Big feelings over here. 🥹💕

We just had our very last party at the original Rutabaga space, and it was absolutely perfect. 💗 We’re going to miss our cozy little space and all the sweet memories made here more than we can say!

But don’t worry… this is just the beginning! 🌱✨

We can’t WAIT to start parties at our new space, with:
🎉 So much more space
🎈 A private party room
👯‍♀️ increased guest capacity
🎨 More party options + add-ons

And if you book now, you can lock in our current price of just $350 before we increase pricing for the new space! 💕

Don’t know your date yet? No problem! As always you can rest easy knowing you can reschedule at any time with no penalty.

Goodbye, Conrad Rutabaga… and hello to our next chapter! 🥹🌱💗

Join us for our LAST Volunteer Day before our big opening (can you believe it?!) 🎉

Our volunteer days have been so much fun and essential to making this community dream come true! We still have LOTS to accomplish, and we'd love your hands and help. No special skills necessary, just come ready to get a little dirty!

We have all kinds of jobs for all kinds of folks. If you've been meaning to come to one, here's your chance!

📍 Sat, Aug 29 | 2-5PM
📍 3301 Scotts Lane (corner of Scotts & Crawford)
👉 No kids please, our space isn't kid friendly right now

Can't make it? Don't worry, there will be more opportunities in the next few weeks to help us actually move into our new space! Many hands make light work, and we're so grateful to everyone who's already raised theirs. 💚

🚚 We’ll be closed September 8–12 while we make the big move
🔑 We reopen at our NEW SPACE for members only on September 14th

Whose idea was it to schedule trivia night in the middle of our busiest move month?! 😂 (Ours, apparently.)

We're postponing our Quizzo Fundraiser, we just don't have the capacity to give it the energy it deserves right now. But we're still hoping to host a fundraiser night in our new space once we're settled in! We'll still need your support even after we open, there are so many dream projects to fund.

And just because we're not hosting an event doesn't mean you can't support us. We're HALFWAY to our fundraising goal, and any bit helps us get there! 💚

We'll still be doing our silent auction, so keep an eye out for that soon!

Thanks for all your support and understanding- we are feeling all the community love as we ramp up the work to finish the new space.

🌱 It's been pure magic watching our little sprouts grow more confident, on their own and with their peers, through Morning Sprouts!

This program is the perfect way to practice drop-off and school routines before preschool (ages 1.5-3) 💜

We're pausing in September for our big move, then ramping back up in October with even MORE days! Our new space means room to grow, and we're hoping to offer at least 3 mornings a week.

But we need your help to plan it right! Fill out our quick survey and tell us what works best for your family 👉 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJMOrZC7aWEYxP2igFgaVybUBgh42E9ZKCDnyYLaT4lepV1g/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=113886706945926708019
