Welcome!

Hi! My name is Audrey and welcome to my little corner of the Internet. I am a mom to my wonderful, spunky two year old daughter. My husband and I have been together for 10 years and live in Orange County, CA.

Like you, I spent a lot of time postpartum searching for the village I was told about. However, I quickly learned that my village had to be built. I looked at the app Peanut, joined the Facebook groups and followed the mommy influencers, but still felt like I was missing out on a larger group who I identified with. Those who wanted to live a little more slowly, were open about the highs and lows of motherhood, have our kids grow up adventuring outside instead of being tethered to devices, who came from different backgrounds but still knew the importance of letting kids be kids.

Thus, I created Little Explorers Club in April 2023. Little Explorers Club is a child-led nature playgroup located in Orange County. This blog will be an extension of the group and more!

On this blog, I aim to create a warm and supportive space for all moms out there, in whatever season you find yourself in. We are all united in the beautiful (sometimes chaotic) journey that is motherhood. The highs and lows, messy hair and homemade cookies, the quiet moments of reflection, and weekend exploring.

From group meet ups, outdoor adventures, personal anecdotes, parenting hacks, or words of encouragement, I’m here for you!

Thank you for being here as we journey through motherhood together and raise our little explorers.

With love and gratitude,

Audrey
