Nobody told us
It is not in your head.
Nobody told us what this season would feel like. The changes, the questions, the nights we were sure it was just us. This year the Busy Mom Playdates Shades of Pink Brunch puts it on the table, out loud, in a room full of women who get it.
The room · in the thick of it
Old friends, new faces, one long table, and a whole lot of laughter. This year we are back, and we are doing it bigger.

Nobody told us we'd need our girlfriends more now than ever.

So we filled a room with the ones who already understood.

Your host
I got tired of nobody talking about the things we are all going through. So I did what I do. I brought the women together, in their pink, at one table.
Choose your shade
Pink is the dress code. Tap the shade that feels like you. Nobody asks you to explain it.
