A new class is starting in the Berks county area!! My Smart Hands is a sign language and play clas for babies. The goal of this class is to introduce ASL to babies, in the hopes that it speeds up a babies ability to communicate with their parent sooner.
I started teaching my children sign languiage 10 years ago. My oldest child really picked up on it and it was wonderful to know exactly what she wanted!! I did not have to guess, we did not have screaming fits… But I did not know any sign language before I started!! I could have benefited from a class like this. Now that I am on child #5, and working on teaching her simple signs,I could still use this class!! I think it has a huge benefit to every parents and baby.
For more information please join My Smart Hands facebook fan page:

My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Amy! As first time parents, she was exactly what we were looking for in a birth doula. She met with us during our pregnancy to discuss the process of labor/delivery, our wants/needs, our “ideal birth”, and helped us create an extensive birth plan. At 40 weeks, our midwife thought the baby may be breech and Amy met us at the hospital for an ultrasound and possibly inversion. Thank goodness no inversion was needed, but Amy talked us through the experience and eased our emotions. At 41 weeks, I finally went into labor at 4:00 am and Amy was on the other end of the phone talking us through early labor - I might also add that she was 20-something weeks pregnant with her 5th child at the time! She met us at the birthing center at 8:30 and assisted my husband in my pain management with massage, encouragement, and attending to my needs. Amy was a God-send and I can’t imagine our next birth without her at our side. She visited us at home a week later and brought the most precious gift ever - a timeline of our daughter’s birthday! It is a wonderful addition to her birth records. We now think of Amy as part of our family - that’s just how much she has impacted our lives.
