REALLY NEAT results! (please do also read the caution at the bottom of this post) The How To's Just take a ziplock bag and fill it…

We had a great afternoon with our momstown Edmonton Baby Basics group! 15 busy mamas came in from the cold to chat with Janelle from Mother Haven about being honest about motherhood. Mother Haven facilitates sharing circles in Edmonton that allow mothers to open up to each other.
