I’m Emily, and I’m thrilled you’re here. As a fellow working mom, I understand the joy and challenge of balancing a career while raising kids. This blog is for all the amazing moms out there who, like me, strive to create memorable moments and meaningful connections with their kids despite their busy schedules.

As an elementary teacher and a proud working mom, I have a passion for nurturing young minds and creating magical moments with my own children. I know the power of quality time spent with our children- how precious those moments are and how they can truly shape a child’s growth and development. This blog is a creative outlet where I get to combine my two loves – teaching and motherhood – to bring you a treasure trove of kid activities tailored specifically for busy, working moms like yourself.

I believe that learning should be a delightful adventure, and that’s exactly what I want to offer you through this blog. As a working mom, I know how precious your time is, and my aim is to curate activities that are not only enjoyable for your little ones but also easy to incorporate into the time you do have together. Whether you’re looking for creative crafts that spark imagination, educational games that enhance skills, or outdoor escapades that foster exploration, you’ll find a wide array of ideas here.

But Play and Read Together is more than just a collection of activities; it’s a community of like-minded working moms who face similar challenges and share the same joys. I encourage you to join our vibrant community by leaving comments, sharing your experiences, and even suggesting activities that have been a hit with your kids. Together, we can inspire each other in our parenting journey.

Here’s to joyful learning and unforgettable moments!
