For that class, babies under 24 months can come, play with non-toxic finger paints, toys and other activities. At the end of the class, parents leave with a very cute footprint art. It's a great and affordable way for babies and adults to socialize. Classes are $10, and 100% worth it. They also offer open play classes, which is open to any age. There is an option for a membership pass for this class. Artnasium also offers homeschool classes, monthly date night babysitting event and waaaaay more. The owner is very sweet and friendly, and I adore her daughters. To sum it up, The Artnasium is a really great way to get out of the house, and get kids and parents socialized. Go here, you won't be disappointed and I promise you'll make it a regular event on your calendar.

This is my favorite baby store! I live in Birmingham, but I come by ANM every time I visit my…read morefamily here in Huntsville. I love the attachment parenting focus. There are so many supplies you just can't find at bigger box stores, and Glenni does her best to source her products locally whenever possible. The two biggest sections are breastfeeding accessories and cloth diapering supplies (they even stock Green Mountain Diapers). They also have some Green Sprouts solid food accessories, a few baby carriers (Boba, Ergo, Ktan), a selection of baby clothes (some organic), and a few maternity items. If they don't have something you want, Glenni will often make a few phone calls to try and find it for you. Once I was in a cloth diapering "emergency" while in Atlanta, and she called all her GA counterparts trying to find me the supplies I needed! They are also a great source of knowledge for natural parenting and host pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding classes and mommy groups at the store. I've come here several times just to nurse my infant in the middle of a long shopping day. Glenni is very welcoming and sets you up with a footstool and nursing pillow, anything you need. She will offer help with any breastfeeding issues you may be dealing with. To sum up, I can't say enough good things about ANM. Their products, service, and philosophy are all wonderful. Why shop anywhere else for your baby needs??

Everyone was really friendly and interesting to speak with. They have a nice variety of items ranging from notecards featuring locally photographed birds, to dinner-plate-sized (and smaller) stained glass items, to portraits of political figures, and Christmas ornaments. Personally, I enjoyed the stained glass the most! Art is so personal and I prefer modern art, oversized pieces, and mixed media in particular. Despite not seeing anything I just *had* to have, High Cotton is a friendly place and worthy of a visit.

U.A.H. When I attended school here it stood for "University At Home." Most of us were locals with…read morea few recruited athletes from other counties and countries. Back then, the duckpond south of Holmes was called "Bra Lake." I spent countless hours on campus, in the Art building, in the library. and even rented a bed in the old old dorms before attending full time. The gym used to be a concert venue and they also hosted a spring outdoor concert series each year both of which were open to the public. My favorite show here was Billy Idol! Rumor has it he swam in the gym pool, without a swimsuit, after the show. It was a great show!!!!! I was fortunate to get a tennis scholarship and for the most part, enjoyed my teammates and the whole college athlete experience. We had exceptional trainers, good facilities, and adequate benefits [per diem meal money when we traveled, free athletic clothing, meal money on campus, 100% books and I believe, 100% tuition.] Academically, UAH is no cake walk! I was completely unprepared my first semester [and UAH was on the semester crammed into a quarter system at that time, I don't know if it is still like that now]. Let's just say I started off on academic probation, when I finished my first term. Again, I didn't really know how to study, and never really had to try in my prior education and did not have or seek out proper guidance to understand how to drop classes in a timely manner. This situation sent me to Calhoun Community College where I upped my GPA and earned 2 Associate degrees. Key in this situation is to always get your community college classes approved for transfer to a school like UAH prior to taking the courses. I did this and only had to contest maybe two Calhoun classes [which I successfully contested and did get the credits approved to transfer to UAH]. This was a huge win because Calhoun was way way less expensive than UAH. Fast forward a few years and I was back attending UAH. I was "undecided" for forever it seems, as I'm not engineering minded, nor gifted in math at all, and was thrilled when I found my niche at this primarily engineering school, in Liberal Arts. It took a lot of work, some help from tutors, and then more work and I finally graduated cum laude. Who hoo! I'm happy UAH is here. Two siblings got degrees here, and our Mom used to volunteer at the OLLI, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, at UAH. I've enjoyed classes which were extracurricular development and not part of my official college curriculum such as yoga, which were held at UAH, and also professional development courses I have taken here. All were organized, well done, and beneficial. U.A.H. is a reputable accredited university with, for the most part, good professors, and a nice campus. Don't rule out their Liberal Arts program, it's legit! U.A.H. is really growing, too! It looks like U.A.H. is rapidly adding more housing and parking facilities on the south side of Holmes east of the fitness center.
