Living more simply and making more local connections is a great way to upsize the richness of our lives and downsize the time we spend commuting away from our home to be able to come back and pay for it. Our newest Roost business sponsor, mortgage broker Melissa Guthrie, knows that living simple [...] … Fortunately for me and everyone else reading this, there are little pockets of joy right here in Portland where you can feel really good about what you have bought, who you have bought it from and how it was made… [...] Everything we do with our body uses some combination of our strength, our flexibility and our endurance. Addressing just one of these three and not the others, as some of us can vouch for, can make the problem even worse. Israel’s work is all about better coordinating our own body’s natural balance while honoring that simple truth that we have gotten into whatever pinch we are in for very good reasons more complex than it all first appears. [...] Wren’s Nest Preschool – Montessori preschool right in the neighborhood. There’s something magical about trays full of natural materials presented with awe and wonder to tiny bodies and little busy minds… [...] As a town that appreciates cottage industries (especially if they brew beer) and celebrates living locally, we may want to consider adopting Bea Weiss-Krull’s home town Tuttlingen Germany as our sister city. Her part of Germany is known as the world headquarters for precision medical instruments making . . . but before you start [...] The best of all worlds, that’s my goal when I set out to find good resources for my family. After spending an afternoon with Lisa Knudson, the new owner of Small Wonders — a children’s and maternity consignment store at 79th and Foster — I now understand what “the best of all worlds” means in a family consignment store. [...] I feel lucky to have Shira Fogel, who started Tiny Talkers baby signing workshops, and Carissa Martos, who is trained at the Signing Time Academy, both involved with our co-op. Having good resources for our children and our families is what the “Know your Neighbor” weekly emails are all about. [...] Have you ever seen a kid look forward to visiting the dentist? We see it every day. Why? Just look around and you will see how Dentistry for Children make visits to the dentist comfortable and interesting for kids. It starts the moment they come in the door. [...] The Immortal Piano Company is a real gem, right off busy 39th at 4011 Belmont. Martha Taylor buys, sells, restores and refurbishes pianos and custom makes piano benches. A great resource for amazing used pianos and piano appraisals. [...] No big box stores nearby can be a relief, no hotels nearby is a real hassle when friends and relatives come to stay. It’s good to know that Historic Hawthorne Rentals manages nine beautiful studios to full houses all near Hawthorne and Belmont that accommodate 2-7 guests per property. Ideal for family reunions, wedding guests/parties and for visiting out of town family and friends. Child friendly and very welcoming for small guests with pack-n-plays, high-chairs, toys and books.
