Theme: Hidden Gems: (Home is Where the Heart Is)
Friday, June 20, 2025 From 12 – 1:30 pm CT

Every child has something extraordinary to offer. By embracing their true selves, we unlock their full potential, incredible qualities, talents, and resilience that may not always be immediately visible. Through shared stories, we will uncover the hidden gems that shine brightly once we truly see them for who they are. Join this Café conversation as we explore the unique journey of raising an LGBTQ+ child. Let’s embrace the hidden gems within each of our families.

Theme: This Is Not A Drill
Friday, July 11, 2025, 12:00pm – 1:30 pm CT
Wednesday, July 9, 2025, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm CT

No practice runs. No pause button. Just you, your child, and a world that’s moving at full speed. Whether you're navigating toddler tantrums, tween eye-rolls, or teen tech obsessions, one thing is clear: this is not a drill—this is parenting in real time! Parenting is about tuning in, showing up, and leading with love—even when you're running on caffeine and chaos. Come laugh, learn, and connect with other parents who are also figuring it out as they go. Because let’s be honest—there’s no script, but we can be ready for the everyday adventures of parenting.
