Meet Keri!
If you enjoy late night trips to Dairy Queen as much as the rest of us, you’ll love our newest mom Keri Levitt! Prior to moving to Westport, Keri spent many years running her own fashion and lifestyle PR firm in the city, working closely with brands like Ralph Lauren, Fendi, and helping with the launch of UPPABaby! When her kids were little, she moved her business here to spend more time with them, and has recently launched Keri Levitt Events, where she can bring her love of and expertise in branding, design and production together with her creative flair for elevating everyday entertaining. She is a force to be reckoned with on the ping pong table, lives for Instagram, and doesn’t leave the house without a little Amber Oil on! She is creative, kind, and down to earth, and whether you need help planning a birthday party, bat-mitzvah, wedding, or anything in between down the line, Keri is one not to miss!

Meet Melissa and Jessica, Founders of The Parent Collective!
Those who say Europe just does it better may have had It right with this one! Enter Melissa and Jessica, founders of The Parent Collective, a new approach to prenatal classes in Westport (and newly launching in Greenwich)! These classes provide information for expecting & new parents and provide a way to meet people going through the same thing that live locally! Both Melissa and Jessica took these classes in London when they were pregnant, and decided we should all have access to them too! In addition to being entrepreneurial, driven, and crazy smart, they are hilarious, authentic, and as real about parenting – and it’s challenges – as It gets. Melissa loves Bar Taco and the Pearl (her sweet tooth is a major weakness!), and Jessica loves Sakura, loathes public speaking, and is embarrassed to admit how much she loved Disney World! Thank you both for all you are doing to help us Mums out there!
Contact Sports and Kids: How to Keep Your Children Safe!
Each year, more than 2.6 million children, 19 years old and younger, visit the emergency department for both recreation and sports-related injuries. Kids are at greater risk than adults for sports injuries because they are still growing and developing. The risk for injury is even greater if the child plays a contact sport such as basketball, football, or soccer. Learn about how to best prevent – and treat – these injuries if and when they happen from the experts at Yale New Haven Health!

Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers
High profile acts of violence, particularly in schools, can confuse and frighten children who may feel in danger or worry that their friends or loved-ones are at risk. They will look to adults for information and guidance on how to react. Parents and school personnel can help children feel safe by establishing a sense of normalcy and security and talking with them about their fears.
