We’d love for your family to join us for a FREE event this Saturday, October 1st from 10AM to 2PM.  We are joining Philly Parent Circle to Celebrate Play at  Smith Memorial Playground in Fairmount Park.  In addition to the 40 foot giant wooden slide and incredible play-space that Smith is known for, we have invited some of your favorite local businesses to showcase their offerings to your families and bring you a taste of all the amazing resources our neighborhoods have to offer.

Each local business joining us Oct. 1st has planned their own activity to share! Grab your “Passport to Play” and visit each one.  You’ll touch and learn about live animals from our friends at Riverbend Environmental Education Center, do an art project with Palette Kids, learn a little French, Spanish, and Mandarin from our friends at Lango Philly, decorate cupcakes with Brendenbeck’s Bakery, enjoy a DjembeJam session with Learn Listen Play, and rock out to a musical performance to Mama Mac.  Please click here for a complete list of all the fun!

We are excited to offer mini-photography sessions by the very talented Stephanie Glover. Such great timing to knock holiday photos of your to – do list and at such a great location.  Painless!

There will be Fingerprinting and safety information by Trooper Danea Durham, as well as car seat safety info presented by the PA Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Maggiano’s of King of Prussia and of Philadelphia are providing lunch for FREE and asking that families make donations instead, to Smith Playground.  We’ll also have a lemonade stand run by the PPC kids, with 100% of the proceeds with go to Alex’s Lemonade Stand.  Come out and support them as they give back to our community too.

We can’t wait to see you there!  Pre-register here.  The first 200 people to register will receive a free goody bag!

In the event of rain, this event will be held one week later on October 8th, 2011.

Premier Baby Concierge was one of the sponsors of the latest G.L.O., Girls’ Lunch Out, this past weekend at 8 East Bar.  A great opportunity to meet and network with local bloggers and business women, G.L.O. offers sponsors an excellent way to connect with 50+ of Pennsylvania, New Jersey & Delaware’s social media-savvy movers and shakers.  G.L.O. offers great food, networking, swag bags & door prizes, and, of course, lots of tweeting! (#GirlsLunchOut)

We reached out to Dapple to partner with us on this sponsorship and they immediately “got it!”  G.L.O. attendees received Dapple’s “Green, Clean & Baby Safe” Dish Liquid and also Toy Cleaner Spray.   Made from baby-safe ingredients, better for the environment, yet also strong enough to do the job removing milk residue from bottles and sticky fingerprints from toys, Dapple products *rock* and now G.L.O. members can check them out first hand.  Dapple products are available at all the big box stores and by the case on the website: www.DappleBaby.com (@DappleBaby for you twitter folks!).

The Happy & Healthy Mom Fair was a great success thanks to all involved!  Great sponsors (Mother’s Milk Tea & Belly Pilates), local vendors, seminars, mommy make-overs and, of course, the awesome giveaways and VIP Swag Bags made our event shine!  So many people contributed to the Fair and we’d like to thank them all, from those you met at their tables to Please Touch Museum and the awesome sponsors and companies that sent products to share with our moms (ahem, Britax, Pediped, Baby Bjorn & way too many more to name!), to the restaurants that hosted our pre- and post- parties (rough work, but we had to go! Thanks Derek’s & Manayunk Tavern), from the logo design that started it all (Baby B Designs) to last minute computer support (Voonder) and the PBC interns who lent their time to make our first event the best it could be!   If you missed it, check out the photos (Linda Morrow) (and we’ll add the video soon!) and stayed tuned for future events!  Vendor tables sold out in a heart beat and VIP Swag Bags were spoken for, so don’t miss your next opportunity!  If you are on twitter, follow us at @HappyMomPHL and our twitter list of all involved.
