If you are looking for a different kind of experience for your little one (ages 4-6 years) this summer, you might just want to consider Happy Belly Summer Camp.

I am always searching for more ways to support the dads out there. If you come across any new groups, classes, etc. please let me know so I can post it. If you search under Dads on my blog, you will also find more resources.

Here is a new East Bay Dad’s group that is being coordinated by Tim Clarke.

“Hi All,

While some of you may know me, most do not. My name is Tim Clarke and I
left the workplace in July of 2012 to be a full-time stay-at-home dad since
July 2012. I have 2 boys ages 3 1/2 and 1. I know that there are more of
you out there, and thought it might be sort of an interesting experiment to
see if others would be interested in seeing how “the other half lives.” I
just read a funny email that said there was a dad out there who feels that
his wife can’t leave the house without tripping over a mom’s group, but
there are no groups for dads. Interestingly, I had to try several
iterations of the Group Name before I found one that wasn’t already in use
by Google, so somebody out there is doing something.

This group is being created to support potential interest for dads living in
and around the East Bay for discussion, advice, meetups, and general overall
guy parenting stuff ;). While the immediate goal is to serve stay at home
dads, it is by no means intended to exclude any dads in the East Bay
interested in joining the conversation.

Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, and let’s see what happens!

Here is the email address for the group:
ebdadsgroup@googlegroups.com

And here is the URL
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ebdadsgroup

I’ll also include a tiny URL for the owner contact (me) – please let me know
if you or someone you know would like an invite sent.

Thanks,

Want baby food that is sourced from local, organic food? Than you must know about Vanessa Silva’s new business.

Here is what she has to say about her new homemade organic baby food venture, “My idea behind creating these soups is that not every mother has the time luxury to prepare fresh foods for their babies, and I do not believe that industrialized, pasteurized, homogenized soups should be the answer to that.  By creating handmade, one of a kind, seasonal soups I am trying expose their developing palates to the joy of live food and to support their health with the best food I can possibly create.”
