If
you're a mother you know what I'm talking about when I describe that
low belly sag that will not go away regardless of how many sit-ups
you do. Restore the Core is a mat based pilates class for moms
of all ages and fitness abilities. Restore the Core will give
you the power to re-establish your midline, lose the sag, strengthen
your core, and help prevent injuries. This is also a wonderful
class for restoring your mind and spirit. To find out more and
see what you can do to re-train your core and flatten your mid section
come try Restore the Core.

Writer's
Workshop for Mothers
Presented by Heather
Janssen
If
you've ever been moved to laughter or tears by a well-written story
about motherhood, then The Motherhood Writer's Workshop will be a fantastic
outlet for you to either begin your own journey of writing, or
continue what you may have already started through journaling or scrap
booking. Don't be intimidated if you think you're not a writer--we're
all storytellers (just yesterday you phoned your mother about that
funny thing that your kid said, remember?), and getting it on paper
will prove to be both cathartic and entertaining. Heather Janssen,
the co-founder, publisher, and editor of a local literary magazine
for mothers will be facilitating this workshop
