[16 Dec 2009|01:04pm] |
I'm looking for piano instructors in the North Fulton/East Cobb area. Does anyone have personal recommendations of someone that they love and know would be good with kids (ages 4-6)?
Thank you in advance.

| Consignment stores around town? |
[09 Nov 2009|12:23pm] |
Hey Atlanta Moms, anybody still out there? :)
Over the last few months I have been working on a major house overhaul. It's time for me to find new homes for the nursery furniture (convertible crib and dresser), nursery decor, maternity clothing, boys clothing from 12months-2T, TONS of shoes, toys, baby carriers, cloth diapers, etc. I listed all of this stuff on Craigslist (would be happy to share links if there's any interest) but I was also wondering if there are any decent consignment stores around town anymore? I live in Tucker but am willing to take this stuff anywhere inside the perimeter or in the greater metro Atlanta area.
Thanks!

| Atlanta On the Cheap |
[10 Aug 2009|11:25am] |
Recently, I found a wonderful website called Atlanta on the Cheap. The woman who runs the website finds and publishes free or cheap events all around the Atlanta metro area. You can find the information either on the website, or sign up for an email newsletter.
I cannot recommend this newsletter enough. In the past two days, I learned about discounted Braves tickets, free kids meals at various restaurants, and 80% off gift certificates at Restaurants.com (which translates into paying $0.60 for a $10 gift certificate). Plus Atlanta on the Cheap lists free/discounted theater tickets. At the end of the month, I'm taking my kids to see "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" at the Fox Theater, with buy one get one free tickets.
Most days, I get one or two emails from here, though some days I get three or four. But overall I love this website.

I have just come to the conclusion that sometimes the "super big problem" is just a natural consequence.

| Girl's Youth Basketball |
[02 Aug 2009|11:19pm] |
My 11 yr old daughter is interested in doing basketball this year but I'm having a hard time finding any information on joining a league online. She's naturally very athletic but as this is her first year I'd prefer to find something that's not so competititve so she can get her feet wet.
Thanks much in advance for any help.

I am about to make my first post baby swimsuit appearance. I was thinking a little color would help, but am all about the sunblock these days after the follies of my youth. Where is a good place to go? Affordable? How do they handle sand and surf?

If not, mods please feel free to delete it. However, remembering the post a few weeks back about the Labs who needed a home made me realize I was neglecting a resource.
Right before Christmas last year (2008), I found an abandoned Maine Coon mix in the parking lot of our apartment complex. I brought her home, fed her, and started looking for her owners. When no one claimed her, we decided to let her stay with us and our 2 neutered male cats. "Princess", as we call her, does NOT get along with our boys, and we simply cannot keep her. She appears to be less than a year old, but it is hard for me to tell, since I am not familiar with Maine Coons. She is extremely affectionate with older children and adults, but does not get along with our 4-year old son. She would really prefer to be an only cat in a home with older kids, but at this point I just need to find her a home. I hate to give her up - she's very loving and affectionate, talkative, playful, and a beautiful little girl. Each and every "no-kill" shelter/rescue I have contacted is packed to the brim, and no one can take her. If we are unable to find her a home very soon, she will have to go to Animal Control, and that's a death sentence these days. If you are interested, please contact me at selawton at bellsouth dot net. I'll put a couple of pics of her behind a cut, to save your friend's page...

Thanks for reading and for looking.

| Baby Steps Pickles & Ice Cream Social |
[26 Feb 2009|08:17pm] |

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=48359167299
Please join us on Saturday, February 28, 2009 between 9:00 am and noon for the Baby Steps FREE Pickles & Ice Cream Fair. The event will be held at Life University. This very special event will introduce Life University's new prenatal, birth, breastfeeding, and parenting services to the community. There will be many family-related businesses present, offering samples, door prizes, information, and free food. As always this event is free and open to the public.
This event is a great opportunity for expecting parents to meet Baby Steps teachers and doulas in person, as well as other pregnancy & birth related professionals. When choosing a childbirth class or doula one important element that is sometimes overlooked is having a personal connection with the teacher or doula. A class is much more enjoyable if you like the person teaching! So before you make a financial commitment, come and meet us! Enjoy some free snacks and ask any questions you may have about classes & other services.

| Home Needed |
[12 Feb 2009|04:05pm] |
This was passed along to me, from Decatur:
Package deal!
Please pass along to all family, friends, coworkers - spread the word and
help find these two adorable labs a home.
Two females, both have chips implanted - well cared for. Family losing home.
Desperate to find loving home.
Already housebroken, trained, love kids, spayed, up to date on
shots....what more could you ask for.
But must stay together. Thes
e are life long friends.
Contact: Katherine at:
kjmorris74@yahoo.com
Thanks for your help spreading the word. Read their story below.
The story...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
This family has lost their home and the apartment does not allow dogs.
They are looking for a home for the two Labs. See below.
As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have
still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco .
We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been
desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They
were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue have already
said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort.
Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY
refused to even get into the car without Cookie.....!!!! She absolutely
pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side.Both doggies
are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under
the skin.
Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco will be 3 April 1st. Cookie is
my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably
funny and lives for her "ball". She also loves the water..... Cookie
loves lots of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They
have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and
have survived Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so
they
are fantastic family dogs. This is by far one of the most difficult
decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no
choice.
Please, Please forward these pics to all you know and help me find a
great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's
heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could
find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them.
I pray that someone, somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco
together, and love them just as much as we do. Thank you all from the
bottom of my heart.

| Charities? |
[02 Feb 2009|10:06am] |
I am looking for good charities that benefit children - primarily in terms of food, shelter, medicine - the basic necessities.
They can be local, national, or international. I just want organizations that really help. Ones that if I give money to them, the bulk of it reaches the people who need it.
I thought a community of moms might be a good place to ask about charities for children. Do you have any that you are particularly impressed with?

| Georgia Cutting School Nurses |
[21 Jan 2009|08:15pm] |
|
I do not know if many parents know about this, but the state of GA is planning to cut school nurses as part of their budget cuts. This is a very potentially dangerous move on behalf of the state that could endanger the lives of many of Georgia's school children. Special needs children who are on feeding tubes, oxygen, and other medical needs will lack the medical support they need to safely attend school. Other children who have severe allergies or chronic medical conditions like asthma, diabetes, or seizures who require things like an epi pens, insulin, diastat, or inhaliers to be administered in an emergency will now risk not having a trained nurse there to provide first aid to a child who needs it. Leaving the dispensing of medications or the decision to call for the assistance of a paramedic to an office staff worker with no medical training can be very risky. Please consider contacting your local state representative or the governor to voice your concern about this issue. http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/FindLegislator.htm This website can tell you who your representative is. This does not just impact special needs kids. This affects ALL of Georgia's children.
