Emily has accomplished so much over the last three years since Hudson was born and their family began with Help Me Grow.

Emily shared that she thinks expectant and new parents considering Home Visiting should โ€œat least try itโ€”test it out. It wasnโ€™t what I expected, and it is personal, not just a curriculum.โ€ She also shared that she enjoyed all of the activities during home visits, and these pictures show the wrap-up of our time together as Hudson painted his masterpiece!

Thank you, Emily, for inviting Help Me Grow Home Visiting to be part of your journey as a parent. It has been an honor to watch all of the wonderful things you do as a mom and to celebrate the achievements youโ€™ve made over the last three years! on their recent Help Me Grow Home Visiting graduation! Emily has accomplished so much over the last three years since Hudson was born and their family began with Help Me Grow.
