santa fe rollcall!

I am also new to Santa Fe, just moved here in June.
My husband is a family physician here and is supportive of natural parenting-we used cloth diapers, breastfed until 16 months, he and our kids are vegetarian. From what I can tell, most of the physicians he works with are into family centered care and are interested in collaboratve care--not telling parents how to raise their kids but making those decisions together.

Hey,

we're not there yet, but will be in the next six months or so. I grew up in Alb., but have been living up here in the MN frozen tundra for waaay too long. So we're headed that way, finally! My dd is 2 & 1/2; will be 3 by the time we're there, I imagine. I'm looking to make some virtual connections before actually getting there.

I'm also looking for preschool recommendations. There are so many with cool sounding names, but that's not much to go on! LOL. Don't know what work we'll be doing, or what part of town we'll be in, but I'd rather find a good program fit than worry about geography.

TIA! And hope you don't mind me hanging out here a bit, even though we're not there yet!

Hi y'all!
Hope you don't mind if I reactivate this thread!

I'm not in Santa Fe, but 2 hours north in a tiny village called Tierra Amarilla in the Chama valley, just 20 minutes from the Colorado border. Santa Fe is the closest "civilization" for us! We come down once or twice a month.

Karin Thron at Women's Health Services is an awesome family physician who is incredibly supportive of breastfeeding and natural birth. Like many MDs she's probably pro-vax but is incredibly respectful of people's choices. She was my doctor during my last pregnancy, and would have delivered dd except I had a placenta previa and was transferred to Albuquerque.

So where do you AP Santa Fe moms hang out?! I've changed many a cloth diaper in Whole Foods, and nursed all over, but I don't think I've seen any of you, judging by some of the looks I've gotten, lol!

Hi all, I've been through Isis, (they have a great mission and atmosphere, but Dr. Gollub was not talkative enough for me), Karin Throne is my Primary, (she is a sister!, it takes along time to get an appointment, big place. My kids go to Lenya Reese, she is awsome, a retired midwife, she takes presbyterian salud (medicaid). Many of my friends go to her and just pay because she's worth it. She does alopathic, but prefers homeopathic, herbs, and supplements.

Hey! What part of town do u live in? We just moved to the far north side of town. Ive only been to the LLL meeting once when Caden was only 12 weeks old (sigh lol). IT's at 10 AM that's just an INSANE hour for me. Not that I get to sleep in or anything but Caden sometimes if Im lucky takes a two hour nap around then and I get to sleep a lil If im (again) lucky!!! So it's jus really bad timing otherwise Id probably go =/
we do need a playgroup!!! Things are really crazy w/us moving and everything though!! Caden will be 11 mos on the 17th gosh time flies!! I have to admit I miss him being so tiny but at the same time Im happy to be done w/the newborn stage it's bittersweet I guess.

Hey All!

I'm headed to TA this weekend (tomorrow through Thursday) for a job interview. Believe me, 30's sounds like shorts weather considering I woke up here to 24below actual temp this morning!

ChamaMama : wanna hook up?!?!

Ana : how do you like Eldorado? We're looking for somewhere to rent and have seen lots of ads for that area.

DeeGroovee!

Lundy.

We like Eldorado. It isn't our dream place by any means (see my introduction post!!) but all in all a great community in which to raise your kids. We just bought our second house here, specifically so the kids could stay in their school AND because the market values out here are only going up (always have) so resalability will help us fund our dream....

There's a great clubhouse with a pool, in the warmer months, that's free to the residents, two parks, and a library. We like it.

Quite a hike from TA though!!! I, personally, would rather be up there. Someday....

What sort of job, if you don't mind my asking?

Hey, nice to meet another native! Well, I wasn't actually born here but I've been here since I was 5 so pretty close.

Would be great if we could revive this thread!
