Do you have an event you want to add to our list? We are happy to list your event in our weekly blog posts. Any event, class, support group or meeting that fits into our philosophy of pregnancy, childbirth and parenting will be considered for our listing. We reserve the right to decline requests that do not promote healthy families and peaceful parenting.
To submit your event:
Please follow this format (same as above). Anything that is not “copy-paste” ready may not be posted – it will depend on how much time I have between homeschooling and loving on four littles. If I don’t sleep, it seriously impedes my ability to be a peaceful mama, and that is not fun for anybody. Thank you for understanding!
