Mama's Hip

Bad feelings about this place. I was shocked that the owner and manager were not interested in getting involved when I witnessed repeated Heroin use in their business parking lot and their outside building area being used to hide the drugs.

The Heroin situation was ongoing and disturbing at all hours for a few months! Yet they did not notice?? Once informed, they did not care. Seriously? People come and go here with children! When I called them twice to alert them and discuss solutions, there was no offer of help, they wanted to wash their hands of it--they were rude and hung up. Shameful!

One day recently, when officers were outside arresting druggies and trying to take care of the issue, the folks at Mama's Hip would not cooperate or even open the door to talk to the police outside when I asked for help. Needles and drugs were stashed in their bushes. Can you not show the police? Really??

Luckily, we were able to get rid of the drug element finally... but it seems that these folks want all the benefits of my trendy, artsy Highlands neighborhood without any of the responsibility.

Drugs are an ugly part of our society, but if you ignore it and refuse any positive action and let others take it on as you just stand by--then, you are a part of the problem. Especially at your place of business-- that focuses on babies!?! This is wrong on so many levels. Truly.

I would never take children here based on this interaction and observation. I cannot say how the services are.

Store owner is very friendly and helpful. They have drop in music classes for $10. Picked up some baby neckerchiefs that were super cute for my baby who is a drooler (fox and racehorse patterns). Lots of cloth diaper resources if you are looking for that. They also do a new parent group too.

I adore this little shop. It's such a cute little place, and they do a lot of get togethers for various things. They also collect cloth diapers to help parents and children in need. Just an all around great place

I love this store... I had called 8 stores looking for the amber teething necklace for my 15 month old who is teething and having a horrible time with it. This store had them and several different kinds. A couple hours after putting the necklace in my daughter she was 75% better. I'm so thankful for this store!!!

Mama's Hip is a great resource for moms. They've got a small store (I've never actually bought anything there) but it seems like there's a nice selection. They also provide a lot of classes like sign language, yoga, etc for moms and babies. They're reasonably priced and pretty awesome. They host new mom groups that are totally free and provide a great way to get out of the house and meet other moms.

I really enjoyed this place, although I only purchased two items. I went here mistakenly to help my mum. You see, she just fell last week and got a hip replacement. I came to "Mama's Hip" with only the best of intentions, but I suppose I will need to find a medical supply store. Anyhoo, I had a lot of fun here, as it was filled with a great deal of very nice (and some pregnant) women. I guess sometimes great things can come from Mama's hip!

Mama's Hip is an amazing service to our community. While it is a natural parenting store, Shannon has made an atmosphere where all moms (no matter parenting style) can get support. While the stock in the store might seem low, there are a great deal of items that can be ordered. I highly recommend the playgroups (which are free) and the art and music classes. I cannot say enough nice things about Mama's Hip and think all new or expecting mamas should check it out.
