Big thanks to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art for hosting the Fort Worth Moms Blog and, oh you know, 160 of our closest friends for the Mom & Me Discover Date. It truly was a heap of fun — and our largest playdate to date.
Attendees enjoyed multiple story times throughout the morning in various locations all over the museum. Each story somehow correlated with a painting on display. The kiddos also had the opportunity to create their own masterpieces focused on the use of color and illusion.
Swag bags for the kiddos included prizes from:
- Amon Carter Museum of American Art
- Austin’s Underdawgs
- Arborlawn Children’s Academy
- Beautycounter
- Educare Therapy
- Gypsy Scoops
- itWorks
- Legacy Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry
- LuLaRoe
- River Legacy Living Science Center
- T M Bar Camps
- Zoe’s Kitchen
The moms scored giveaways, featuring prizes from:
- Amon Carter Museum of American Art
- Beautycounter
- DryBar
- Fresh Wave
- ItWorks
- Little E Photography
- LuLaRoe
- Matilda Jane
- NRH2O
- The Lash Hurrah
- The Pretty Kitty
- Urban Air Trampoline Park
After the event, Austin’s Underdawgs and Gypsy Scoops were on site to provide a picnic opportunity for attendees. Despite the wind, it was DELICIOUS. (Hint: Both of these Fort Worth food trucks are available for rent. Let them handle the food at your next party!)
If you missed the Mom & Me Discovery Date, don’t fret; more play dates are on the horizon. Check out our regional and topical Neighbor Groups, who schedule regular playdates and meetups.

The next event for the Fort Worth Moms Blog focuses on the mamas this time. Bloom :: An Event for New & Expecting Moms happens May 20 at Cook Children’s and provides an afternoon of pampering, treats, swag bags, giveaways, panel discussions, and a workshop or two to provide you with resources for parenting kids ages 0-2. Hope to see you there! (Psst, there is only a limited number of swag bag tickets; so get yours before they are GONE!)
