Having a baby? BirthNetwork

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

I just learned about an organization in NWA called BirthNetwork.

BirthNetwork is an organization of individuals and professionals committed to helping women and families have a safe and fulfilling pregnancy and birth experience while empowering them in their role as health care consumers. They promote an awareness of evidence-based care and informed decision making through advocacy, information and support. They believe birth is normal, natural and healthy.

The 4th Tuesday of every month they meet at the Bentonville Public Library for a “Parent Topic Night”. Check out the nwakidsguide.com calendar for upcoming topics.

I would have loved to have this support when I had my babies.

The First Saturday of each month is Family Day at YouthCAN!’s Community Imagination

Studio.February’s Family Day will be February 2nd from 10-4pm. All families in

Northwest Arkansas are invited to create family themed art projects together.  This

and experiences. Then, design a quilt collage out of cut paper and fabric  to tell a

story about your family.  In addition to the quilting project, families are invited to slip!  Experiment with

slip, a form of liquid clay, to create a family memento using small pieces of fabric.  Additionally, the painting

studio will be open for everyone to come create an original masterpiece.  Choose one

project, or participate in all three.  This event is FREE.
