Two Crafty Chicks

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

From IHM Mom’s Group:

Good Morning,
I just wanted to let you know of a fun place near IHM.  It is called Two Crafty Chicks.  It is located near the VA hospital off of Clairmont.  I took Mary Evelyn there yesterday and she had so much fun.  The theme for the day/week was birds.  The owner read the children a bird story and then the children had the opportunity to paint a wooden birdhouse to keep for their very own.  While the birdhouses were drying the children played with play dough, puzzles, and did some singing and dancing.  The cost is $7 for one hour class from 10-11am.  The age range is for 2-4/5 year olds.  They also have classes for th e older kids but those take place in the afternoon.  When you get a chance check out their website www.twocraftychicks.com & check out the information below.  Hope you have fun.

        Pediatric Dentist

        Saturday, January 19th, 2008

        Posted to IHM Moms group:

        I would LOVE to tell you about our new dentist.

        A few months ago another mom asked about a pediatric dentist and I went ahead and wrote down the info that others shared. We had a great dentist but it was TOO far away.

        Any way, All 3 of my kids (ages 3,5,6) have recently been seen by Dr. Eaton at Northlake Pediatric Dentistry and they all came out smiling!

        When the kids get there they watch a video about a dinosaur who goes to the dentist and then they look into the “magic” mirror too see the tooth fairy. Then the VERY nice ladies take them away to get their cleanings. The kids return with a bag full of goodies (not candy) and a photo of them and Dr. Eaton. They give all the other kids with me a treat as well.

        Dr. Eaton is very nice and the kids liked him alot.

        If you can’t tell….I am also VERY happy to have found him!

        My daughter, Lilly, (who is 4)  goes to Dr. Powell right by Northlake Mall.  She tells me she is in love with him if that helps.  They are wonderful there too.  She comes home with a bunch of stuff and they have movies playing in the waiting room as well as the room for their check up The practice is called Dentistry for children and teens and the phone number is 770-934-5900.
