Another note, we got in the very popular blue/green color (model# BC7G).

Mom & Baby Pilates

Title: Mom & Baby Pilates
Location: Loving Touch Classroom
Description: Looking for a way to exercise and share a close bond with your new baby? This carefully crafted curriculum lets you share the intimacy of nursing, swaddling, and cuddling while experiencing all the great benefits of Pilates. Having a new baby to hold can be strenuous on your upper body, causing your shoulders to roll forward into a slouch, or what is call \”Kyphosis.\” To help correct this and prepare your muscles for the weight of your growing baby, Mom and Baby Pilates incorporates core activating breathing, arm and upper body strengthening techniques with simple mat exercises and props such as resistance bands and exercise balls. This class is encouraged for Cesarean recovery. Must be at least 6 weeks postpartum to attend. Pre-crawling babies are welcome to join class! Please have your Mid-wife\’s or Health Care Provider\’s approval before starting this class. Private classes available.
Start Time: 10:30
Date: 2009-07-28
End Time: 11:45
Happy Earth Day!
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
All of us here at Eco Baby Gear would like to wish everyone a Happy Earth Day Today! In efforts to help spread awareness on this day we want to encourage everyone to do something good for the earth today. If it is recycling all your old stored up soda bottles, plastic yogurt containers, milk jugs, or anything else that can be recycled. Use less water when taking a shower (maybe don’t even take a shower today!), ride a bike, bus, or car-pool with a friend. Plant a tree in your yard or start to grow your own vegtables in a garden. Use less electricity, don’t watch television today or turn some lights out. So all and all we hope everyone can do something to better our planet today and just be aware of the earth we all live on. We need to be aware on how we live so when all of our babies grow up they can have a healthy planet to live on. Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day Coming Soon…

Hey Portland Moms, Dads, Parents & Friends,
We just wanted to let you know in case you forgot that Earth Day is almost here! Every Year on April 22 is the celebration of Earth Day, this has been an ongoing event since 1969. Earth Day is a global holiday to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. [1] How can you help or take part in the celebrated tradition? Well for starters, if you live in Oregon you most likely already are aware of the green movement and probably already know about the importance of recycling, using less, your carbon footprint and being aware of what kind of products you purchase for your family. So we just wanted to remind people of this upcoming day and how each of us can help make a difference. Below we put together some good links for more information about Earth Day!

A Musical Playdate is party music themed story time, part Mr. Ben show, part musical instrument petting zoo, and 100% awesome!
"Mr. Ben plays live music for kids and families in and around Portland, OR. His shows are the perfect blend of entertainment and education. Your child can participate as much or as little as they choose -- they are free to explore new musical ideas and concepts at their own pace and in their own way.
So when you come to a Mr. Ben show, you can feel good about the fact that you are taking an active role in your child’s cognitive development, laying the foundation for their musical education, and helping to dispel the myth that only some people have musical potential. Who knew you could do all that just by attending a live children's music show?"
