September & October Playgroups are officially OPEN and already filling fast!🍂

A new season means exciting new changes for our amazing community and we can’t wait to share them with you!

This fall you’ll find:
✨ A refreshed playgroup schedule
✨ Lots of fun new meetup spots across the east end
✨ An expanded admin team ready to support our community
✨ The same welcoming, age-based groups that have helped thousands of local families find their village

If you’ve been thinking about joining, this is your sign. Your village won’t knock on your door—but it *is* waiting for you.

Whether you’re expecting, in the newborn haze, chasing a curious toddler, or looking for people who understand this season of life, there’s a place for you here.

Let’s make this fall one filled with connection, friendship, coffee dates, playground adventures, and people who become your village. 💛

We can’t wait to welcome you!

Your village probably won’t knock on your door.

As much as I wish it worked that way, community usually starts with one small, slightly uncomfortable step.

Sending the message.
Showing up to the playgroup.
Sitting beside someone new at the park.
Saying “Hi” first.

I know that can feel hard, especially on parental leave, when everyone else somehow seems to already have their people.
But here’s what I’ve learned after years of bringing parents together: almost everyone is hoping someone else makes the first move.

The mom you see chatting confidently? She was probably nervous once too.

Your village isn’t something you stumble across. It’s something you build, one conversation, one coffee, one park meet-up at a time.

And one day, you’ll look around and realize the people who once felt like strangers are the ones dropping off soup, texting to check in, celebrating your wins, and reminding you that you’re not doing this alone.

If you’re still looking for your people, this is your reminder to take that first step. ❤️

Tag the friend who helped become part of your village - remind them their role in your journey. Haven’t found yours yet? We got you covered. Playgroup reg now open at EastEndMomFriends.com🩵🌸

If you see two friends with one stroller, there’s a very good chance the one pushing it isn’t the mom.
Find your mom friends at East End Mom Friends - and let us help build your village🩵

September Playgroup Waitlists Are NOW LIVE! 🚨

We have something extra exciting this season… thanks to our new Scheduling & Booking Coordinator, Sam and the admin team, we’ve completely refreshed our playgroup schedules! 🎉 Think new locations, new days, new times, two new locales, and lots of fun surprises that we can’t wait to share with you.

*Why join a waitlist now?*

Before registration opens:
Waitlists help us build the best possible schedule. Join the waitlist for your preferred group(s) so we can see where demand is highest and make adjustments before registration launches. Plus, you’ll be the first to know when your group’s registration opens!

*After registration opens:*
A waitlist means the group is full. By joining it, you’re letting us know there’s still demand for that day, time, or neighbourhood. If enough families join, we’ll do our best to open an additional group during the same session.

This system helps us create schedules that reflect what our community actually wants—and means more families have the opportunity to find a group that works for them. 💛

Head over now, find your ideal playgroup(s), and join the waitlist(s)! We can’t wait to share everything we’ve been working on for September. 🍂

If you’re anything like me, you have the best intentions to organize… but between kids, work, and just trying to survive the week, you don’t have the time, energy, or brain power to make it happen.

Enter Stephanie. 🤍

She recently helped organize parts of our home for the third time, and I can’t tell you what a difference it’s made. Not only does everything have a place now, but she’s created systems that actually work for our family. I was so happy with the results, and she’ll absolutely be back for future projects.

A friend recently said something that really stuck with me: organizers and home support are part of your village. As moms, we’re so used to thinking we have to do it all ourselves, but we honestly just don’t.

So if your home has been feeling overwhelming, let Stephanie become part of your village too. You’ll wonder why you waited so long. 🏡✨
