When was the last time you went on a date?

A play date, that is! Playdates offer a unique opportunity for them to navigate this new world and develop the lifelong skills needed for social interaction.

Gratitude is good for you.

It boosts optimism, builds stronger relationships, connects us to our community, and makes us feel good. It even benefits our mental health and changes our brains.

A gratitude practice for adults can look a myriad of different ways. But what does it look like for children?

“EEEKKK! My kids are running around like crazy people and there is CRAP everywhere! 

If you’ve been here, then congratulations, you’re a totally normal parent!

It seems like no matter what you say the entire house becomes a playground full of kids toys, craft projects, discarded shoes, the random Cheerio, and stuff! 

See springtime through your child’s eyes: Flowers are popping, birds are chirping, funny shaped clouds are floating by, there’s rain falling from the sky occasionally, and the sun is shining.

It’s absolutely magical!

Do babies play?

They’re pretty small. They’re sleeping for at least 14 hours a day. Most of the time, they just lay there.

 Is your baby already overscheduled?

In your bustling world of parenting, it's easy to over prioritize how we think our young one should be spending their time. Music classes, playgroups, screen time, socialization at daycare, spending time with other caregivers who engage your child constantly, reading time… while all of these are important parts of a child’s growth, we often overlook the importance of independent play in their development. 

You’ve dreamt of this moment and now you’re not quite sure what to do. It’s overwhelming and it seems like there is so much information coming from every direction.

The good news is that we’ve been exactly where you are now. And we can help you move forward.

You joke that the best toy you bought for your child was the box the toy came in. You’re standing in your child’s playroom, amid a sea of discarded toys, feeling overwhelmed. With each new child in your family, more money is spent on toys… and you’re not sure if any of them really add educational value to their lives.

Does that sound like you?

Okay, mama, you’re six months into your child’s life. And it’s crazy busy! Your baby may soon be on the move, rolling, sitting and even pulling up. Stimulating your now-older baby requires new activities that will help boost large and small motor skills as well as social, intellectual and language skills.
