Happy Lunar New Year!!!
Hi Sprinkles Parents,
Typically we like to send these emails every Tuesday but last week we dropped the ball. Just like with kids, we try to be consistent and organized, but then blow outs, throw up, snot and all other fun child bodily fluids happen. Seriously though, is there a full moon? For some reason, my kids stopped sleeping through the night, and folks have been texting me about their kids' sleep regressions, night terrors and nap protests as well! In order to better support you, Sprinkles Parents is going to kick off a weekly parenting group on Fridays at 11am. This week we will be talking about napping (the rest of the schedule is below). We will end each month by bringing in an expert to talk about various topics. For this month, we will talk about Will’s Trust and Estate planning if anyone would like to join.
Last night kicked off the Lunar New Year. How did you celebrate? How did you educate your families about it? Here are a few fun ideas we had:
Red envelope swap (babies wave it, toddlers can count the dollars/coins)
Eating candies (we brought out the leftover Halloween stash out)
It’s the Year of the Tiger, so a few fun songs to play for the kids are:

Email us with any other ideas!
Based on the success of our last Toy Swap (La Clinica says thank you btw) we have decided to do monthly swaps in order to keep your toys fresh and recycle them. On February 26th, we will have our next Toy Swap and have partnered with Loop for raffle prizing and premium toys to test out. Tickets will include coffee/snacks. You can buy them online or in-person.
Every week we continue to grow. Our next project is we plan to ceate a mentorship program between parents, so that you get that 1:1 connection, support, and guidance from someone who has been there (and maybe get some sweet hand-me-down clothes while we’re at it!).
As always, we appreciate you being a part of Sprinkles Parents and helping to grow and support the parenting community. See you virtually this Friday!!!
