The tavern is closing

The Tavern O' Breast Milk that is....

Yes folks, after 9 months, the Tavern will be closing within the week and ending a much enjoyed relationship with 2 very special patrons.

Unfortunately, with only 2 patrons, when they decide they like other establishments better, the Tavern loses too much business, thus having to make the decision to close. You see, our 2 patrons now prefer other places like Highchair Alley, The Land of Toys and Exercauser City. It's hard to help them remember that the Tavern O'Breast Milk is where we all started! They get very pre-occupied these days and would rather be playing or eating solid food than socializing at the Tavern.

This is bittersweet for the owner/operater, The Mama. The Mama is excited to have her body back, all to herself....18-19 months is a long time to be providing for 3 people. The Mama is excited to wear normal bras again, and maybe even buy some new ones. She's very ready to throw all nursing pads out the window and not have to worry about whether or not you can see the pads through her shirt, also known as "Show Through." She's ready to have a glass of wine IF she ever wanted one. Not that she does very often at all, but now she CAN HAVE ONE IF SHE WANTS TO!!! HAHAAAAA!

The Mama is also sad to see the Tavern close though. She has enjoyed her time with the only 2 patrons for a long time now and she feels that it's very special to them. She hopes that by keeping the Tavern open for as long as she did it will help the 2 patrons grow big and strong and have a nice, healthy immune system. The Mama is also sad that formula will be taking the place of the Tavern as the Tavern was rent-free, whereas formula is NOT.

The Tavern O'Breast Milk has had some good times and some bad. We thought it would go out of business long before now but it hung in there. It made it! And for that The Mama is very grateful and thankful. The doors will be open another week or so, but hours are shortened and inventory is low. Patrons, and you know who you are, don't waste any time! Visit when you can and drink up!

Long live The TOBM!

It is bitter sweet - but helps when they are ready to move on. Just 3 short months of formula won't be too bad. Let me know what brand you go with and if I have coupons come my way, I'll send them along.
