I’ve had the outstanding privilege of helping 14 different families already! I couldn’t be more grateful for the acceptance of this type of help into this area! So many people don’t understand what the hype is, until they try it, and most are just absolutely so thankful once they give it a go! I do help a little less during the summer now that I want a little more dedicated time with the boys, and I already have a chunk of July/August reserved, but for those who might be interested in this wonderful resource this fall or would want to introduce it as a gift for a loved one, just send me a message and I’d love to answer any questions!

Summer is at our heels! As always, I would love to add any other events in the surrounding communities if I’ve missed any, but here’s a jump start to help make this break memorable for you and your family! Check back in a week or two for a gathering of picnics/festivals and vacation bible schools! Also a quick note that effingham usually does $1 movies for kids in the summer, they just haven’t posted the line up yet!

To every mother — whether you are carrying life, bringing a baby into the world, healing after birth, raising children, grieving, hoping, or learning yourself all over again — your strength is extraordinary.

As a doula, I have witnessed the quiet courage of mothers in their most vulnerable and powerful moments. I’ve seen love begin before a first breath, resilience rise through exhaustion, and tenderness transform entire families.

Motherhood is not about perfection. It is about presence, sacrifice, intuition, and the endless capacity to nurture even when your own heart is tired.

Today, may you feel honored for all the invisible work you do, all the love you give, and all the ways you show up every single day. You are seen. You are valued. You are deeply appreciated.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who birth, mother, support, and love so fiercely. Your care changes the world.

Followers, I need your help!

🎉FREE one time admission will be presented at first time visit for each participant! So keep reading!

There is a large pegboard wall in our hallway that we need remodeled! Paint and wallpaper just don’t cover it & it’s really eating at me.
I finally had an idea! Nothing seems more appropriate than having our locals put their work on display, sooooo

🎨✨ I am calling All Little Artists & Mamas! ✨🎨

At The Play Social, i believe happiness looks different through a child’s eyes 💛

I’m inviting all Effingham and surrounding areas all to paint a canvas that represents what happiness means to them! Whether it’s sunshine, tractors, unicorns, family, rainbows, or their favorite place to play—we want to see it all 🌈
Parents & caregivers, feel free to paint with them!
The canvas can be any size.
➡️Please be sure to include name and age on the painting so it is visible 🤍

🖌️ Once completed, you can drop off by the mailbox in our foyer at 201 west Jefferson, suite 4! I will check daily! Drops off will start April 27th until May 15th throughout week days between 8-5 pm.

These canvases will be proudly displayed in our hallway as part of a special community art wall!

✨✨ As a thank you, we’ll be selecting 5 special canvases to win a FREE month membership to The Play Social, including a specialty drink card including 10 drinks for child or adult!✨✨

Help me fill our space with joy, creativity, and the beautiful perspective of our littles.

I like to read so you don’t have to! I love my growing lending library! All in person consultations will receive a book, just a small token to help with those restless nights😉 but if any mom.. family.. friend.. kind person would ever like one for themselves, or for another, just ask! I love hunting down books, and try to collect a wide variety to help all the wonderful types of families I get to meet! All free!
