Wednesday, April 16th, Bump Brooklyn will be hosting a Midwife Mocktail night. Clementine Midwifery will
talk about the role of a midwife. I am personally really bummed not to
be making this as I have heard so much about Clementine (and Bluebird
Midwifery too for that matter). So if you are thinking of a midwife,
this is one of the most highly regarded practices in Brooklyn and
probably worth going to meet them. Space is limited so please reply to [email protected] if you would like to attend. 7 pm.
Bump Brooklyn at 464 Bergen Street.

My friend Mommy Poppins has found a great event that I wanted to pass on to you all….here is her post….
……..And that’s the idea behind the Young Child Expo and Conference being
held at the Hilton on Friday, April 18th and Saturday, April 19th. This
event, hosted by Fordham University and Los Ninos Services,
is designed to give parents, educators and early childhood
professionals direct contact with the leading experts, resources and
information in early childhood development today. One of the unique
things about this conference is that it covers the whole spectrum of
early childhood development from “normal” to the range of special
needs, including Autism. With an opening keynote from T Berry Brazelton, perhaps the
top early childhood expert, to the closing sessions on nutrition and
exercise from none other than the experts at Sesame Street, this event
is not kidding around when it comes to childhood. For more about the event, check out her blog .

poppy and fun. The exhibit goes from April 5- July 13, 2008. Here is the info: Japanese artist Takashi Murakami includes
