Prenatal Event
I will be speaking this weekend at the Citibabes Prenatal 101 Event. I'll be speaking about raising well-rounded kids in the city, but there will be many other speakers, including my friend, the awesome Kristen Chase. Kristen is one of the founders of CoolMomPicks and author of The Mominatrix's Guide to Sex: A No-Surrender Advice Book for Naughty Moms, a frank and funny guide to getting your sexy back. In addition to me and Kristen, there will be some more traditional prenatal topics like Childbirth, Infant Sleep, Finding a Nanny, Prenatal Nutrition, Green Parenting, free spa treatments, a prenatal pampering lounge, plus raffle giveaways for strollers, consultations and a membership to Citibabes club. The event is on Saturday, May 8 from 11am-4pm at Citibabes SoHo (52 Mercer St). The event is free for Citibabes members and $20 for the rest of us. Reservations are required. Email info@citibabes.com or call 212 334-5440. If you want, drop me a line if you are going to come and I'll look out for you.
