A space for moms to pause and recharge

In the busy rhythm of motherhood, moments of rest and self-care can be hard to come by. That’s exactly why Lattes & Littles is creating something truly special for local moms this spring. Their upcoming event, “The Motherhood Moment,” is more than just a gathering it’s a thoughtfully curated experience designed to celebrate, refresh and uplift mothers in a meaningful way.

Taking place on Sunday, April 26 from 9am-1pm, this intimate event invites moms to step away from their daily responsibilities and enjoy a morning focused entirely on them. With limited spots available, the experience is designed to feel personal and relaxing.

A thoughtfully curated pampering experience

At the heart of “The Motherhood Moment” is a 90-minute session that blends beauty, connection and lasting memories. Each participating mom will receive professional hair styling by The Parlor Beauty, along with makeup services provided by Burke & Beauty and Mary Kay with Melina. Moms will also take part in an intimate mini photo session with Meghan Lumm Photography, capturing this unique season of motherhood in a beautiful and timeless way. 

A stress-free experience for moms and littles

One of the most thoughtful aspects of the event is how it accommodates little ones. While moms are being pampered, children are welcome to enjoy supervised playtime within the Lattes & Littles space. This allows moms to fully relax, knowing their kids are nearby and having fun in a safe, engaging environment. (An additional adult is required to assist with supervision during each session).

To make the experience even more special, each mom will receive a curated goodie bag and a freshly prepared coffee to enjoy during her visit.

Celebrating motherhood in a meaningful way

The event is perfectly timed to honor the spirit of Mother’s Day, offering a meaningful way for moms to celebrate themselves or for loved ones to gift them a well-deserved break. At a flat rate of $275 per mom, with children attending free of charge, “The Motherhood Moment” provides a unique combination of pampering, photography and family-friendly convenience.

“Our goal is to give moms a moment to feel seen, appreciated and refreshed while also capturing beautiful photos they can treasure forever,” said Taylor, the event organizer. “Motherhood is such a special season, and we wanted to create something that truly honors that.”

An experience worth remembering

Above all, the mission behind this event is simple yet powerful: to give moms a chance to feel seen, valued and celebrated. In a world where they are constantly giving to others, this is a rare opportunity for mothers to receive something in return a moment that’s entirely their own.

With limited availability and high interest, early booking is encouraged.

A community event focused on health and access

Community members across Toledo are invited to attend El Centro’s 2nd Annual Community Health Fair, a free event focused on improving access to healthcare resources and promoting overall wellness. The event will take place on Tuesday, April 21, from 10am-3pm at the Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center (1225 Broadway St.).

Held during Minority Health Month, the fair is designed to bring together healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations and community partners to help residents learn more about their health and the services available to them in the Toledo area.

Health screenings and preventive care

One of the highlights of the event will be health screenings offered by local healthcare professionals. These screenings provide an opportunity for individuals to learn more about their health and identify potential concerns early. Preventive care and early detection are key steps toward maintaining long-term health.

Health professionals and community organizations will also provide information on important topics such as blood pressure management, diabetes awareness, nutrition, mental health and overall wellness. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions, receive guidance and gain a better understanding of how to maintain healthy lifestyles.

Community resources and local organizations

The health fair will feature resource tables from a variety of local organizations dedicated to supporting the well-being of Toledo residents. These organizations will share information about programs and services related to healthcare access, family support, social services and wellness initiatives.

Community partners will be available to connect attendees with programs that can assist with health coverage, preventive care, and other services that support healthier communities. The goal is to make it easier for individuals and families to learn about resources that may benefit them.

Giveaways and educational materials

In addition to screenings and information booths, attendees can also expect giveaways and educational materials throughout the event. These items are intended to help community members continue practicing healthy habits after the event ends. Health-related resources, wellness tools and informational brochures will be available while supplies last.

Supporting health equity during minority health month

By hosting the health fair during Minority Health Month, organizers hope to raise awareness about health disparities and the importance of equitable access to healthcare. Events like this help bring services directly into the community, making it easier for residents to access information and support in a welcoming environment.

The event is open to the public, and individuals and families are encouraged to stop by at any time during the day. 

Opportunities for community partners

Organizations interested in participating in the event by hosting a table or providing resources are encouraged to get involved. Community groups, healthcare providers and nonprofits that want to share services with attendees can reach out to event organizer Belinda C.

According to a press relasese, “First Unitarian Church, a Unitarian Universalist congregation, is strongly committed to equity, justice, and dismantling systems of oppression. We view opposing injustice in all its forms as a sacred duty. One way we do that is to teach children to recognize and confront racist assumptions and beliefs.”
