We’ve once again had a busy sponsor month here at Out and About Mom. It is thanks to these Connecticut businesses that we can continue scouting fun outings to share with our readers!
Please take a moment to learn about the businesses that support Out and About Mom.
Our sponsors are gearing up for a busy fall season. Check out all that they have going on:
- For parent’s planning for the 2014 school year, The Independent Day School in Middlefield is holding an open house in November.
- The family friendly destination of Jessica’s Garden in Marlborough is holding their Fall Fairy Festival in October.
- Our site photographer, Kathryn Deane, is busy booking family sessions for the holiday season.
- And our newest sponsor, Stella & Dot Stylist, Tisa Marshall is kicking off two beautiful boutiques in October.
This month Shawna and I were also had the opportunity to donate a sponsor listing to a non-profit based in Fairfield, Connecticut. Moms in Training is a new branch of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and they are hosting a training program just for moms. As someone who recently got back on the exercising track with the help of a local Couch to 5K program, I know how much the support of a group can mean when you want to focus on getting in shape. What a great opportunity to work out with other moms and support an important cause.
