  • Prairie Ridge Ecostation

     Let’s meet up for a Nature Play Day! This is an outdoor event, so bringing sunscreen, snacks, water, and a change of clothes for little ones is a good idea. I will be packing a picnic lunch and a blanket for myself and my son. If you’d like to do so too, we can all eat together after playing! Here is a more detailed description of the event from the Ecostation’s website: 

    “Come out and play! The Nature PlaySpace will be stocked with extra special materials and supplies to encourage play and a Museum play facilitator will be present to help you play your way. Supplies may vary from week to week, but may include fun things like fort-building equipment, puppets and costumes, bubbles, paint, giant blocks, and more.

    This is a free, drop-in event. Staff and supplies will be available from 10:00-12:00. Come dressed for the weather and ready to get messy! Everyone is welcome at the Nature PlaySpace, but it has been designed especially for kids 7 and younger.” https://naturalsciences.org/calendar/event/nature-play-day-7-2025-01-28/2025-06-17/

I was hesitant to go to a “mom meetup” because of the stigma of a moms group. But I’m glad my husband pushed me to meet new people. The group has been filled with cool, real, fun moms. Everyone brings something unique to the group and I look forward to our meetups!

— Kristen

I'm so glad I decided to check out thrive motherhood 's mom's night out. It's hard for me to make time for myself but whenever I go  to the events/meetups/playdates, I leave feeling happy and lighter and I make wonderful connections with other cool moms. I also laugh a ton and have shared with other moms who ended up losing it as well!

— Janet

I genuinely look forward to the 3rd Thursday of the month because I know it’s mom’s meet up day. The moms are fun and come from all walks of life. It’s my time to take time for myself. I love that we switch it up and go places where we can get fancy or keep it chill.
