A giant Thank You to all the mommies - both new and experienced! - who showed up to help us celebrate our new Meridian class location at Settler's Park on Friday and Saturday!

We had a wonderful turnout on both days, and I'm so excited about bringing this new venue to our already stellar lineup of Stroller Strides classes!

A Plug for our Vendor of the Month

Our family took advantage of Lauren Harms's great offer to Stroller Strides moms for family portraits! As always, I think her shots turned out great. You can see some of the pictures from our family shoot on Lauren's blog. Pick up your coupons at Stroller Strides class, or contact me for more information!

Fun Charity Opportunity!

Hey mamas... One of our own, Andrea, passed along this great shopping, er... charity event. I think it sounds like a lot of fun. We all love some nice comfy jeans in the Fall!

Vendor of the Month: Shady Lane Studios

I am very excited to announce our Vendor of the Month program! Each month, one of our favorite local vendors will be offering special offers and discounts for Stroller Strides and Luna Moms Club members!

August's Vendor of the Month is the fabulously talented Lauren Harms of Shady Lane Studios and Ooh La La Photography.

I have had many opportunities to work with Lauren in the past and am always amazed by the quality of her work and her vision. Lauren specializes in newborn and child portraits, families, maternity, and has a special love for fairy/pixie/sprite photographs that are truly magical.

As you can see, some of our mommies have already enjoyed some special sessions with Lauren!

I am a believer that professional portraits are one of those things that are absolutely worth it, especially when the photographer has such an amazing eye and a "way" with children, and can really work some magic with Photoshop and cropping. During the month of August, Lauren will be offering some spectacular savings for you! Be sure to pick up your coupons and do your part in making some family memories!

Check out the AMAZING specials Lauren will be offering -- Just for Stroller Strides and LMC mommas!

-- $50 Off Any Family Portrait Package AND a Free 11x14 Portrait. A $125 Value! -

-

There will also be a fabulous raffle item at the end of the month: A Family Session and a Free 11x14. A $175 Value!

Thank you for supporting Shady Lane Studios and other great local businesses!
