Oh, what a summer its been!

I?m writing from my ?Florida? office, (Kahwa Coffee House rocks St. Pete!) getting my daughter comfortably ensconced in her freshman year of college, while waiting for her brother to return from a summer of studying and living on a Buddhist monastery in Thailand. I can?t wait to see him this Tuesday. Oh what stories he?ll have to tell.

I kept extremely busy, as usual, while M.O.M. hosted 3 summer interns from the New York High School Of Art & Design. In addition to their helpful time with us, each intern created an exhibit for the museum, which will be on display when we reopen after our short break.

Abundant scheduling going on at M.O.M. We reopen to the public on Sept. 4th with our first fall kick-off event being an ?Intimate Conversation and Tea? with Suzanne Arms, brought to the museum by BirthFocus on Saturday, Sept. 8th at 10:30AM. Suzanne is a birth pioneer, ?Birthing The Future? and a birth activist and educator. More info is below, and our full calendar is available online.

The community play space and exhibits will be open Monday-Friday with new hours, from 10AM-6PM. Saturday is our ?private party? day ? to book yours simply write us at MOMmuseum@gmail.com or call 877.711.MOMS (6667). We specialize in performances, film screenings, workshops, birthday parties, baby showers and so much more.

Sunday is ?Family Day? with art, music and Story Time Under the Apple Tree from 11-5PM

General fees are $15 adults per visit, kids under 5 are free, over 5 are $5.00. Students are $12 and Senior Citizens are $13.

Exciting, break through things happening in our museum world, including a visit from Smith College, announcements about our new student run blog and administration of our recent MAP grant from AAM. Also, call for papers for our spring academic conference, coming May 4,5,6, ?is up online. As we continue to explore what ?family? looks like, papers and presentations on the subject of?A ?New? Motherhood?: Evolving Policies, Practices, and Families, will be discussed and disseminated at the upcoming conference.

Looking forward to being part of the ongoing Motherhood Movement and breaking new ground with the HER-story of women, mothers and families, worldwide.
