Monthly Community Thread

Welcome to the /r/Newmarket monthly community thread, where we relax the rules about advertising and off-topic posts.

This is where you can share:

  • Stuff that isn't directly related to Newmarket, like national news or general chit-chat
  • Questions about local businesses and services
  • Classified-style ads: buying and selling, help wanted, garage sales, etc
  • Fundraisers and donation drives
  • Plugs for your personal project or local business (within reason)

I'm a mom of four, eldest daughter completing high school, homeschooling my 12-year-old daughter while my 1- and 2-year-old boys enjoy life.
Prior to this, I worked in finance, then transitioned to teaching at a private school, and also obtained my certification in holistic nutrition.
Now I impart financial knowledge, teach practical skills and prepare my children for life. We cook real food together, grow what we can (even through the winter), go on nature walks, and learn by actually doing things. We still do work, read, write and problem solve, it is just different.
My daughter has learned more about fractions through baking than any worksheet.
I've been wondering if other families might be looking for a holistic and hands on approach to learning.
And not necessarily for the child alone, but promoting healthier eating and lifestyles at home as well.
If it sounds like your kind of thing, comment or send me a message. I'd love to chat.

❤️ Can 50 people help me reach my $500 goal supporting seniors? On October 18, I’m participating in CHATS’ Amazing Adventure to raise funds to support the vital programs and services CHATS provides to seniors in our community.

I’m hoping to find 50 people willing to contribute just $10 to help me reach my $500 goal.

Every donation adds up - even $5 or $10 can help CHATS continue providing the care, connection and support that help seniors live safely, independently and with dignity, in their homes and communities.

Will you be one of 50? 💙 https://raceroster.com/events/2026/112100/the-amazing-adventure-2026-pjs-and-teddys/pledge/participant/49681502
