March 2013 - Mama’s Got a New Bag
March 01, 2013
Posted By: Shaunescy
They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, right? Well, we at
Montana Parent offer up a twist on this analogy with our March issue, which is all about
the differences between boys and girls. Which is the lamb and which is the lion? A-ha!
We’ll leave you to decide. Wink wink.
We’re also offering up the latest edition of the Mama's Got a New Bag blog contest
and giveaway! This month's gorgeous Maranda Lee bag is filled with sugar, spice and
everything nice from Pure Barre, Montana Twirls, Bon Ton Photo Co. and Montana
Mex!
See how much we love you, dear readers?
In this fabulous new issue, we tackle – among other things -- the differences in how boys
and girls play (Girl Play, Boy Play, We All Play Together); the divergent communication
style between the sexes (Girls Call Home; Boys Use Their Cell Phones to Load up on
Apps); the pressure on both genders to be physically perfect (Gender Pressure) and an
easy-to-understand explanation of those pesky hormones.
We also get some sage insight from our wise and wonderful editor Leigh Ripley who
always thought she wanted a boy until she had three girls and a beautiful essay by Shane
Borrowman about how his late sister was the real boy in the family. Great stuff.
As always, we invite you in to explore all the wild and wonderful aspects of being a
Montana Parent!

The best selling Emma bag is also available as a tote! This little beauty features 3 roomy slip pockets, magnetic snap closure, key hook at the top of the bag so you never dig for your keys again. Most bags come with an adjustable strap but to mix up your style this shoulder bag is the way to go! You can now order your bag with both the adjustable messenger strap AND the shoulder straps!
There have been lots of changes in my shop recently to help you build a bag of your dreams. Stroller straps are now available as well as dual o-rings which allow any messenger bag to be attached to a stroller with the use of most stroller straps (mine or other manufacturers).
I now have 9 amazing chevron prints for you to select from and a growing number or accent fabric colors so you can mix and match to make a truly one of a kind bag of your dreams and coordinate your bag with your other baby gear!
Each item is hand-cut and sewn in Bozeman, MT from original designs. Specializing in custom crafted bags and accessories you can choose your fabric and features for a truly one-of-a-kind bag.

Pure Barre
One Month Unlimited

Contact: bozeman@purebarre.com
Pure Barre is a total body workout that lifts your seat, tones your thighs and burns fat in record-breaking time. Utilizing the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music, Pure Barre is the fastest, most effective, yet safest way to change your body. Students see results in just 10 classes.
Pure Barre is intelligent exercise. The technique protects your joints as itdoes not involve any bouncing or jumping. Each strength section of the workout is followed by a stretching section in order to create long, lean muscle without bulk. The workout launches a full blown attack on the areas of the body all women struggle with: abs, hips, seat and arms. It defies gravity by tapering everything in and lifting it up.
The workout requires such focus that you block "life" out for the hour allowing you to obtain the mental benefits achieved in yoga or meditation. A transformed body and a clear head in just one hour- it doesn't get much better than this!
