Great site for new moms
I wish I had seen something like Wee Welcome back then. It's a new site for Canadian moms, especially moms of babies under one who live near Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa.
In their own words:
Our goal is to help Canadian moms get the most out of their babies’ first year – to have a baby and a life. To that end we are:
* Shining a light on baby-welcoming locations through our print and online guide.
* Helping moms connect through our moms’ group community.
* Providing no-crap, original articles that don’t pander.
* Leading events that make sure you get out and have a good time.
And that’s just the beginning.
We’re working to create a more baby-welcoming society, where moms breastfeed longer, are more connected to other moms, and are busy, active and happier. Happy moms make for happy babies.
I love their "Go" feature. It lists local places that are "baby welcoming", and provides a list of ammenities offered by each location. There are also places to form online mom's groups, and some great articles - including some written by one of my favourite authors. Even if you don't live in Vancouver, Toronto or Ottawa, it's worth a few clicks just to page through and see a great idea well executed.
(P.S. In the interest of fair disclosure, I should probably mention that I found this site because one of the co-founders, Jody, sent me a note and told me to feel free to mention Wee Welcome on my blog, if I felt so inclined. After I came down off the high of being considered a big enough fish to have blog mention solicited, I clicked through and realized that I would have promoted this site even if I'd stumbled upon it independently. But it sure was nice to be asked!)
