Bringing Pinterest inspiration to life 🎓

We were so busy setting everything up that I forgot to take photos until after the party was over—but that’s usually a sign of a good one.

Cheers to the Class of 2026! Wishing you bright futures and endless possibilities ahead. ✨

For the last two years, I have been fortunate to have a front row seat to some of life’s most meaningful moments.

First birthdays. Baby showers. Launch parties.

And while the celebrations were beautiful, they were never the whole story.

A mother planning a first birthday is not just planning a party.

She is honoring a year that transformed her.

A launch party is not just an event.

It is someone deciding to be brave enough to begin.

Again and again, I have watched people create things that mattered to them. And somewhere along the way, I realized that is what I love the most.

The act of bringing an idea to life.

Over the last two years, we have learned so much while building The Play Shop. Some lessons came easily. Most came through trial, error, and the sheer will to keep going.

As we have shared our journey, you have asked thoughtful questions.

Suggestions for a small party for 5 year olds at my home?

Or… How did you build your brand?

What would you do if you were starting from scratch?

The List is our attempt to answer those questions.

It’s a place for stories, ideas, resources, encouragement, and everything we’ve learned along the way.

For the people who have followed this adventure.

For the people building something of their own.

For the people looking for a little inspiration and a few good friends along the way.

If you’ve ever wanted to step into our world, we’d love to step into yours too.

Pull up a chair.

There’s room at the table.

Introducing The List.

One thing about us?

We will rainbow organize everything before the party starts. 🌈

Found this buried in stories from a few months ago and moving it to the feed.
