Where are my OG followers at?!
Do you remember waaaaay back when my kiddos were little and I made seasonal playgroup schedules for Medicine Hat? That chapter feels like a lifetime ago as the kids grew and playgroups faded out of my world......
Fast forward to now, I’m working with the amazing Julia Lacey - Royal LePage Community Realty, and as a mom of two young girls, she asked me to bring these schedules back as a community guide for local families. I always loved creating these, so I’m grateful to bring them back to life through my work with her......
Sharing here for anyone not following her yet, but be sure to tag along there to catch the updated version each season.

Happy Monday, everyone. While we’ve enjoyed a beautiful start to 2026, winter is coming, and we felt now was the perfect time to share this updated schedule with you.

As a busy mom of two young girls, I know how valuable it is to have simple, local resources for families. Natalie and I put together this design so all the details are in one easy place, here is your:
>>> Medicine Hat Playgroups for Winter 2026

Happy New Year everyone :) I know things have been quiet on the page so I just wanted to take a moment to check in....

This week I celebrated being part of the Julia Lacey - Royal LePage Community Realty team for 1 year, it’s hard to believe it’s been a full year since I stepped back into the workforce full time! And it's safe to say so much has changed!

I spent 9 years building this page, LONG creations is part of my story and I’m so proud of what I did through this time. But this past year I settled into my new normal of being a single, full-time working mom and it has shifted my time, energy, and capacity. Because of that, this space hasn’t been as active as it was.

As we head into 2026 I’ve had to accept that I can’t maintain what once was and that’s been a big, but necessary, realization.
Yes I'm still here, but yes it's scaled way back, I plan to still offer:
- Elf boxes
- School year books
- Reusable first/last day boards
- Invites
- custom ticket designs

Mostly I wanted to post to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who’s supported me through every season. Your kindness mean more than you know 🤍

This design is created to show respect, it is therefore FREE for personal use, you are welcome to save, share, and use as your profile picture to show your support!

>>ELF BOX 2025> $65.00

12/10/2025

For anyone that ever wondered....
This is what a pile of 100 Elf "U tubes" looks like!!....
It might be thanksgiving weekend but I'm in full on Christmas mode over here....
With my 3rd annual Elf Box rolling out this week!....
The first 50 on my wait list will get a message regarding ordering, personalized details and payment this week.....
So excited to start getting these out!!..
PS - Yes I am aware there is a small spelling mistake on the instruction sheet ;)
This tired little elf noticed after printing and packaging up all 100 - it is on the instruction sheet and will not be seen by kiddos - full quality control was ran on all things seen by kids and no spelling errors made it there thankfully!

Who remembers when I used to do the community play group schedules?!? I still get messages from people asking for updated versions, and with all my life changes I just have not found the time recently BUT the wonder Julia at Julia Lacey - Royal LePage Community Realty has asked me to start creating it through my work with her!!!...
So I am excited to share the SUMMER SCHEDULE with you!
Lots of FREE things for you and the kiddos to do check it out.....

All of you who are parents (or caregivers) are probably looking for ways to keep the kids busy without breaking the bank!

Some of you may know my assistant Natalie was once upon a time known for creating a playgroup schedule for the Medicine Hat community, I'm excited to be to able to work with her to create this handy list of fun and free things to do with your kiddos till September.

Check out this graphic, save it, share it and let’s make the most of the second half of summer. Love, Julia xoxo
