Autumn Hangouts: Choose a time that works for you

Catch your breath and connect with like-minded parents in our drop-in autumn hangouts. We’ll make space for you to vent, validate, and detangle whatever challenges you’re facing that day.

This isn’t a book club or a collective for action. No prep work, no homework – just space for yourself in these optional drop-in hangouts offering you a moment of peace.

We’ll meet on the 2nd and 4th week each month through autumn. I’ll send the final schedule out via email by the first week of September, so choose times that work for you by 8/28.

Transitions Lab

Whether you’re struggling to get them to bed or supporting your kiddo through a big life change, share your challenges, get support and brainstorm together.

Let’s put those noggins together so you don’t have to do this alone.

September Toolkit & Story Bingo

Don’t try to tackle it all. Choose one topic to discuss with your kids this September.

I haven’t updated this toolkit for 2024 yet, but it’ll be ready in a week or so. However you can still find plenty of books, discussion guides, and activities to get you started.

And if your kiddo (or you) are up for a challenge, download this month’s story bingo and see if you can find 4 stories at your local library to complete this month’s reading challenge.

Little Wins & Failure Party

Success is over-rated. We’re all about trying over here. Whether you’ve changed 12 diapers today or finally sent that scary email – we want to celebrate the ways you’ve shown up this month.

Of course – anything worth trying is going to be hard, and more often than not, you’ll fall flat on your face. Let’s soothe the burn and celebrate what we’ve learned with a failure party!
