Happiest birthday to Debbie! She doesn't like anyone to know but today is her birthday!!!

We know we're a little late to the game but what can we say? we've been busy! But we couldn’t let this trend pass without introducing some of the people who keep HelloBaby running. Here are some of our people as the little people who would have come to HelloBaby if it had been around.

It’s officially Fairy Garden season at HelloBaby! ✨🌿

We’re putting the finishing touches on our tiny creations and getting ready for our big launch party on June 13!

Last week, we were thrilled to welcome the White Sox players’ wives and girlfriends for a special evening of fairy house painting. It was such a fun opportunity to share more about HelloBaby’s mission while getting their creative help bringing this year’s fairy garden to life. We can’t wait to share it with you all!

Our theme this year is Baseball!

A fresh week of fun at HelloBaby! 💛✨

Join us for a week full of play, movement, music, stories, and connection—all completely free for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers.

Come make new friends, explore, learn, and play with us!

What a night. 💛✨

HelloSpring was everything we hoped for and more! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised over $60,000 to support HelloBaby’s free play, enrichment, and connection for Chicago families.

More than the dollars raised, the evening was a beautiful reminder of what makes this community so special—seeing longtime supporters, meeting new friends, sharing our mission, and celebrating the joy and possibility that every child deserves.

To everyone who attended, donated, bid, volunteered, sponsored, and helped bring this colorful night to life: thank you. Your support helps us continue creating spaces where little brains can grow, caregivers can connect, and play can thrive.

We’re still smiling (and maybe still recovering 😅). Thank you for making HelloSpring so special. 🌈
