Something new coming to Lake Forest!

The coffee will be on. The toys will be out.

If you're in the season of babies, toddlers, or preschoolers and would love a little adult conversation this summer, please join me for Moms Circle.

The environment is thoughtfully prepared with influences from Montessori and Waldorf education, with simple toys, open-ended play, and room to slow down a bit.

We'll spend some time talking about motherhood, child development, family rhythms, and whatever else is on our minds that morning. I'll share ideas from my work as a parent coach and potty training consultant, and we'll simply enjoy good conversation over coffee.

Bring your questions. Bring your wins. Bring the thing that kept you up last night.

Let's gather together, share what we're learning, and remind each other that we don't have to figure it all out on our own.
Come to one session or join us for all four.
I'd love to have you there.

Moms Circle is facilitated by Kate Cole, founder of Parent Like a Pro, and made possible through a partnership with The Community Church of Lake Forest & Lake Bluff.

The 2nd Light of Advent today at Sunday Morning Playgroup!

The second light of advent
Is the light of plants.
Plants that reach up to the sun
And in the breezes dance.

Watercolor christmas cards and toilet paper roll trees!

Little Red Riding Hood visited Sunday Morning Playgroup!

We read the book, worked on a collaborative project, and played out the story with simple props. The children could not have been sweeter.

The moral of the story: Listen to your parents and beware of strangers.
