Our Back-To-School Bash with Crate & Kids in Chicago was an absolute blast (to say the very least). Hundreds of moms, dads, and kids came out to pick out their brand-new backpacks by Crate & Kids, and fill them up with a variety of goodies at our exclusive Backpack Bar experience. This included a bevy of snacks and school supplies by LunchBots, Stasher, Hiya, Candlewick Press, Sunnie, Lesser Evil, BaubleBar, Yoobi, Tubby Todd, Happy Wolf, Soley, Surebonder, New Primal, GoodPop, and Evergreen. Our friends at Hearth were there to lead the way, setting up their beloved Hearth Display and helping kids check-off all of the items on their BTS list.

In addition to our Backpack Bar and shopping Crate & Kids’ adorable back-to-school collection (backpacks, water bottles, lunchboxes, pencil cases, and more!), guests enjoyed an iced coffee bar by Jot x MALK, a stunning grazing board by Chicago’s own Broken Tart, filled with Sunnie grain-free crackers, cheese, and other delights, personality portraits by Ajah Lexi, and DIY backpack-charm making with BaubleBar. Take us back!

Igniting all 5 senses was the goal for the launch party of Heirloom Cities: Mumbai, a book that serves as a visual and written journey through the city’s kitchens, streets, and history. A beautiful medley of storytelling, recipes, and lush photography from Mumbai, the book (the first in a series of three) was created by Sri Bodanapu under her indie publishing house, Heirloom.

Held at the stunning Four One Nine rooftop space in San Francisco, the party invited guests to indulge in a delicious chaat bar and other foods by Jalsa, sip on Mumbai-inspired cocktails by Hanson of Sonoma, create wearable florals with Natalie Brookshire, make traditional block print textiles, and so much more.

Being a parent means saying “no” a lot. In fact, a recent study of 200 parents found that 94% of them say “no” daily—with more than half (53%) saying it 5+ times a day. What’s more, the poll found that 60% of parents find themselves saying “no” even more once school’s out for summer.

But what if we consciously tried saying “yes” a little bit more? (Even if just for a day?) Enter our joyful “Summer of YES” event with our friends at GoodPop, makers of better-for-you frozen treats that parents can most definitely say YES to.

We kicked off our “Summer of YES” with a trip to Austin (GoodPop‘s hometown) to gather with an inspiring group of moms, dads, and kids for a full roster of activities at the colorful Create! art studio + play space.

Upon entry, each child received a passport filled with a variety of fun happenings that parents could feel good about stamping “YES” next to. This includes enjoying GoodPop popsicles for breakfast and coffee (for kids!) by Kiid Coffee, using your body as a canvas (thanks to OOLY, Welly, and Super Smalls), painting on the walls (via our “YES” mural), making a silly face in our “pop personality” portrait booth, noshing on waffles by Evergreen and crackers and s’mores by Sunnie, playing freely, and so much more!

To celebrate Mother’s Day in the dreamiest way, we partnered with Stanly Ranch Residences for the most unforgettable retreat. Over 20 lucky mamas traveled out to Stanly Ranch—an Auberge Resort and an unparalleled destination in Napa Valley just 45 minutes from San Francisco and sitting on more than 700 acres of rolling vineyards, with stunning views of the Mayacamas Mountains.

Stanly Ranch is more than a resort. It’s a community offering a rare opportunity for ownership, with beautiful Vineyard Homes and Villas that maintain the design excellence and luxury services expected from the Auberge brand.

With an awe-inspiring Napa backdrop, we curated a day-long experience for our guests, which included a soundbath and meditation, bike rides through the vast property, floral arranging, journaling, a live conversation on motherhood + entrepreneurship, cocktails, caviar, massages, shopping, delicious meals, and much more!

Much of our gathering was at one of the Stanly Ranch Residences gorgeous Vineyard Homes—which seamlessly connect residents to Napa’s nature with expansive indoor-outdoor living areas. The 5,900 to 7,700 square-foot residences feature natural materials inspired by the surrounding landscape—all designed for year-round, multi-generational enjoyment.

Meanwhile, the Stanly Ranch resort is an extension of each residence, offering the ultimate five-star experience alongside modern ranch living. Owners have full access to Halehouse, an unmatched wellness-forward spa; and they enjoy dining with seasonal menus and fresh produce from the onsite farm, including world-class cuisine at Bear restaurant.

It was such a treat to indulge in the Stanly Ranch Residences experience alongside other inspiring mothers.

We kicked off Mother’s Day month in the dreamiest of ways, thanks to a MOTHER x SFMOMA brunch to celebrate motherhood, creativity, and the ultimate artist-matriarch, Ruth Asawa. We invited 40 inspiring local women from the San Francisco Bay Area to enjoy a delicious lunch at SFMOMA’s Cafe 5, followed by a tour of the brand-new exhibition Ruth Asawa: Retrospective, led by curator Marin Sarvé-Tarr.

Every detail of our event was intentional, heartfelt, and inspired by the powerful legacy of Ruth Asawa—a prolific artist, mother of 6, and public arts advocate who changed the way art is taught in local schools. Our stunning floral arrangements featured blooms seen in Ruth’s botanical drawings, our 3-course menu was infused with Japanese flavors, and our guests found their tables through visual cues and reflection questions that were linked to the exhibition.

After walking through the sprawling 12-gallery show and hearing how the exhibition came to be (after several years of plotting by SFMOMA), our guests walked away filled with inspiration and a gift bag curated with goodies from Chronicle Books (the incredible Everything She Touched biography of Ruth Asawa), artful play things for the family (from Mudpuppy, Brass Monkey, Galison, and the SFMOMA Museum Store), and the cherry-on-top: a gorgeous bud vase inspired by the retrospective, encasing a succulent that was hand-harvested from Ruth Asawa’s Noe Valley garden by her grandson. Talk about legacy!

The year 2024 was a monumental one for MOTHER, as it marked our huge 10-year milestone.

We gathered with over 100 of our die-hard supporters at the mama-owned and operated Chandran Gallery for an unforgettable “Art Breakfast”-themed event.

We enjoyed delicious coffee and tea by Lady Falcon Coffee Club, a parfait bar by Three Wishes, bagels by Daily Driver, wine by Flowers, and birthday cake and custom MOTHER cupcakes by Sprinkles, while enjoying the “Cocoon” exhibition by Rebecca Louise Law. The interactive art show included dried flowers cascading down from the ceiling, and enveloping guests in a stunning womb-like orb. It was the perfect way to celebrate a very special MOTHER’s Day together.

Additional dazzle was added via our event florals by Natalie Brookshire, tabletop wares by Minted, take-home frames by Zenni, on-the-go meals by Thistle, body care by Summer Solace, MOTHER hats by Brycie Prints, and beautiful women in art postcards by Rachel Ignotofsky.
