A little peek inside the TMA WhatsApp group chat from September.

Childcare leads. Recommendations. Hand-me-downs. Last-minute saves. And, of course, plenty of plans to get together IRL.

The best part? You never quite know what you’ll find when you open the chat.

Not in the group yet? You’re missing out.

Such a fun NYC parent event!

A few things I’ve learned building a parent community over the past few years 🤍

The behind-the-scenes work isn’t always visible — the planning, emails, venues, logistics, and all the little details that go into creating these spaces.

But the best part is seeing what happens when everyone arrives: parents meeting new people, kids having fun, and families finding a community that feels like theirs.

That’s the heart of TMA.

Parenting doesn’t have to be done alone.
