International Babywearing Week is coming up!

It's almost that time of year again! Time for us to be thinking about International Babywearing Week. This year it is being held from October 6-12.

Our first BABiC meeting in October falls within that week and I am hoping to get some activities planned for us to enjoy. Last year the brunch was tons of fun!

A photo contest is also in the works. Look for more details soon.

The theme for this years celebration is Safe Babywearing. If anyone has any suggestions for activities we could do or things you'd like to see just post here or send me an email at contactBABiC@gmail.com

New Meeting Schedule

Long time, no post. I hope everyone had a good winter!

BABiC is changing direction here in 2010. We are going from a weekly meeting schedule back to a bimonthly meeting schedule. Our day (Monday) and time (6:00pm) and location (Organic Underground, 255 Front Street, Belleville) will not be changing at this time. Instead of meeting every Monday we are going to meet on the first and third Monday of the month.

Our next meeting will be on Monday, May 3rd. I hope to see everyone there!
