I’ve been going to baby showers for a long time now. Many of my friends are a decade older than me, so in my late 20’s and early 30’s, many of my Sundays were spent hungover, playing horrendous baby poop themed games. And now over a decade later, I’m a mother of a 4 year old and I still go to a few baby showers a year – although usually a little less hungover.
Ending 2023 with some joyful noise! In our second year, the Brood team poured 7,500+ hours into providing hands-on care and education for over 500 families. Since our March 2022 launch, we’ve been there for 2,500+ parents and babies—enough to fill the Orpheum Theatre!
However, finding the holiday spirit is not only possible but incredibly rewarding in these circumstances. You shouldn’t have to miss out on the fun so I wanted to share some thoughtful strategies and practical tips to help both expectant parents and on-call careworkers infuse the magic of the season into their lives, fostering joy, relaxation, and celebration amidst their unique situations!
