Introduction:
Hey there! I'm Melissa, a proud mum of two incredible girls, aged 6 and 3. When the pandemic hit and soft play centers shut down, I found myself searching for ways to keep my little ones entertained and engaged. That's when an idea sparked within me, and Tots Toun Soft Play was born. In this blog post, I want to take you through my journey as a mompreneur, sharing how owning a mobile soft play and bouncy castle hire business has not only brought joy to countless families but also allowed me to find the perfect balance between work and motherhood.
A Lockdown Revelation:
Like many parents, the closure of soft play centers left a void in my daughters live. She missed the laughter, the exploration, and the joy that comes with those vibrant play areas. Determined to bring back that sense of excitement, I decided to create a soft play space in our own home. Little did I know that this decision would change my life in ways I never imagined.
Bringing the Joy Home:
With a sprinkle of creativity and an abundance of determination, I turned my living room into a magical soft play wonderland. This transformation provided endless entertainment for my eldest daughter, Gracie, who was just two years old at the time. It was a lifesaver, as it gave me the opportunity to peacefully bond with and feed my newborn baby, Eilidh, who arrived right at the beginning of lockdown.
Flexibility, the Key to Success:
As a mum, I wanted to be present for all the precious moments of my girls lives. That's why owning Tots Toun Soft Play has been a game changer for me. This business allows me to work on my terms, giving me the flexibility to take care of my girls while still pursuing my passion. Whether it's attending school events, helping with homework, being able to take them to dancing or simply the time to enjoy a trip to the park, I have the freedom to be the mum I want to be.
Creating Memories, One Bounce at a Time:
Tots Toun Soft Play has become more than just a business venture. It's a platform for me to create magical memories for families in our community. Witnessing the joy on children's faces as they explore the set ups and bounce away on the castles fills my heart with immense joy. The laughter, the friendships formed, and the imaginations set free are the true rewards of this journey.
My journey so far with Tots Toun Soft Play has been nothing short of incredible. Starting this soft play and bouncy castle hire business during lockdown has not only brought happiness to countless families but has also given me the perfect balance between work and motherhood. Through creativity, determination, and a lot of love, I have found a way to bring the joy of soft play to children's lives while cherishing every moment with my own girls. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that with a little bit of imagination and a whole lot of passion, we can turn challenging times into remarkable opportunities.
