The paint had barely dried inside the brand-new Emler Swim School location as they welcomed Kansas City Moms Blog for our 5th Birthday Party!

Our guests were some of the first to dip their toes in their pool located in Westwood. From gardening and sensory creations with our friends of Purpose Play to bubbles and sidewalk chalk with Little Sunshine’s Playhouse transforming our children into their favorite super heroes with our Title Sponsor Overland Park Regional Medical Center and meeting the most elite martial arts instructors of The KoMA tribe there was family fun for all!

We fed our bellies with cookies and cream and chocolate milk with ice cream “sammich” sampling complements of Shatto Milk Company and Home 

Delivery (use promo code KCMOM for orders)  and freshly spun pink lemonade and pina colada flavored cotton candy from Cottontale KC!

We even sharped our awareness for the importance of sun protection with the beautiful baby and children’s line of products from Banz World to include swim diapers and suits, sunglasses, hats and swim goggles.

A few lucky guests walked away with birthday parties to CoCo Key Resort and Sky Zone, a bounce house rental from Fun Services, a catering package from Zaxby’s and passes to Lego Land/Sea Life.

On behalf of our entire team here at KCMB, it was incredible to see so much love come from so many Kansas City Resources to help us celebrate this very special occasion. FIVE years in traditional celebration represents strength as well as wisdom symbolizing a deeper understanding and acceptance…much like motherhood.

You have walked along side with us for FIVE years. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and our lives have changed in ways we could have never imagined all for a love unlike any we’ve ever known. Cheers to Five Years and Many More Together!

Our birthday wish is to continue to cherish our connection to one another, creating a safe and sacred space for you and to grow our community in Kansas
