We had a wonderful time at our April Foster the Family Connect meeting!
We were so excited to welcome two new moms to the group—what a gift it is to grow this community together.

We also dove into ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how they impact our child’s brain, biology, behavior, belief system, and body. If you want to learn more, this is a great resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-8jTTIsJ7Q

Thank you to Christ Community Church for hosting us and to their amazing childcare team for loving on our sweet kiddos so well!

Mark your calendars for our next meeting on May 13th at 6:00 PM—we’d love to see you there!
