{ Playdate }

Our next Momtourage playdate will be on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd.

We're trying to get as many outdoor ones in as possible before the cold weather is upon us! So we'll be meeting at the Blue Slide Playground at Frick Park from 11:30-12:30. If that is over your lunch time, feel free to bring it with you!

*Please note* There is a playground on the corner of Forbes & Braddock as well, but we will be at the Blue Slide Playground. Click here for directions.

Blue Slide Playground
If you are traveling down Beechwood Boulevard and see lines of children heading down the street with cardboard boxes in hand, you know they’re headed for the Blue Slide. The popular playground at Beechwood Boulevard and English Lane takes its name from the slide built into the rolling topography of the land, but there is much more to discover here. A castle-themed playground occupies the lower level of the playground, ascending to the Blue Slide, and then finally to a climbing structure where kids can see the downtown Pittsburgh skyline.

Diaper Drive

Dr. Heather Starr Fiedler Of PittsburghMom.Com is organizing a diaper drive for the month of September.

*if you are able to bring any diapers to our playdate on Wednesday, I will take them to one of the drop-off locations.

{ Picture People - FREE portrait package }

Picture People is offering a free Portrait Package consisting of one 8x10, 2 5x7s, and 8 wallets of the same pose for those with new little ones. There is no session fee so if you have the willpower to only choose one pose and get the portrait package, you can get an entirely free photo session and portrait package.

*Note*
I did this last time they had this offer and it was great! It really was absolutely free. However, be warned - they take a LOT of great pics and it is very hard to choose only one pose! They charge $18 per additional sheet that you would choose. Really a great deal though! Picture People Studios are at Ross Park Mall & Robinson Towne Center.
