Mom Friendly: Crunchy Granola Baby

 

After a fab late lunch Baylen and I ditched the stroller for the Moby wrap and went in search of a restroom. I should start a blog all about New England restrooms and the lack there of. As a person with an abnormally small bladder I know most of the public restrooms in Boston, Andover and Worcester, but Salem is new ground.
FYI Dunkin donuts near Ben &Jerrys has one for patrons only.

Crunchy Granola Baby on Washington Street is an adorably friendly store. We went in and were warmly greeted by staff and tons of little ones running underfoot.

The store is an environmentalist’s dream chock full of buttery soft organic clothing, cloth diapering needs, toys and other green baby paraphenalia. They offer workshops and parenting groups. There is even a little place for kids to play and moms to nurse!

We bought an organic cotton and wood teether and  organic diaper cover. Baylen just loves the teether, can’t believe he is teething at 2 months, but he is!

Mom Friendly: New England Soup Factory Salem, MA

In Salem today, Bay just had his first photo shoot with Katie Ring of Ring Images. Bay is fast on the track to baby modeling.

After the shoot I was starving and wandered over to the NE Soup Factory. I just love soup, so I was happy as a clam. On special today they had a lobster newburg with jasmine rice. Yum! Here I sit loving this soup blogging.

This place is über kid friendly, plenty of room to wheel the giant stroller around. Large bathroom for patrons only (no changing area.)

Prices are reasonable. I’m stuffed for 8.65 including an all natural soda. Feel free to sample the soup before you commit to a whole cup! ( great for the picky toddler.)

On to shopping…
