expecting mamas

one thing that bambino brigade is IS a community of caregivers, banned together to support on another in the many opportunities of being with children and having children. one of our mamas, Kacy, is due to have Theo on September 22. we all know that means he could come at or around that time, or possibly weeks earlier or later :)

remember what it was like just before and just after having your little one?! what did you need? how did you feel? man, I wish I had this community THEN! so let's do our best to help out another mama that surely could use it!

we would like to set up a schedule to bring food to the Ellis family. they are not picky, but do not like raw onions or sweet potatoes and do not eat meat unless it's USDA Certified Organic, so vegetarian meals are great! if you would like to volunteer to watch little Felicity for mama, that would be a great help, too. if you are interested, email bambinobrigade@gmail.com.

happy hiking!

something to consider

when bambino brigade began its first hikes on wednesdays last July, we decided to meet at 9:30 AM so all the mamas with preschoolers could drop off then come. well... now, most of those mamas now have school-attending children and are dropping them off at 8 AM. that being said, to accommodate the most families, we are considering changing out wednesday morning hike from 9:30 AM to 8:20 AM, with intentions of leaving no later than 8:30 AM.

then, for the same reasons, we are considering changing our friday hike from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, so the school kids can still be a part of this beloved community they have helped to build. this hike would last about an hour and a half and may be followed by a monthly family-out-to-eat meet up.

hikes are on unless thunder and lightning are present!

happy hiking!
