That moment you pull a friend’s book off your shelf to read to a client and find the signature of your friend who passed. . . Instant tears . . . And now I (PCSI) have to buy another book from myself (Serendipity) because that one is now pulled for my own private collection. . . 🥹 That shows how often I look at the inside cover . . . I did not remember that being there. I miss her . . .

Who will be the last bear cub? This is so exciting!!

🐻 The list is almost complete…

When we opened enrollment for Mama’s Monthly Miniatures, we hoped 50 people would believe in this dream.

Fifty people who wanted more than just a box of miniatures.

Fifty people who wanted to be part of something from the very beginning.

Today, 49 of those spots are spoken for.

There is only ONE Founding Bear Cub spot remaining.

One final number.
One final place in the first class of Bear Cubs.
One final chance to be part of the beginning.

Tonight at midnight, enrollment closes and the Founding Bear Cub chapter comes to an end.

The boxes will still be here.

But this group?
This first group?

There will never be another one like it. 💜

🐻 ONE SPOT LEFT

⏰ Enrollment closes tonight at midnight.

Will your name be the last one written on the list?

I am so grateful for the knowledge Dr. Landreth shared with the world. . . Prayers for his family and the play therapy community.

Hmmmm To be a founding Bear Cub or not to be . . . That is the question . . . 🤔🤪🤣🥰

🎉 THE BOX IS HERE!!! 🎉

After months of dreaming, planning, designing, and waiting... the very first Mama's Monthly Miniatures boxes have arrived! 💜🐻

I may have squealed a little when I opened the shipment. 🤭

Soon these boxes will be filled with miniatures, self-care treasures, sensory goodies, encouragement, and a whole lot of Mama's love.

And honestly...

Wouldn't you love to see this show up at your door? 💜

🐻 Founding Bear Cub enrollment is open now.

Packed with love by Mama for her Bear Cubs. 💜

🦇 I wasn't planning to spend my week obsessively refreshing subscription numbers, but here we are. 🦇

Holy smokes, Batman.

You all are making Mama work for that nurse paycheck. 😂🐻💜

Watching the Bear Cub community grow has been amazing, and I love seeing therapists get excited about miniatures, symbolism, sensory tools, and yes...

🐉 Dragon eggs. 🐉

Because apparently we can take the therapist out of the fandom, but we can't take the fandom out of the therapist.

When Mama and I first started talking about this subscription, we hoped a few people would think it was a fun idea.

Instead, we're watching Bear Cubs from all over claim their spots, and it has been such a joy to see.

So to everyone who has already joined us...

💜 Thank you.
💜 Thank you for believing in this crazy idea.
💜 Thank you for helping us build this community.

And to everyone still thinking about it...

The dragon eggs are waiting.

🐉 DRACARYS! 🐉

Now let's see how many states we can reach before enrollment closes. 👀🐻💜
