The Monthly Playdate | July
Scoop, There It is!
Hi friend,
Doesn’t it feel like summer just started… and yet somehow, we’re already halfway through the year? Wild.
Whether your days are full of road trips or rest, cookouts or quiet mornings at home, this season holds a quiet invitation to slow down and savor what’s right in front of us. The sticky hands. The unhurried meals. The laughter that floats through open windows. These small, ordinary things are the ones that often shape a childhood.
This month’s Playdate is here to help you embrace those everyday moments with intention. Inside, you’ll find simple tools to create connection through play.
The theme? 🍦Ice cream. Because life often grows in the smallest scoops of joy.
You’ll find something for:
You. A five-minute voice memo for the moms who want to slow down, be present, and still support their child’s learning through everyday moments. Here are 3 grounding questions I’m asking myself this summer.
Your child. Printable activity + ice cream menu to spark imagination, language, and playful connection.
Your home. A small idea to bring rhythm, presence, and purpose to your routines.
