Cafe au Play

May 18 @ 10:30am to Noon – Krafty Kids Art Program facilitated by Joyce Welsh! Suggested Donation $2/child.

Ahoy matey!!  We are doing a Pirate Project tomorrow!  Don’t miss out on making this awesome Pirate Hat!  Also, you will be given your very own eye patch and Joyce will twist you a balloon sword to take home so you play pirate the rest of the day!

This art program is designed to be welcoming to all children including toddlers. We emphasize the process of creating art and not the final product. Children are encouraged to experiment with a variety of art mediums, be creative, and most of all, have fun!

Coming up Sunday, May 19 @ 12:30-1:30pm – Parenting workshop hosted by Sarah Nuxoll of welcomewithlovefamilycare.com:  When Life Hands Us Lemons: What We Do Next Is Up To Us!

Kids are welcome to join us at Cafe au Play. $5-$10 suggested donation is truly appreciated. For more details or to RSVP, email sarahnuxoll@gmail.com or call 503-285-4906.

Sarah is trying something new — she is offering a conference call option, so that anyone can call in and participate by phone, no matter where you are!

Conference call workshop: Sunday, May 19 @ 4-5:30pm Pacific/7-8:30pm Eastern.

Topic: “This isn’t what I signed up for, I want outta here!” When life throws us a curveball — changes in our health, unexpected single parenting, financial challenges, you name it — it’s natural to feel like you just want out! Join us in this interactive workshop to get some support, take a deeper look at what life is presenting us, and help each other make a new, creative commitment to embracing the messiness of our lives, with some fun along the way too!

Cafe au Play wishes all mothers a special day filled with special gifts of every kind from your loved ones.

I know firsthand the joys and tribulations of motherhood – my daughter Sophia is my pride and joy.  She is thirteen years old.  In the card she gave me this morning her first sentence was: “I can’t figure out how you manage everything and you are still the best mom in the world.”  I think that sums it up!  As mothers, we do our best to handle everything that comes our way because we want to be the best mother we can be.  So even when we fail, we know we have tried to be the best mom in the world!  It is a big responsibility so it is important to celebrate our successes!  Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Best, Kristin Heying

If you happen to stop by Cafe au Play today, we have a special free treat for all mothers – a mini vegan chocolate cupcake made special for you by staff member Erik Killops!  Enjoy!
