the brigade is grateful to Bart from the herbal heart for he has offered to give us a *private* class on children's health at NO COST! please respond to bambinobrigade@gmail.com to let me know if you plan to come. I did this class last week and felt so empowered as a mom. It taught me essential herbs to have in the home, things I can use around the house, and ways to empower my child's own body to do what it is intended to do.
Please join us! It will be a great time of learning! Babies Welcome!

a note about older children
we want everyone to feel welcome and included in Bambino Brigade!
most of the members of BB nashville hike wearing their children. we have members that wear children up to 18 months (or around 25 pounds). you are more than welcome to join our group if you have older children, however it may take longer than estimated on our trail rankings. If not wearing children, we cannot guarantee that other members will be able to take the time needed to have older children walking the entire way.
our mission with the brigade is to be able to get exercise and be in community with other moms while having our children close to us. if you have recommendations about how we can better suite mothers with older children, please email your thoughts to bambinobrigade@gmail.com.
**we are currently planning a new hiking day specifically designed for walking children. this trail will be less than a mile and allow for those little feet to walk, explore, and get some fresh air while mamas participate in a community of support and friendship!**

*new* day to hike
From here on out, we will have a schedule for trail options each week. We will have it broken down into “Easy,” “Moderate,” and “Difficult.” “Easy” trails will be for beginners and will allow any member to take their time. “Moderate” trails will be more intense and have a faster pace and be more of a challenge. “Difficult” trails will be intense, full-speed hikes with little to no stopping (unless little ones need to eat, obviously). As we all increase our stamina and ability, hopefully we will all be capable of “Difficult” hikes. That being said, we will always have the opportunity for new members (some that may have never hiked before) to be a part of our community! Never worry that you will be the only one on a certain trail. You will *ALWAYS* have someone with you.
This week – Wed, November 4, 9:30 AM
Easy
South Lake Trail (approximately 40 minutes) - about 1 mile
Moderate
South Cove, coming back South Lake Trail (approximately 1 hour) - about 2.1 miles
Difficult
South Cove, coming back back side of Ganier Ridge (approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes) - about 3.5 miles
Also, Lindsay and I will be hiking Percy Warner park trails on Thursdays. These are Moderate to Difficult trails (especially Mossy Ridge). You are welcome to come if you want a fast-paced, intense hike. We will be there around 9:45 AM. For directions, see our calendar!

the brigade
michelle - wife to john, mama to camden and adelicia
michelle is one of six mamas that went through the hypnobabies class with kate as the leader. after having her second daughter, a successful, drug-free VBAC, she felt a need for a community of women that exercised together and shared a common goal in mothering. michelle is a baby-wearing, nursing, co-sleeping, gluten-free, tree-hugging, recycling, herb-loving mama seeking to be gentler and more loving each day with all those she meets. she aspires to live the principles of attachment parenting and be more compassionate and patient. she has been hiking for more than three years and loves being outside. she frequents the mountains of tennessee and north carolina.
lindsay - wife to jason, mama to mina
lindsay is another of the six mamas in kate's hypnobabies class. lindsay is a life long lover of sports and is a true competitor at heart. other than getting her blood pumping, she loves good music, good food, family, and good conversation. she takes pride in her hometown of nashville and loves to support the local economy. she is in a beautiful relationship with her husband and finds parenthood amazingly fulfilling and wonderful.
liz - wife to Todd, mama to Charlie
charlie was born by c-section delivery after 29 hours of a glorious, drug-free, hypnobabies labor and some scary heart rate complications at the end. liz loves learning new things about natural birth, breast-feeding, baby-wearing, co-sleeping, cloth diapering, and anything that makes life as a new mom simpler and more fulfilling. she started hiking with the brigade after attending weekly meetings at nine months & beyond's "weigh to go, baby" breast feeding support group, looking for a way to get in shape while still getting together with other moms. liz also teaches private voice and piano lessons, and loves all things musical. she has three wonderful dogs, loves gardening, and enjoys roasting her own coffee.
kate - wife to jordan, mama to henry, elijah & charlotte
through 9 months & beyond, llc, she teaches hynobabies and is the director of lactation services. along with michelle & lindsay (mamas who took her spring 2009 hypnobabies class), kate began hiking with baby charlotte when the bambino brigade began. "every mama needs to find her 'village' of like-minded mamas; for me, the bambino brigade is my village. hiking with my daughter is an amazing experience for us both!"
