I was the mom that thought I would have little ones and go right back to work like nothing changed, but nothing could be farther from it. From the moment I became a mom, I was forever changed and didn't even know it.

During maternity leave, I loved setting up sensory activities for my sweet daughter and now her brother. One day, I made homemade play dough and my daughter loved it. We played together screen-free for hours. In fact, she chose play dough time over TV! I knew I was onto something. He older cousin loved the play dough. Her friends all loved the play dough and then somewhere in there YOT TOT Play as we know it today was born.

I then became obsessed with making the perfect textured play dough and fun themes. I think the biggest joy in this is that I get to spend this time with my littles, building something they can enjoy with me and with each other. I firmly believe that life comes from you, not at you. I want my life to be one that is filled with memories of my babies playing and learning with me.
