In this house, we build blanket forts AND we make art rooted in play, creativity, and connection.

We believe play isn’t just for kids. It’s how we explore, express, and make sense of the world around us. Through art therapy, we create environments that feel safe, flexible, and full of possibility—where people can show up as they are and let their imagination lead.

Because when we allow ourselves to play, we make space for healing, growth, and belonging. 🧡

Yesterday at Creative Clubhouse we let our imaginations run wild and built our very own creatures 🐉🦀✨ Using magazine cutouts, participants designed unique, one-of-a-kind animals that reflect their personalities, strengths, and interests.

From wings for quick getaways to tough shells for protection, every detail had meaning 💭 Kids explored what makes them *them*—creatively piecing together traits, skills, and quirks into playful, visual forms.

This process invited self-expression, storytelling, and a deeper look at identity… all through the magic of collage 💛✂️

Last week at Creative Clubhouse we mixed play, creativity, and a little bit of mindfulness magic ✨🎨 We played BINGO—but with a twist! Each participant received a bingo card and a tub of play dough, then set off exploring the clubhouse to collect unique texture prints.

From bumpy to smooth, tiny to bold, the group slowed down to really notice the small details around them 👀 This “sneaky” art activity turned into a meaningful way to practice mindfulness, stay present, and spark creativity—all while having a ton of fun 💛

We love finding playful ways to build skills and make art accessible for everyone!

💭 What textures would YOU go searching for?

It’s here 🚐✨ I’ve been holding onto this vision for a while now… and getting the trailer makes it feel real in a whole new way (like… wait this is actually happening?? 🥹💫) I put together some inspo + mockups to show the vibe I’ve been dreaming about—cozy, creative, a little nostalgic, and really centered on connection, care, and making art feel accessible 🎨✨

After nearly a year and a half of dreaming, planning, and a lot of hands-on work, the trailer for Creative Routes Mobile Art Studio is officially built. Sitting in that doorway and standing inside the space for the first time felt a little surreal (in the best way).

This project has always meant so much to me. It’s not just about building a studio—it’s about creating a space where people can show up as they are, make art, share their stories, and experience healing in a way that feels accessible and real. We've come a long way from just a year ago, but there's still so much more to do before we can get our wheels rolling!

Now, the focus shifts to the inside space where all of the magic will happen. I’m so excited to start bringing it all together—cozy seating, art supplies, thoughtful details—everything that will make this space feel warm, welcoming, and easy to settle into.

There’s still a lot ahead, but this feels like such a big step forward.

If you want to follow along, learn more about Creative Routes, or support the build, I’d love to have you here for it 💖

Hello Everyone!

As you may already know, Creative Routes Mobile Art Studio is about to take a pause! As we prepare to welcome our new baby, we’re stepping back to create space for quiet, connection, and the new rhythms of life with a growing family.

Starting today through April 6th, 2026, the studio will be closed. During this time, we will not be answering calls or emails, and all outreach and programming will be on hold. This is a time for us to fully immerse ourselves in this new chapter, learning, adjusting, and simply being together as a growing family.

While things may be quiet on the surface, changes are still happening behind the scenes. I promise to share updates as things move along, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on when we return in April.

A gentle reminder: If you or someone you know needs immediate support during this time, please reach out to trusted mental health resources or crisis lines. Your well-being matters, and help is always available.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for holding space with us during this intimate season of family and growth. 💛

📣Reminder: our weekly Creative Clubhouse group is at the DAR Boys & Girls Club TONIGHT(02/17/2026) from 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm! We would love to see your child there!

Through guided art-making and gentle emotional skill-building, kids learn tools they can use at home, in school, and in friendships. This group is especially helpful for children who may struggle with anxiety, big emotions, social challenges, or simply need a space where they feel seen and supported.

If your child is already a member of the DAR Boys & Girls Club, make sure they’re signed up for Creative Clubhouse — spots fill quickly, and we want to make sure your child has a place!

Not yet a member? Now is a wonderful time to enroll so your child can benefit from this unique blend of creativity, connection, and emotional growth.

Let’s help our kids create, cope, and thrive — one art project at a time. 💫
