CONSIGNMENT!!! Stores, sales, online, hand-me-downs, swapping with friends…no matter the form, used baby clothes, toys, books, etc are often as good as the nee thing. And…kids don’t know or care that it isn’t new! Save money, new cute outfits and books you haven’t memorized from reading so much…WHAT could be better?!?!
If anyone who has private insurance has checked out this site and is not calling because I’m not in network there are a couple things you can do.
1- CALL ANYWAY! I often can provide a private pay rate close to or equal to your insurance copay. Or, you can use your out of network benefit under which many insurances will reimburse you 40 – 60% of what you pay me. GETTING HELP IS THE PRIORITY!
2- Call your insurance company and complain. Especially if you are calling for therapy for a pregnant or postpartum woman. Many insurance companies are claiming that there are sufficient counseling services in the Bloomfield, CT area.
Thanks for your support and call soon!
Any Moms Morning Out group can be a great support but this one in particular holds a special place in my heart. If you are in the area, check it out. Moms Morning Out_mid way 2014 (1)
If you are feeling cooped up with the little ones, try heading to a mall. Early mornings at the mall are usually empty and you can check ahead to see if the mall has a kids play area. Some malls such as Manchester Buckland Hills Mall and the Danbury Mall have a carousel as well as play areas. Also, most malls have very nice Family Bathrooms with nursing/sitting areas and larger bathrooms/stalls. Infants don’t mind window shopping!
During potty training years, keep some plastic shopping bags and baby wipes in your car. You’ll be glad to have them if you ever forget the diaperbag and need to make a pitstop on short notice. 🙂

Hi!
Signed an endorsement on the 2020 Mom Project today! Check out what they are all about and consider endorsing the need for MH services for Perinatal Emotional Complications. www.2020mom.org/endorse
Moms need hope, resources and support. As a leader member of the CT Perinatal MH workgroup, I am working hard to bring what is needed to Connecticut.

New moms: If you don’t see a changing table visible in a public bathroom, try checking behind the door inside the handicap stall. Otherwise, using the floor (on a bag or changing pad) in the handicap stall can give you the space you will need as well. 🙂
