Baby Massage

Hello everyone,

The lovely Valentina is back with us this week to treat us to another of her hugely successful baby massage lessons. Depending on demand she'll run one or two demos during this Friday's MtW, each lasting about 20 minutes.

Don't forget this the last Friday before we go FORTNIGHTLY - so there will be no MtW on March 4th, but we'll be here on March 11th, not on March 18th, but back on March 25th and so on and so forth - you get the idea! We'll post a timetable up with forthcoming events and dates ASAP to avoid any confusion!

So to celebrate the last weekly gathering we'll have tea, cake and plenty of chatter.

Hopefully see you Friday.

Very sad times...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone,

We'd like to let you all know that we have decided to change things at Mum's the Word.

Just four months after our launch, and after many fun Friday afternoons spent playing bingo, doing crafts, and swapping anything we can think of, we're finding ourselves out of pocket every week due to dwindling numbers and hefty overheads.

MtW is the only group of it's kind locally with the focus on activities for the parents. Our feedback from most of you is that this is a great concept, and that you will continue to come to the group. The problem is of course you can't all come, all of the time (thank goodness - we would never have enough cake!). Joking aside though, and it breaks our hearts to say this, we are going to have to stop completely if we don't get some more bingo-playing cake eaters to support us each week.

So, from February 25th (this Friday) we will start to run MtW every other week. We hope this will entice more of you to come each time, and will give us more time between Fridays to think up fun and innovative things to do.

We'd really appreciate your further feedback about the activities, the venue, the concept, and would like to hear any of your ideas, and whether you'd like to see MtW stay on the Stoke Newington parents' calendar. If any of you would like to get involved, running a 'Week of my Own' or making cakes, please let us know. The more of you who get involved, the more likely it is that MtW has a future.

It has been great getting to know you all, and we hope to keep MtW going for many years, so please email us to let us know what you think.

 

Thank you,

Make Mine a Manicure...

Hello, 'ello,

The daffs are up, the sun is at last beginning to shine (well, sort of!) and we're longing for spring to come and warm the cockles of our souls. So what better way to rejoice in the coming of the warmer months than to treat yourself to a manicure to add a little colour to your life...

We've teamed up again with Beautify salon http://www.beautifyn16.com/ (which is conveniently located right under Abney Public Hall) to offer you a Quick Manicure (nails shaped and finished with a colour or buffed to shine) for a bargain price of £5 - this is £4 off the regular price!

We will operate on a first-come-first-served basis, so when you arrive, and you want a manicure, we will give you a number (rather like Argos, or the cheese counter at Morrisons - but a little less chaotic we hope!) and then they will take place in that order. We think this is the fairest way of doing it. The salon is directly under the hall, down a flight of stairs - you are welcome to take your baby with you, but many mums prefer to leave their baby with a friend upstairs and enjoy a little Me Time...

We'll have the regular tea, cake and chat going on upstairs.

See you Friday.

Crafty Love...

Sometimes feel bad that you lavish all your attention on your little bundle of joy and not on your other half?? Well, now's the time to reset the balance because tomorrow at Mum's the Word we're making Valentine's cards! We've got all the stuff, you bring your creativity and a touch of romance. Ahhhhhhhh.
