW:  the Klean Kanteen and the crocheted bottle holder with the long, shoulder strap would make a great Mothers' Day gift for any Mom who likes to walk.

Sharing Ideas
Money-saving ideas from customers and employees at Mother & Child:

Tip of the week:
Are you having trouble finding clothing for your preteen's changing body?  At Mother & Child you will do well to look in the size 10, 12, 14/16 racks AND look in the "big boys'"  and/or "junior"  girls' clothing sections.  These sizes are generally, but not always taller and slimmer than the 10-16.  Also, we have quite a selection within the 10-16 sizes which often come in slim, regular and husky sizes.

Spring is here and now is the perfect time to plan a trip to the Back Bay in Boston!  Plan to walk around the Public Garden, take a ride on the Swan Boats, grab lunch at an outdoor cafe and... visit Keara at
Oak,
 245 Newbury Street.  --right next door to DeLuca's Market.





Spring is also a great time to visit Paul at
1 World Trading Co.
 

at 111 Main Street, Nashua.  If you can plan to spend the afternoon, you may like to have a salon treatment at Verde, a green salon and then have lunch at the  Seedling Cafe!
