Anna and I are still in awe of the incredible turnout for our first Mommy & Me Gathering last Friday. We spent the morning enjoying all that the Wabana Township park has to offer! They have some brand new playground equipment (including a zip line that was a huge hit!), swings, picnic tables, grassy areas, a sandbox, and a pavilion that came in especially handy when a few sprinkles rolled through. They also have basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts!
What started as a simple idea (a casual space for moms to connect while littles play) turned into some serious core memories in the making!
We welcomed moms and children from Hill City, Virginia, Northome, Grand Rapids, Nashwauk, Blackberry, and more. Seeing families travel from all across the area reminded us just how much the Northwoods needs opportunities for connection, community, and support in this season of motherhood.
There was laughter, conversation, new and old friendships, shared stories, little feet running through across the play area, and plenty of moments that reminded us we aren't meant to do motherhood alone.
Thank you to every mama who came, introduced herself, brought a friend, chased a toddler, held a baby, shared encouragement, or simply showed up. You helped create the warm, welcoming atmosphere we were hoping for!
And because of the overwhelming interest and positive feedback, we're excited to announce that we'll be gathering again!
🌊 Save the Date: Friday, July 17th
We'll be meeting for a Beach Day - Mommy & Me Gathering with access to a kid-friendly swimming beach, playground, and pavilion. More details and registration information will be coming soon, but for now, mark your calendars!
Thank you for helping us build this beautiful community. We can't wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones next month!
