It’s All in Your Head

Mommie Brain Classes

After having your baby, you were at a loss for words.

Like the days of the week, that place over by the whatever-it’s-called, and your own name.

Whip your wits back into prepregnancy shape with a new Mommie Brain workshop. For six weeks, you and other moms (and moms-to-be) meet and write under the gentle guidance of Rachel Zients Schinderman. Set goo-goo-ga-gas aside while you stretch and flex with a variety of writing workouts: baby journal, birth experience, magazine article, opus, etc.

It’s all coming back to you now.
