One of my very favorite stores in Madison is Happy Bambino. Part beautiful pregnancy and baby store, part parental resource center, Happy Bambino was a cornerstone of my early motherhood experience. When Andrew was a newborn, I attended a weekly mom’s group at Happy Bambino; and it was in that cozy sunlit room, surrounded by a dozen other nursing mamas, that I got my parenting sea legs. I met mamas in that group who have become dear friends, and there’s a group of about 12 of us who still keep in touch. How special it is to know a crew of now-five-year-olds and to remember so clearly what they were like as newborns. Early parenthood can be a scary and exhilarating time of charting unknown waters. I’m so thankful that Alison and Lea founded Happy Bambino and that it’s available as a resource to Madison moms.
I’m excited to share that I have an exhibit of my photography hanging in the classroom at Happy Bambino this fall. It was so fun (and challenging!) to pick a dozen images to enlarge and frame and hang. If you’re in town, stop by 4116 Monona Drive and head back to the green classroom to check it out!
I’ve scheduled a family-friendly opening fete on Saturday, October 9 from 11-1pm. There’ll be food and games, so drop on by! Hope to see you then!
That’s so exciting! Congrats on having your pictures shown in such a neat place. 🙂
I wish I could be there…are the pics you selected up on your flicker account anywhere?
Bode and I are doing Music Together at Happy Bambino and we noticed your beautiful pictures! I'm sure you're taking tons of pictures in this beautiful fall light 🙂
Thanks for your nice note, Tonya. I hope you and your kids are able to make it to the opening on Saturday!
