Join Us In Giving Thanks for Small Businesses

by Glenni Lorick, IBCLC

This year we have so many reasons to be thankful. We continue to have a wonderful community of moms. Happy Papoose has taken up residence inside A Nurturing Moment offering lots of new baby-wearing options. Sew Me Happy has brought us lots of adorable custom made items. We have a good variety of locally made nursing necklaces and adorable accessories. And we are doing lots of lactation consultations!

It really distresses me to know that some stores are open on Thanksgiving, a day that should be reserved for family and close friends. In fact, I even started a Facebook Page last year - Thanksgiving is Not About Shopping! I've decided to try to avoid those stores that are open on Thanksgiving and spend my hard-earned money at stores that respect their employees enough to close tomorrow.

Years ago we opened really early on Black Friday, but there's really no need for us to do that. While we do plan to have our sale going on Friday, the day we are really excited about and focusing on is Small Business Saturday! We will have some Christmas treats available and encourage you to try out our hot chocolate, chai tea, latte or mochaccino! I think it's better than Starbucks (and a LOT less expensive!)
