by Jeremiah Centrella, Wolfella Food Company Photo courtesy of Wolfella Food Company This year our family is trying something new - a resolution to eat a sit-down dinner together at least three times a week. At least once every two weeks, we’ll invite at least one other family to join us. The science behind this resolution is astounding. Cooking and eating family-style meals together as a family has life-long positive results for families, individual parents, children, and groups. We didn’t know any of the science when we set out to test Wolfella Food Company’s meal offerings. For me per ..read more

Demystifying Boxing Day - and Making the Holidays More Sustainable

by Brita Johnson, Lead Doula and Storyteller Image: @freestocks What is Boxing Day? Unless you live in the UK or a Commonwealth country, it may just be a mysterious holiday that appears on the calendar on December 26th. What’s it all about? (Here’s a hint: it has nothing to do with the sport of boxing!) Modern day Boxing Day traditions focus on time with family and friends, food, football (that is, soccer for those of us in the US), and…as with many holidays, shopping. In countries where Boxing Day celebrations are baked into the annual calendar, the focus on retail deals can be compared to B ..read more

by Liz Melendez Stevens, CPD The winter months can be tough with young kids - cold and wet weather can dampen our motivation for outdoor play, even though we know we all benefit when kids get outside. Staying warm at home can result in everyone feeling a little squirrely within the constraints of our home’s four walls. In the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area, we’re lucky to have a host of indoor play spaces for kids, from the infant stage through preschool and even beyond. When the weather is a barrier to getting outdoors, check out these options - whether they’re around the corner or the ..read more

by Krystle Gard, PCD We all know getting kids outside is imperative to their wellbeing - and to parent sanity! However, a winter forecast in the Pacific Northwest can be daunting (rain in the forecast for the next ten days!?). Having a toolkit - of ideas, practical gear, and systems for keeping things handy and organized - can make winter outside play easier, more comfortable and more fun. Photo courtesy of Krystle Gard For many parts of the year in the Pacific Northwest, specialized outdoor gear is helpful but not necessary. On warmer, rainy days, letting your little outside in bare feet and ..read more

What is happening now - Hamas’ attack on Israel, the Israeli military offensive in Gaza, and the escalation of violence in the Palestinian Territories and Israel - is a true nightmare. So many children have died, and many thousands more are suffering in unimaginable, lasting ways. It is hard to conceive of a reality further from what we at Bridgetown Baby hope and dream for families everywhere - a world where all children and their parents are well cared for and are surrounded by supportive, loving community. And yet, it is happening on our collective watch. These children are our children, o ..read more
