Calling all moms 📣
Have you been cooped up all winter and ready to get outside? Us too! We're looking into creating a stroller club to meet once a week at a Johnson's Park to walk, talk and enjoy some time outside.

Please let us know if you're interested! Further details to come 😉

You ever notice cupid is NEVER wearing a diaper??
1 in 2 US families with young children experience diaper need.
Coincidence? I think not. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Love can be messy.... access to diapers shouldn't be. 💕

New is scary! Preschool is no different.

If your little one is scheduled to attend preschool screenings, you can help ease anxiety by preparing ahead of time with age appropriate conversation about what to expect on the day of.

This gives both parents and children a realistic guide and outline of the process of screenings and what to expect.

And who knows, you may even see us there! 😉

Big feelings in little bodies are hard work!

Fun facts about toddler emotional regulation:

-Toddlers don’t yet have the brain wiring to calm themselves—they borrow our calm first
-Deep breathing helps activate the body’s “calm down” system (even when kids don’t know why)
-Repeating simple phrases + movements helps kids remember coping skills later
-Practicing calm strategies before a meltdown makes them easier to use during one

How adults can support little regulators:

-Model the skill yourself (“I’m taking a deep breath too”)
-Keep it playful—pretend flowers, birthday candles, bubbles, or dragons breathing fire
- Use the same words every time so it becomes familiar
- Praise the effort, not perfection (“You tried taking a breath—great job!”)
-Remember: meltdowns are communication, not misbehavior

Big feelings are normal. Learning how to handle them is a skill—and skills take practice 💕

For support in this area and other that make up our little one's development - we're here to help support you along the way ☺️

We had to jump on this trend too!

It’s me, hi 👋🏻
I’m Paige ,the one behind the scenes as the Prenatal and Birth - 3 Supervisor. Chat GPT was so kind with this picture limiting the amount of sticky notes & coffee 😂☕️

So A little about me:
-I’m a wife & mom to 3 kiddos who are my entire world (secret: I was a teen mom who relied on SNAP and medicaid. No shame here.)
-My oldest child is on the Autism Spectrum and I am an avid advocate for him and the Autism community & enjoy helping families with resources.
-I was previously a nurse for 6 years before I took a leap and went back to school. I now have a Masters in Psychology, emphasis on Child & Adolescent Development.
-I love coffee (obviously), pink, flowers, sewing and diy projects.

At the end of the day, I’m a mom trying to juggle it all just like you.

The smile in my face is accurate - because I am grateful everyday to be here in this role, and have the team I do to serve families in our community ❤️

We love meeting and speaking with new parents & families, so don’t hesitate to stop & say hi.
There’s no robot here when you message us, just a real mom, speaking to other real moms 🙂
