-New Mom Meetups by Mothership Launchpad provides a space for new moms to come as they are & meet other new moms in the same stage of motherhood. Mothership Launchpad also hosts family events throughout Lakeview & Lincoln Park in Chicago for the entire family. As a young mother who struggled with postpartum depression it was so difficult for me to get out the door with my baby. I strive to help other new moms get out of the house and have a judgement free place to go with their baby (and possible enjoy a HOT coffee). @mothershiplaunchpad on Instagram
-HelloBaby is the nation's first (and only) free standing, free of charge drop in play space for babies, toddlers and their caregivers. Fabulous resource for the families of Chicago! HelloBaby website for more information on family programming.
-The Second Child is a second hand store on Armitage Avenue contributing to the conservation of the plant while saving families money. We bought our crib used from The Second Child for our baby’s arrival in 2016 and it still has a place in our home as a cherished family heirloom. Customers will find children’s gently used clothing, shoes, furniture and toys in the heart of Lincoln Park. Shop online and in store!

Family Travel Series
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I’m lifting our online community up with my knowledge of family travel. We travel our young family by plane, train & automobile & have so many tips & tricks that made those adventures on the road easier & more pleasurable for me as “mom” and as a family to enjoy. Being prepared 4 steps ahead made my life so much easier with a little baby & now going into a season of traveling with a seven and a half year old I go back to that old adage- preparation is everything. First stop, SCOTLAND! Follow me on Instagram for all the fun travel adventures and tips every Thursday with @mothershiplaunchpad.
Save the Date: April 27th at 10am for some fun in the sun at Parson’s Chicken and Fish- Lincoln Park, 2435 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day and I’m sending you so much love today- and everyday!
-Michelle, Mothership Launchpad

Closing out the holiday season Mothership is so grateful for our loyal customers that have sent words of encouragement, attended outdoor classes all summer/fall & helped us move out of our storefront. 2020 was a year of stretching & evolving as a business, going with the flow learning to pivot with every new restriction & regulation put into place all while inevitably having to close our storefront because we could no longer run the same business we originally opened.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Mothership has accomplished a lot of good helping moms all across Chicago to be better moms.
-Created a welcoming space for mom, dads & caretakers to enjoy time with their little one & meet friends.
-Hosted events supporting the local arts community
-Supplied new moms with furniture & supplies for new babies.
-Furnished an apartment for a family of 3 effected by a fire in September.
Mothership Launchpad was opened to bring moms belly to belly, introduce them to each other and create bonds between moms experiencing the same stage of motherhood. Our mission is simple and we are going back to the basics. Mothership is hosting more mobile New Mom Meetups to help benefit Chicago moms in 2024 to make creating long lasting impact in the lives of new mothers in Chicago communities.
