Mudd Volleyball

Do you want to spend a day having fun and getting to know each other better? Well, if so, join me at this year's Fresno Mudd Volleyball Tournament!

I'm hoping to grab some of you, fire wives/girlfriends, to be a part of my team. Maybe we will have enough of you who want to participate that we will need several teams.

The tournament is on Saturday, August 22nd at 9am. There is a small fee to participate which goes to support the March of Dimes.

If you are willing to get down and dirty and have some fun, email me at LeslieFaridoni@comcast.net or call me at 978-9517. You can also check it out more at www.fresnomuddvolleyball.com.

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

Openings for Child Care

Hello, My name is Rebecca Freshwater, I am a 25 year old stay at home mom to a 2 year old boy, Hayden and wife to Matt.

I run a daycare from my home, I have been licensed> since June 2008 and currently care for an 11 month old boy. My husband informed me yesterday, February 26, 2009, that his position as Sales Assistant will be eliminated (They have not told him when this will take place.) This means> that he will lose his job. He has his Class A license so if his company has a driving position available then he would be able to drive. Obviously this is pretty scary.

I have a few spots available, so if you or someone you know need child care please let me know. I am located at Clinton/West. I am open from 8 am-5:30pm. I charge 25.00/day.
I provide meals, snacks, as well as quality childcare.

Please email me or give me a call.
My email is freshwaterfamily05@gmail.com
My phone number is 485-5395 or 287-3432

Thank You!

PART-TIME CHILDCARE NEEDED

Hello Fresno Wives:

My name is Wendy Killou and my husband (Sam Killou-A-Shift) and I recently added a new member to the family (Emma Sofia Killou). As much as I would love to be a stay at home mom, I need to return to work in next few months (anticipating to return in April or May). Emma will be ~4-5 months by then.

I have recently started the fun of looking for childcare. As you all may know, the childcare industry doesn't seem to be all that accommodating to the fire schedules. What we are looking for is someone to care for our daughter during the weekday (~7:30am-5pm) on the days my husband works (A-shift).

If you or you know of someone that provides childcare that works with the fire schedule or have questions, please email me. Any information is much appreciated.

Have a great day,
Wendy Killou
