If you have a little one stating Kindergarten IN September 🥹, NOW is the time to start looking at backpacks, lunch bags and bento boxes. It’s only 6 weeks until July 1st and you need time to practice through the summer.

Our shelves are currently well stocked with options, and our Herschel selection is the best it will be all summer. Yes, there will be a few new prints arriving in June, but some of our current best-sellers (now discontinued) will no longer be available. Stop in soon to have your little one choose!

Herschel is an amazing quality - a Canadian brand 🇨🇦 with a lifetime warranty. We have sizes suitable for kindergarten through college.

VACATION NOTICE: We will be CLOSED July 5th-August 4th for the summer. Stop in before we close so you’ll have time to PRACTICE all summer long.

This weekend is the first long weekend of the summer! Something I’ve noticed in my own life, but also as pattern that shows up often as I coach busy, overwhelmed mamas, is the ability to plan ahead is a SKILL. As you look towards your week ahead, did you notice this weekend is Victoria Day? It seems early this year, but none-the-less, when planning your week, let’s consider what you might need since it’s coming up fast. ❤️

Please note our store hours this week, and stop in soon for sunhats, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug/tick spray, and anything else you might need for the beautiful week ahead. Thanks for your support as we enjoy this time with our family!

Happy Birthday to our MAY babies & kiddos! My youngest has a May birthday and all my kids are officially over 10. 😭 Luckily I have a new generation of babies to love with the arrival of my little grandson, but cuddle those littles close. The time really does fly by.

If you’re on our Birthday Club list check your email for a birthday surprise. 🎈🎉

I had mentioned on a recent post that I believe EVERY business needs to be drafting their AI policy so consumers know who they are speaking with, and what part AI plays in their businesses.

I recently purchased a course from someone I have purchased numerous courses from in years past. As soon as I opened it, I knew this was different. I didn’t think to ask, and now I have a program I can’t do anything with because it was clearly written by AI.

For this particular program, AI shouldn’t have had any part in it. I was buying it for the expertise of the individual, and she unfortunately outsourced this to a bot. The new course had zero personality - it was cold and lifeless. My mistake. I will ALWAYS be asking going forward.

With that said, I wanted to take the opportunity to clearly state the AI policy of both Parenting By Nature AND Mothering Wellness Coaching Co. AI has no place in our marketing, our newsletters, our programs, or our coaching. Everything you read will always be written by a real human.

If you’re a client of our coaching program - your program, your checkin’s, your responses are all created, read and responded to with all the presence, understanding and connection of a real human. I will at some point share what’s happening within the coaching industry with AI but again, it is not something I utilize. Wellness coaching requires someone personal to hold space, show up where you need it, and offer support the way a bot simply cannot. AI just can’t. 🙄

I hope this helps our customers and clients know where we stand. And if you’re getting tired of everything sounding like it’s robotic and void of depth and personality, so. am. I.

Stop into the store for real conversation, anytime. ❤️

I put out some new magical & mesmerizing glitter wands! These make great focus and concentration tools, are perfect for quiet time bins or practicing early meditation moments.

Of course they also make things disappear with the right chant (abracadabra!).

Classic, open-ended creative toys for the win! That’s why our customers love shopping at Parenting By Nature. ❤️

(ps. it’s also because we’re a human and don’t outsource to AI. At all. Not for our marketing, not in our newsletters, and not when we respond. That’s our policy.)

Lots of great Headster options in store now, sizing from 4 months to Adult available. These also make a great birthday gift when your child brings home the invitation for that kiddo you don’t know. 😬 Easy to size and we make it EASY to exchange if they don’t love the print you picked out. Fun fact: we’ve sold hundreds of Headster and have had almost zero returns!
