May is PKU awareness month. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder. Individuals with PKU cannot
process an amino acid called phenylalanine which is present in most foods. Without treatment, phenylalanine
builds up in the bloodstream and causes severe neurological complications. Standard treatment consists of a
strict low-protein diet and daily consumption of a special formula containing life-sustaining nutrition. Continued
research is needed to ease the difficulty of the diet and to help improve the quantity of life for all individuals living
with PKU.

All money that is collected will be donated to Georgia PKU Connect which is a 501c3 non-profit.

I am a mom of two preschoolers and the Co-Founder of ScoopMama.com – a new deal site in Atlanta catering to families with savings of 40-75% off kid-friendly activities, stores, kid-friendly restaurants, services and more.

Check out today’s deal at http://www.scoopmama.com – $12 for $25 at Saba Restaurant, Emory & Oakhurst Villages. Deal ends tonight so buy it today!

Sign up now so you can receive our Daily Scoop emails. (Please make sure you get a confirmation email and follow the instructions so that will definitely get our emails)

What makes us different from many other group-buying sites is that we are a small mom-owned business that is locally-based and our list of subscribers is much more targeted towards a specific demographic – YOU! We believe in supporting our community by featuring neighborhood small businesses to our ScoopMama families.

Deals will be at unique places including: kid-friendly restaurants, birthday party venues and entertainers, custom birthday cakes, home organization professionals, rock climbing gyms, cupcake cafes, summer camps, music classes, the list goes on…

We launched in Atlanta January 18th with wonderful offers such as a Children’s Music Birthday Party with Miss Tara, we just finished up a Ticket offer for KidVentures who plan amazing local field trips for kids and today’s Scoop is $12 for $25 worth of food at Saba Restaurant in Emory Village and Oakhurst Village. We are also in Detroit (our hometown) and run a few national deals a month.

Tomorrow’s Scoop is one you won’t want to miss. One of the most gifted photographers in Atlanta is offering an Exclusive deal with only a limited quantity available. Act fast before its gone.

We started this site because there were too many days when we wondered how could we entertain our kids with something new and fun without going broke. We only offer products and services that we would want for our own family. We want our subscribers to feel comfortable spending their hard-earned money on the offers we feature on ScoopMama.

If you have places you want to see featured on ScoopMama, please let us know.
Don’t forget to subscribe and join our family so you too can enjoy the most out of life with the ones you love while saving $$!

Just found your blog. We are thinking about relocating to Decatur (we just moved here from New York City and are staying with family). We are thinking about the downtown area. Would you be able to email me information about how to find the nanny shares? Thanks! Please send it to dulcinea7749 (at) aol (dot) com (just replace the (at) with @ and the (dot) with .)

Hi there,

I’m a parent of a wee student (Jack, 3) of the Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool.

I really *really* really think our school is something unusual and special. My very shy son even adores it there. The teachers are caring and smart and the location is quaint and looks like something straight out of Hansel and Gretel

So I’m hoping you can help me spread the word about our upcoming year. Back last year, I only heard about our school via word of mouth and basically – I wish someone in the media had talked about OCP back when I was looking for schools.

We have some fun information sessions coming up, where other parents can find out more about OCP. I love this blog and would be honored if you could help us get the word out.

Thanks and Happy New Year!!

Here’s the press release about OCP:

***********
 
Come explore what Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool can offer your family! 
 
Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool will be hosting enrollment information sessions for the 2011 – 2012 school year in January and February.  Located at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and East Lake Drive, OCP provides a secular education to children in the Decatur and Atlanta areas.  OCP uses a unique nature-based curriculum that has its roots in Waldorf and Reggio Emilia.  Our curriculum embraces nature walks, simple all-natural toys when possible, and the celebration of the seasons.  Children receive a hands-on environmental education every day.  
 
OCP accepts children aged 2 – 4 years for morning classes grouped by age.  Children must be 2 by September 1, 2011 to attend.  Classes are taught by well-qualified teachers with expertise in early childhood education who are supervised by our experienced director.  Parents serve as assistant teachers in the classroom on a rotating basis. 
 
As a cooperative preschool, OCP is entirely parent-run.   Parents make up the Board of Directors and serve on committees that operate the school.  When a member family joins OCP, it becomes part of a community, not just part of a preschool.
 
OCP will be holding enrollment information sessions at the following times:
• Saturday, January 8 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, January 25 from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
• Saturday, February 5 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.   
Attendance at one of the enrollment information sessions is a required component of the admissions process.  For additional information, please visit http://www.oakhurstcoop.com or e-mail admissions@oakhurstcoop.com with any questions.
