Modern Nursery & Bumbleride Sponsorship of Postpartum Education & Support Strollerthon!

Modernnursery.com is thrilled to announce our dual sponsorship, along with Bumbleride, of the first annual Strollerthon to benefit Postpartum Education & Support.  The event is scheduled for October 2nd and will take place in Cary, NC.  This morning of family fun will feature a three-mile walkathon for teams and individuals, entertainment and activities for children, Tot Trot races specifically for kids, and fun for the entire family.  Prizes awarded to individuals and teams. 

Postpartum Education and Support (PES) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the emotional wellness of mothers. We offer support for mothers and their families; provide resources for health care providers; and heighten public awareness of perinatal mood disorders. This good work was started eleven years ago by a mother who experienced postpartum depression and anxiety herself and didn’t want other women to suffer in silence. Every woman experiencing a postpartum mood disorder deserves quick and appropriate treatment. All money raised will help provide necessary services for mothers and their families.

In addition to our sponsorship, we will be forming the ModernNursery.com & Bumbleride Team.  If you can't make it to the actual event, please consider making a pledge, of any amount, to help support this terrific organization that has helped so many women and their families.  You can also support PES by shopping on modernnursery.com, pokkadots.com or wallstickershop.com. Simply enter the code PES10shp at checkout between now and the end of October and you will receive FREE shipping (for orders of $50 or more) and PES will receive a donation of 10% of the value of your order . For more details and information on the event or other ways to help, please visit the event site by clicking here or feel free to leave a comment here and we will email you back.

CoolMomPicks Back-to-School Shopping Guide selects product from Modernnursery.com

Did you catch the CoolMomPicks segment on the Today Show this morning?  Check out our Ecotot’s Bedside Book Caddy that CoolMomPicks recommends in their ‘Back to School Shopping Guide’.  

 Encourage your tot’s love of reading, and your love of a neat and tidy room with this bonsai book caddy. Made from just 4 pieces of 100% formaldehyde-free, FSC Certified real wood, this clever little caddy is accessible from both sides making it easy for tots to store and retrieve books of any size or shape all by themselves. Books literally fall into place as they are stored at a 45-degree angle. And because the spines face out and up, finding a favorite title is child’s play. Use it in the playroom, family room or at bedside. Enjoy years of use with a patented no tools assembly method and a lifetime construction guarantee. Like all ecotots products, our bonsai book caddy features an eco-friendly, non-toxic, water-based finish.
 

This caddy looks great and tots love having a place of their own to keep all their books and toys handy and at a level they can reach!  Check out coolmompicks.com and you can find a modernnursery.com special created just for their readers.
