For those of you asking about our co-owner’s progress, she discharged today after a harrowing couple of weeks in the ICU, undergoing 2 emergency craniotomies. She is doing well and grateful for all of the well wishes. 💕

This about sums it up!

Free leftover stuff! Free sectional couch, outdoor play house, train table, shoe cubby, storage unit, desk, retail display, ikea office chair, and mud kitchen. Other random stuff probably as well.

Everything will be in our front courtyard besides the couch. Feel free to walk in take anything you may want.

No holds. First come first served. I do not have measurements of anything by you can go look at things, as the courtyard is open.

Leave a comment to setup a time to pick up sectional if you want it.

First come first served.

School is back! That means so are the buses. Do you know what the laws are in Missouri for stopping for busses? Remember kids can be a little unpredictable so even if you don’t have to stop, slow down and exercise caution!

We are on a quest to promote kangaroo care and skin to skin, both in the NICU and well-baby units, in hospitals throughout the country.

We are looking for parents in the St. Louis area who did kangaroo care or skin to skin in the hospital after birth or in the NICU who would be willing to be interviewed about their experiences.

Please email [email protected] if you'd like to help with this very important project.

Please help us get the word out!

Have a safe Independence Day! We'll be closed *Tuesday and Wednesday* to celebrate! Come enjoy Storytime on Thursday at 10, relax on our comfy couches while you recover from the shenanigans!
