Childcare Help
Hello Fire Wives:I originally posted a need for part-time childcare back in February 2009 and was lucky to find someone to take care our daughter, but I was recently informed that she no longer will be able to take care of her. So, I am in the hunt again.
I should tell you a little about us and what we are looking for. My name is Wendy Killou and my husband is Sam (Engineer on A-shift) have a 9 month old daughter named Emma, for which we need to find part-time childcare for her starting in October 2009. I currently work for the State full-time and as you may know, we are currently furloughed, so I have the first three Fridays off every month until June 2010, which is working out great so far to elevate the need for more childcare days.
We are looking for someone that can provide daycare in their home anywhere from 1-3 days per week depending on schedules. I did get many responses back in February, but did not know whether the same people would be interested or if there may be new families that would entertain the idea. If you are possibly interested or know someone that may be interested, please email me at wkillou@gmail.com or call me at 559-269-3985.
Thank you,
Wendy Killou

Handmade Nursing Covers by Katrina Arthur
Hello Ladies,
My name is Katrina Arthur. I have recently opened an online store are know that word of mouth is the best advertisement for handmade items. With that in mind I would like to extend an invitation to you.
As we welcome new members into the Fire Family, each nursing mom is looking for a fashionable yet discreet why to bond with their new baby with out being coped up in some back room.
This is why I created my nursing covers. Although my son is passed the nursing stage I have opened an online store to share my product with other moms. I can be found at www.kcartncrafts.etsy.com, where you will find handmade nursing covers and burp cloths.
Each Nursing Cover is handmade by me with 100% cotton, high quality fabrics and is fully lined.
The unique angled design provides nursing mothers and their babies with the utmost privacy. I created this design after trying a few traditionally shaped nursing covers, but found that my son's sweet but very sneaky hands, feet or sometimes both poked out leaving me feeling a little exposed. To solve this problem I created this design, so that I could tuck the sides behind me and keep us covered in any situation.
The sturdy boning in the neck line enables Mom to keep an eye on her little one, and the adjustable neck strap with "D" rings means she can customize the fit for comfort. I suggest that once you have found your ideal strap length; tie it off in a simple knot for easy and quick wear.
Each Nursing Cover comes with a matching Minkie Burp Cloth does as good a job cleaning up as it is cute. But, it feels so good you might want to keep it for yourself.
I hope to be able to share this diaper bag staple with you or your friends. Each item comes gift wrapped and ready to give.
Thank you for your support,
Katrina Arthur
