Sigh. Gone are the days of graciously easing our manicured paws into the car and painstakingly turning the key into the ignition after an easy afternoon of chatting with our esthetician. Now, we're lucky if we can make it out the salon door without a dropped pacifier setting off the smudges. 
Thank heavens we've found a place where we can indulge in mani's and pedi's without worrying about mishaps (like say, chasing your toddler with spacers between your toes). Belles Mamans is a brand new mom destination, boasting a spa, boutique, play-care centre and classes. So while we indulge in a manicure ($20-25), pedicure ($40-45) or massage ($65-95), our rug rats can roam free during play care ($8/hr, $6/hr for members).
We're so happy with our find, we could give our new esthetician a high five. (That is, if it didn't smudge our nail polish.)
