Swim East and West are making the water a safer place for over 23 years! We have sung the praises of Swim East and Swim West for years (and years and years), and are continuing to do so. Only a few years into swimming, the eldest of our kids can be found doing backstroke the length of the pool and our youngests are on their way. We’ve seen the magic first hand that turns a child that hates the water to one that is laughing and giggling all throughout class. With so many places to swim in and around Madison, having a child who is safe around water is a must. Their philosophy is to “provide all children, regardless of age, race, or special needs, the best aquatic experience, to teach the necessary skills to be safe in the water, to nurture a love of swimming, and to educate parents about water safety and the aquatic learning process.”
Forward Fertility is a forward thinking, nurse practitioner-owned business based in Madison, Wisconsin. The mission of Forward Fertility is simple: Help people who are building their families via egg donation, gestational surrogacy, embryo donation, or donor sperm and educate our community about these options. Help can look different to each person, so Forward Fertility customizes services, based on needs.
Happy Bambino, LLC – Madison’s premier place to get quality pregnancy and parenting resources, safe, green, locally-made products and caring, hands-on support – from pre-conception through birth and beyond. If you are pregnant or a new parent, HB is the place to go. Their parenting resources and groups are out of this world. They personally helped me through some major breastfeeding struggles, introduced me to several of my bestest friends, and saved my wallet issues (which are great, mind you) with their JuJeBe line. AND on top of this, they’ve been HUGE Half-Pint supporters and such good friends us and care so much about their community.
