Hello Tumara,
I just purchased a home in Decatur last month. I’m up late researching summer camps in the area and somehow came upon your website. I think the concept is awesome. I am the mom of 2 boys ages 6 & 4. My husband and I have been in planning mode to find and buy a home in Decatur for the last 3 years, and boy are we glad to have reached the finish line. I am a teacher and Realtor, hoping to go back to doing real estate full time now that my boys are older and will be attending Decatur Schools. I am starting up my own real estate company to allow me the flexability to schedule around my children’s school schedule. I was fortunate to be my own Real Estate Agent during our search, so having my children along was not a problem. However, this can be a challenge for many families when scheduling home showings. I hope find ways to make the process easier and more kid friendly for families. I’ll definitely keep up with your blog to find and share info. as my Decatur adventures progress. Thanks Again!

So glad that I stumbled upon this site! My family and I will be moving into a town home on Oakland St. (near the park you are speaking of!!) in April. We have 1 year old twin boys and couldn’t be happier about the location!

Hello Tumara! Thanks so much for writing this blog! I am moving from Los Angeles to Atlanta with my son. I am researching Decatur and it sounds amazing! Can you please email me when you have a moment. I’d love a real estate agent referral and have a few questions. Have a great day:-)

SPA SERVICES
I hear about your blog from a client… I have been in Decatur for amost 4 years and I still feel like a little lost sometimes… with all this useful information your blog is awsome.
I am a former esthetitian of Natural Body spa where I worked for long time. I am having really hard time going back to work because I dont want to leave my 2 years old. So I decided to set up an spa room at home and I have been doing aesthetics, mostly waxing for now. I am exclusively oriented to serve “Moms”.
In regular spa settings, moms are not allowed to bring their children so as a result, mom never gets her services done. I set up an space at home where two rooms are connected. In one I perform my spa service, while mom can watch her little one in the other room playing. The playroom is set up to be childproof. It has a lot of toys and also a resting area where kids can take nap if they need.
I am a mom too, so my hours are flexible and I work better with apointments made in the moment rather than with days in advance. If any mom needs a spa service, she can contact me at paola_covarrubias@yahoo.com or call me at 678 8876047. For eyebrows, leg waxing, lash or brow tinting, or to get that bikini ready for the beach! (I do brazilians too). Thank you for sharing this information!

For the month of May, Lucas Brotherton, a Winnona Park second grader has set a goal for himself to raise $500 which he will donate to PKU research. One way he will be raising
money is by hosting a lemonade stand which will be located on the corner of South McDonough and Oakview Road on Saturday, May
7th. He will be selling lemonade, fresh baked cookies and other treats. Please stop by and show your support.

Lucas’ Lemonade Stand
Date: Saturday, May 7th
Located: On the corner of South McDonough and Oakview Road (just across from Oakhurst community garden)
“Shop” Hours: 11:30pm -3:30pm

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.

As a Decatur mom, I wanted to share a wonderful summer camp available for preschoolers located just down the road, Inman Park Cooperative Preschool’s Summer in the City. This will mark the third summer that I’ve sent my daughter here… and our experience was so positive that first year, we have been attending IPCP full-time. For those that find the curriculum appealing but are unsure of the co-op investment, this is a great way for you to test out the school without the usual co-op obligations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summer is on its way and Inman Park Cooperative Preschool (IPCP) is excited to offer Nature in the City Summer Camp 2011! Our beautiful campus includes a certified National Wildlife Federation Schoolyard Habitat with a smaller outdoor garden space for our younger campers (ages 1 and 2).

During our camp sessions (which start June 6 and run for two weeks, through July 29), children will engage in individual and group projects and experiences where they will see, hear, touch and even taste nuture, all while developing a lifelong love of the outdoors. Each week, a special guest will visit IPCP to enhance the session’s theme.

IPCP’s Nature in the City Summer Camp will bring your child a summer full of exploration, fun and friendship. Visit ipcp.org for more information. Many thanks.
