💛 WELL… LOOK WHO’S BACK IN THE OFFICE! 😂
Hi friends! It’s me, Darby — back at Happy Playce and attempting to return to something resembling a normal schedule. 😂
I’m SO sorry the hours got a little… creative last week. 🙃 Between being out of town, appointments, and life throwing a few curveballs my way, it was definitely one of those weeks where I found myself saying, “Well, THIS wasn’t on the schedule…” 😂
The good news is that things should be back to normal for at least another couple of weeks… HAHAHA, famous last words. 🤣
But seriously, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who was so patient and understanding last week. The grace y’all extended during the chaos means more to me than you probably realize. ❤️
Just a little reminder that Happy Playce is (mostly) a one-woman operation. 🙋♀️
Which means when I can’t be there, I have to call in the reinforcements — aka my wonderful friends and volunteers who are kind enough to come save the day. 😂❤️
So if you see that we’re closed, please know that it’s out of necessity, not because I decided I’d rather sit at home eating snacks. 😉😂
Sometimes I’m out of town. Sometimes I’m sick. Sometimes I have appointments. Sometimes life just says, “Sorry, ma’am. You’re not running the show today.” 😂
I promise we do our very best to keep y’all updated AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE when things change. We’ll update Facebook whenever we can and, if possible, put a note on the door so nobody makes the trip for nothing.
And speaking of reinforcements… 👀
If you’re someone who has thought, “I’d love to help Happy Playce, but I also really like getting things in return,” — I SEE YOU. 😂
I’m always looking to add more awesome people to my volunteer list who would be willing to help cover the play place when I can’t be there in exchange for admissions or punch cards.
If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, just send me a message or stop in during regular business hours and let me know!
I’m incredibly lucky to have friends, volunteers, and a community who are willing to help me keep this little place going. And I genuinely could not do it without y’all.
So thank you for supporting my crazy little dream, for being patient when things don’t always go according to plan, and for continuing to show up for Happy Playce. 🥹💛
It means more than I can put into words. ❤️
Now… back to business. Come let your kids run wild so you can drink your coffee while it’s still hot. 😂☕️
Open today 9-5
Tomorrow 9-5
Friday 9-7
and Saturday 9-3 🩵💛

Owner, Happy Playce 💛
