I'm Arika, the Mommy part of Ava + Mommy. While I love being Mommy, I was a woman, a creative, a friend, a daughter...a real person way before I was ever a mom. Here, I’ll share my thoughts and feelings on how I work in finding harmony with all aspects of myself especially as it pertains to motherhood.

I am a believer that service grows gratitude. I also believe that at the root of humankind is our interconnectedness. If we're honest, we need each other to thrive. What better way to teach our children compassion, service, and community building than exposing them to volunteering at a young age? Join Ava + Mommy for a youth volunteering project with St. Louis Area Diaper Bank THIS Saturday, 12/7 from 12:30p-2:30p.  We’re recruiting kids + their grown-ups to help count, sort and pack diapers for babies and families in need.  We are asking all interested participants to register because space is limited. Â
Please email Arika at info@AvaAndMommy.com for complete details. This opportunity is best suited for kids 7 years-old and up.
