If finding daycare in the Lower Mainland is currently your full-time job… we see you.

The endless waitlists, unanswered emails, giant spreadsheets, and wondering if you should’ve started applying before you were even pregnant. 🥴 Isn't it bonkers?!

While we still need BIG systemic change to tackle the childcare crisis (get out there and vote!), two local parents are turning their own frustrations into solutions for the rest of us.

Raisin (raisin app), founded by Vancouver parents Geetika & Shikhar, helps you get organised in the early days, from finding daycare options to managing applications and follow-ups.

(Pssst: 50 MF members get free access to their premium features... see msg in whatsapp)

Little Scout (Little Scout), founded by East Vanner Ella Dalling, helps you find actual available childcare spots when the time comes to secure a space. And is free to use 🙌

Different approaches, same goal: making the childcare hunt a little less chaotic for other families ❤️

Kids have an annoying little habit of growing out of things approximately five minutes after you buy them (or in my case, they’ll refuse to wear them until they are much too small!).

Managing their wardrobe can quickly become a full-time job, but there's one way to help make things a little easier on your brain and your wallet. Consignment.

There's so many benefits... Environment. Money. Efficiency? There’s no reason NOT to!

On Thursday, Cayley | Matrescence Educator and I were invited onto Global BC with Sonia Sunger to chat about the MotherFlock picnic & how gathering in community is so important for new moms. 

On Friday, over 200 moms gathered at Trout Lake in Vancouver. The picnic was SO lovely, and a fantastic celebration of the community we have built over the last 16 months here at The MotherFlock, and all the moms that make it what it is. But as we know, it's about something much bigger than our picnic. The work we're doing is an important grassroots movement that's trying to fill a huge gap in maternal maternal health and postpartum care. Many moms have said that being a part of The MotherFlock has significantly and positively impacted their postpartum experience and maternity leave. 

The fact is, this is something that SHOULD be provided by the government, but isn't. As Cayley mentioned, these gaps in postpartum support have generational impacts, and affect society as a whole. And as we're seeing in the media, with Lindsay Clancy, Hayden Panettiere, and locally with the tragic case of Jenna Dorman (In Her Circle), the result of these gaps can be devastating. Perinatal mental healthcare needs work on a global level, bt with the passing of Bill M204 in 2025, we thought there may be hope for some improvements for BC moms. Last week's 2027 budget recommendations hinted it isn't looking likely. 

We're so lucky to have people like Cayley | Matrescence Educator advocating on topics like matrescence & maternal mental health, & Sonia Sunger for helping shine a light on it. In the meantime, we'll keep doing what we're doing. Our 6 week postpartum group is the baby group with a difference... it's all about mom. I truly believe that every mom should have access to this type of program as they transition out of midwifery care, or beyond.

As a mom-led, community-driven, grassroots movement, we don't have the money/time for marketing, & very much rely on word of mouth (shout out to all those MF moms who have been spreading the word ❤️). If you know of someone who is pregnant, or a new mom, help us to spread the word. Our goal is to keep reaching more moms, and hopefully more communities across BC... & b
