Friday Five 2/22/08
Happy Friday everyone! More fun links & need to know news to get you off into the weekend on the right foot!
The Artful Hand
Furniture, home accessories, jewelry, artwork and more! This eclectic shop in the Fort Worth Cultural District offers just about anything your imagination could dream up.. all handcrafted by local artists and completely one of a kind! The perfect destination when you need a gift for someone who has everything... or a special treat for yourself! :)
Gorbella's
This nonprofit group is working to create a family friendly community center of sorts, a coffee shop with children's play area and meeting/classrooms for moms to conduct business or just hold PTA gatherings! I've often lamented the school volunteer meetings held at McDonald's just because it was the only place we could occupy the kids long enough to get any work done, so the idea of a safe & fun spot that also has good, healthy food is a dream come true! Right now the organization is hosting a variety of playgroup fundraisers to raise money for the project, check out the website for more details!
Breast Milk for Cancer Patients
As a mom, and a woman, I just thought this story was amazing. That's about all I need to say! :)
Ecomoms
Move over soccer moms, the new trend in parenting is the "eco mom," at least according to this NYTimes article. Today's moms are growing increasingly conscious (and active!) about their global footprint and how to raise children both safely and responsibly in the new, greener world. It's a very interesting read with some links with advice for moms from other moms on how we can all work together to make this Earth last a little longer for everyone!
Junie B Jones at Casa
We love a good play at our house and I can't think of a better one to start off the new year than Junie B. Jones! Casa Manana is now showing the production, based on the hugely popular children's book series about a precocious kindergartener and her wild escapades. Shows this weekend through March 9th... don't miss it!
Have a great weekend everyone!
