Moms Group at Southeastern Guide Dogs

noreply@blogger.com (StayAtHomeMom) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:01:00 +0000

The Mommy and Me of Bradenton mom's group attended the puppy hugging event on Monday at Southeastern Guide Dogs. We had a great time and puppies were so sweet. Puppy huggers help 6 to 9 week old puppies become comfortable with people by interacting with them in the puppy kennel. Children under 15 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. The puppy hugging is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Here is a link to Southeastern Guige Dogs. http://www.guidedogs.org/

Our online chats are discussions on various topics and subjects. This is a fun way for moms to interact between playdates. The kid outings are at various locations throughout SarasotaBradenton and scheduled at least once per week. The times and days change depending on the weekly event. Lastly, our MNOs are held monthly.

Bean Pots

noreply@blogger.com (StayAtHomeMom) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 02:51:00 +0000

You might ask, well what is a Bean Pot?

Well according to Wikipedia, A bean pot is a deep, wide-bellied, short-necked vessel used to cook bean-based dishes. Bean pots are typically made of ceramic, though pots made of other materials like cast iron can also be found. The relatively narrow mouth of the bean pot minimizes evaporation and heat loss, while the deep, wide, thick-walled body of the pot facilitates long, slow cooking times.

I have a New Catalog for Home Interiors and almost half of it is filled with new merchandise.

One of the many things that is really cool is the Bean Pots, these are beautiful pieces and they even have coordinating baskets that you can purchase separately.

To see the bean pots, click on these links:

And here is a link to all the New Merchandise:
