Our next NKOTB Postpartum Meetup is Thursday, April 2nd!

We’re switching things up this time due to no school on Friday, April 3rd, but it’s still the same time and same welcoming space 💛

The early weeks and months of parenting can feel both utterly magical and incredibly overwhelming, sometimes all before lunch. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

🗓 Thursday, April 2
⏰ 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
📍 New Hartford Public Library – Sammon Room
✨ More Info: https://www.facebook.com/share/18P9PT4TEX/

NKOTB is a warm, welcoming space for new parents and their babies. It’s a place to find peace, honesty, friendship, shared experience, and real support. A space where you can talk openly about how wonderful (and how hard) this season can be, with non-judgmental acceptance and support.

Each meetup includes:
✨ Gentle check-ins
👶 Baby snuggles, brags & vents
💬 Open discussions on any new mom-related topics

No pressure. No expectations. Just community.

There’s no need to sign up—just bring yourself and your baby. We can’t wait to welcome you 💕

One of the best parts of Flow & Grow? The community. 🤍

Pregnancy can feel overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to do it alone. This 5-week prenatal workshop brings expectant moms together to stretch, learn, ask questions, and support each other through the journey to birth and postpartum.

The worst part about it? When it ends, and your Monday evenings free up. We encourage the mommas to keep the convos going, and continue to connect and support each other through this journey!

We start Monday, April 13th! We'd love to have you join us in our circle, register now to save your spot.

“To live inside the tenderness
That we’ll ache to come back to one day. “

Motherhood is so many things, and can look so many different ways. It’s always important to give yourself some grace, do what you can do and cuddle those babies.

Let’s plan another NKOTB meetup soon, mommas? Who’s with me? 🥰🥰
