Whole Foods & FFC invite MOMS to a special event

By

UPDATED TO ADD: We’re sorry to report that the childcare we have set up will really only work for kiddos three and up!  Sorry for this oversight on our part. 

Yes, MOTHERHOOD is awesome – the best job ever…my kids are my world…I love each and every minute with those sweet cherubs…yada yada yada… But there are days, long, long days, days when you can’t go to the bathroom without an escort, days when you can’t remember if you fed them breakfast much less shaved both legs (yours not theirs because that would be weird), days when if you hear the word MOMMY one.more.time. you’ll become a day-drinker.  We know and your secret is safe with us.

Moms need a break now and then. A chance to finish a sentence, eat off their very own plate for a change, relax, breathe and repeat.  Sure, Mother’s Day is great and quickly approaching, but in my experience we do just as much MOM-running that day as we do any other. You know this, we know this, Whole Foods knows this, so we put our WONDER TWIN POWERS together to give you a morning of just what you need:

We’ve got a jammed pack morning guaranteed to renew, refresh and relax you:

  • Enjoy a delicious BRUNCH from the culinary wizards at Whole Foods

  • Sample some delightful blends of TEA from The Spice and Tea Exchange

  • Choose from mini FACIALS or mini MASSAGES

  • Get some Spring and Summer wardrobe ideas with a FASHION SHOW from our friends at Eddie Bauer in Rookwood

  • DOOR PRIZES for some

  • GIFT BAGS for all

  • Time to breathe, chat and just be you

This is all happening 10am May 12th at the Rookwood Whole Foods (registration begins at 9:45am).  We know childcare can be tricky, especially on a Saturday morning, but don’t fret!  If you need to bring the kiddos with you, the amazing staff at Whole Foods will entertain (read: keep ’em out of your hair) with a very cool KIDS CAN COOK TOO CLASS followed by some snacking of their own and a craft or two! Everyone wins here Moms!  Please make sure to register ALL children attending so we have the proper amount of distractions, er, I mean suitable activities planned for them.
Did someone say door prizes?  Oh yes we did! How about gift certificates to Boutique 280 From Bump to Baby; Brazee Street Studios; the Premium Outlets thanks to our friends at the Warren County Convention and Visitor Bureau; blue manatee children’s bookstore and decafe.  And everyone will go home with a lovely gift bag filled with goodies from Whole Foods and a game pass to Gameworks on the Levee the kids are sure to love – IF you feel like sharing of course!
To register, please go to our EVENTBRITE page to reserve a ticket (click the pic above for a direct link).  Once you do, we’ll PAYPAL you an invoice for the tickets – you will not pay for the tickets through Eventbrite.  Your tickets are confirmed once we receive your payment.  And bonus!  ALL proceeds from ticket sales are being donated to a wonderful local charity supporting MOMS in our community.  So your morning getaway is also doing good for others!  Again, everyone wins!!

We only have spots for FIFTY lucky moms, so hurry, get your tickets today and come getaway with Whole Foods and Family Friendly Cincinnati. 

Got questions?  I’ll get you answers…just leave a comment here below.

    I just registered my mom and me, but I am going to have to “unregister”. She already planned something that I didn’t know about! So sorry! I’m sure it will be awesome!

    Hi, I just signed up me and my 2 daughters who has children. I just got the tickets, but I don’t see a link to pay via of paypal. Need your help as to how to pay.

    Thanks for hosting this mom event and all of the other wonderful events. I’m always looking for something do with my daughters and there children. But I really wish you guys had a store in Try-county 🙁 however the travel time is worth it. But I haven’t given up hope maybe some day. 🙂

    Have a wonderful day.
    Blessings.

    I have my “tickets” printed, but I was never asked to pay for them. Is it in a separate email? Do I pay at registration on Saturday? If you have a ticket are you assured a spot or is it 1st come 1st served at registration?

    • Amy says

      Hey Jenn – your spot is GUARANTEED! I’m actually processing the paypal emails right now and you should have it in just a bit.

      SOrry for the delay!

    Thanks for the answer! I am already going out friday night so thought I could “trade” and let my husband do what he wanted saturday while I took the kids “shopping” (shhh), so I don’t think it is going to work. Have fun!

    What Katie said! My nine-year-old would LOVE the cooking class. My 21-month-old would just try and eat all of the ingredients.
