This weekend on “Where You Live” we’re celebrating babies!! It’s a super sweet show you’re not going to want to miss!  We visit the Spectrum Health Family Birth Center to meet some new moms and their newborns (they are so precious!).   We’ll get some expert advise from Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital experts on safe sleep for infants.  Priority Health wellness friends will share simple workouts to do at home with baby and you can check out all the latest in baby gear at Meijer!   Plus, we have a tender story of a local family that recently adopted a toddler from Haiti through Bethany Christian Services.  It’s a heart warming story for sure!!  And a Pine Rest Christian Services therapist shares insights for all parents on making children feel like an important part of the family.   We’ll also announce our 2010 Park Party schedule! It’s a big show this weekend, “Where You Live” Saturday at 7:30 a.m. and p.m. on WOTV 4 and 6:30 p.m. on WOOD TV 8.

One of my favorite things about this job is meeting so many wonderful people!  Maybe it’s chatting with a mom at the Holland Aquatic Center or visiting with a dad while shopping at Meijer.  I love hearing about what kids and families are doing, how they are making a difference in their community and the memories they are building as a family.  Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a big jump in activity on this website.  We’ve also seen our Facebook Fan base blossom.  It’s exciting to see that kids, parents, grandparents and teachers are discovering this special little “community” we have that focuses on building healthy, happy, strong families here in West Michigan.    If you’re new to us, welcome aboard!  If you’ve been with us for a while, thanks for telling your friends about us!  We love your input, ideas and inspirations.  Know your input is valued and always welcome!
