The earliest years of parenthood can feel like a total dream. You get to spend time with your new best friend as they grow and become their own unique person. But, if you have been looking for the perfect way to connect with other parents while bonding with your baby, you may want to consider mommy and me classes in Portland. Because you’re so focused on your child, it’s easy to neglect trying to build up some friendships with other parents in similar situations. However, with these sessions, you can encourage your child’s development while also meeting brand-new families. Here are some of my favorite mommy and me classes across Portland!
I’m part of a blogging circle and will be linking to another photographer at the end of this post, be sure to read to the end to check it out!

The classes take place in venues across the city, so you can find the one that’s just down the street from your home! They offer several options, including baby-only classes as well as mixed-age classes for children up to the age of 5. Throughout the classes, your child will be able to sing, dance, clap, and try out some instruments.

Thanks so much Alison!
STUNNING images. I’m absolutely mesmerized by that first one! Gosh. So beautiful. I’m so distracted by how beautiful they are I had to scroll back 5 times to figure out what the blog post was about but kept getting stunned by the images. LOL

Mommy and me classes are just the best. I don’t know what I would have done without them when mine were littles.
Right, they seem like so much fun. I wish I had done more with my kiddo when he was a baby.
