Reno, NV Mom-Owned Business Tour

Mobbin' up Reno!  

Another amazing tour in the books! The Reno leaders Ti and Kayla, took me around the city to see some pretty amazing hot spots.  If you do not know these incredible women yet, you need to!  Ti owns Advanced Health Chiropractic and Kayla owns KC Medical Management. These lovelies are both Reno natives and HUGE powerhouses.  Definitely connect with them if you are in the Reno/Sparks area.  [Ti@themobnation.com Kayla@themobnation.com]

If you follow us The MOB Nevada on Instagram- you may have seen the stories at all of the different stops.   I fell in love with the city and I cannot wait to be back.  

First stop of the day- The Lucky Childe.  This adorable creative play cafe is still in it's soft opening phase.  Once the doors officially open, I have no doubt that this is going to be a Reno Mom Hotspot!  
The cafe is gorgeous and spacious.  SO much intention was put into this space.  You can feel the love right when you walk through the door. 

The staff was excellent, well trained, and amazing with this kids.  When we walked in story time was going on.  Story time, small craft, and healthy food!  Plus delicious coffee for parents and care givers!  What is not to love? 

The owner, Ellen, was a doll.  You can tell she has poured her heard into this venture.  I sincerely hope you all support it, and spread the word. 

The Lucky Childe is great for birthday parties, play dates, vendor events, and more!  We even hope to host MOB Meetups there soon. To stay up to date on their events and their official launch please follow them on Instagram. 

We made our way over to The Nuturing Nest and stumbled upon a little treasure- Pianissimo Coffee and more.  The crew had to go in to check it out, because the window said "CBD Cafe".  
The moment we stepped in the door we were giddy with the adorable decor, sweet-as-pie owner, CBD edible menu, yummy food options, and mimosas!

Kayla was most excited about the selection of gluten free options.  
It was clear this is a neighborhood hang out, everyone that walked in was greeted like family.  This is the perfect place to bring your laptop and get some work done.  They even have a small resource area for small business owners!  
If you have toddlers- they offer toys and books for them to play with at the table.  The toys are sanitized after every use. 

It was hard to leave, we could have stayed there all afternoon enjoying mimosas.  We finally ventured across the parking lot back to The Nurturing Nest.

How incredible is this place?  RENO, you are so lucky to have such a community hub dedicated to parenting, birthing, and families.  WOW. 
The boutique is packed full of every single thing you could possibly want for your baby and toddler.  We all went on a shopping spree!  My haul is pictured below.  
In addition to having a gorgeous boutique, they also offer classes and workshops.  Nurturing Nest is also the home to Bright Heart Birth Services.  Bright Heart offers Doula support, placenta encapsulation services, and birthing education. 
These women are dedicated to this community and have such heart for the mamas.  They are for sure a must visit and must support.  Keep them in mind next time you need a baby shower gift!  Follow them on Instagram to keep up to date with all they offer:

Simple Ice Cream Sandwiches and Visionary. 
OMG! My dream spaces.  I cannot believe someone took my day dreams and turned them into these awesome spaces.  They are even connected, so you can spend all day there having the time of your life. 

Simple Ice Cream Sandwiches offers build your own DONUT ice cream sandwiches.  Are you serious? ​
Visionary is a vision board workshop bar- offering "Drink and Dream workshops".  I cannot even handle how rad this place is.  Vision Boards are my obsession and I teach workshops so I was in LOVE.  I am hoping to hold a workshop here very soon! 

The detail in these shops are second to none.  Every inch of the spaces are filled with cool art, random decor, and collectibles.  Even the bathroom is cool. 

Junkee

I went to Junkee the first time I was in Reno.  Unfortunately, I was only in Reno for 18 hours for The first MOB event and was unable to spend much time shopping. 

 When I returned this trip the only thing I had on my Reno bucket list was Junkee.  I dedicated two hours to just shopping in this space and enjoying all of the ridiculously-rad elements that make this store my FAVORITE ever.  

I had no idea it was Mom-Owned the first time, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out.  The owner, Jessica, is now my forever #MOBCRUSH .  I will probably end up writing an entire blog dedicated to her for #MOBCRUSHMONDAY .
​
If you are into thrifting, junking, antiquing, this is a MUST visit.  It is worth a trip to Reno JUST to go here.  Seriously, out-of-towners, make your next vacation to Reno.  Stay at Circus Circus and visit this shop!  It is right next to Visionary and Simple Ice Cream Sandwiches too. BECAUSE IT IS OWNED BY THE SAME POWERHOUSE WOMAN!  Gahhh!!! 

I got this amazing yellow skirt- which I wore to the MOB Meetup!  

The Meetup was held at the last stop of the MOB Reno tour Final Draught .

This bottleshop, and taproom has faced its fair share of adversity while trying to open.  They have gone through so much and still have stayed persistent and optimistic.  I love their drive! 

Our group had a wonderful time, everyone said they would definitely be back.  They went up and beyond for us.  You gotta love a space with kind owners!

Follow them on Instagram, to watch for news of their official opening. Final Draught will be offering deliciously crafted sandwiches, draft beer, bottles to go, and growler fills.  The space is HUGE so it is perfect for corporate events, parties, birthday dinners, and meetings.  The atmosphere is still intimate enough for ladies night out or date night.  

Thanks for the fun time RENO! I will be back in a couple of months!   I will also be headed to Bakersfield, San Diego, Honolulu, Palm Springs and Dallas soon.  
If you have a business you would like me to tour, please DM me on Instagram.
