True North website will launch January 15th!

So, we were hoping to have True North Parenting up and running by the first, but unforeseen forces held us up (Ok, our estimate was a little naïve). Not to fear! We are working tirelessly and are pleased to announce that IT'S OFFICIAL! we will be live on January 15th.

We’ve had a sneak peak at the site and are extremely pleased and excited it share it with all Central Oregon parents. Remember, we are always looking for new articles and pics so drop us a line or send your work our way.

Thanks,
The True North Team
