Making Time for Mommy is a supportive craft and discussion class for pregnant and postpartum moms focused on self-care, stress reduction, creativity, and connection. Each session features a simple hands-on craft activity and guided discussion. This class is designed specifically for moms only, so please make arrangments for childcare. We strive to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere for all participants, with the goal of reducing stress rather than completing projects quickly; participants are welcome to continue and finish projects during future classes if needed. Class size is limited to 10 participants to encourage meaningful connection and support. All materials provided and class will close 48 hours in advance to ensure we have enough materials. Craft changes monthly. 

Feel free to bring your own craft if you do not want to participate in the one that is provided!

Please arrive to class at least 10 minutes before class starts. If babywearing, you are welcome to babywear in class.

Childwatch is available upon request (call 210-222-0988 or email Sandy sbello@ccaosa.org)
