Moms of Steel
Motherhood changes us. When we become moms, we become something stronger, more resilient, more beautiful than what we were before. This change happens in much the same way that iron ore is turned into steel. We're depurated in the intense heat of our experiences as mothers - like learning to cope with little sleep, making hard decisions about going back to work, caring for and worrying about sick children. The choices that we make as mothers - in service to our children and families - shape us powerfully and often painfully, like a hammer to hot metal. We are not the same as we were before.
But often this process burns off too much of our old selves.

Teach your baby to sign
I LOVE YOU

Touch Blue Sky offers many ways for you and your family to learn, practice and enjoy baby sign language:
- A 90-minute Introductory Workshop where you'll learn about the benefits of signing with your baby, how to integrate signing into your daily routine, and start your signing vocabulary with 40 signs.
- Playgroup Boom and Zoom - two different playgroup series that meet for six one-hour sessions. Both Playgroups include the essential basic starter signs but vary in the more advanced vocabulary.
- VaVOOM! Touch Blue Sky's new Toddler/Preschooler Signing Series that meets for eight 45-minute sessions.
