*START HERE—Welcome to the Melylu Sensory Play Blog

Hi! My name is Manuela and I am the founder and owner of Melylu Sensory Play. Thanks for taking the time to check out our blog—I'm so happy you're here! Join me as I share my journey as a mompreneur and attempt to balance the chaos of motherhood, while also running a small business dedicated to enriching children's lives through engaging sensory play experiences (with a LOT of coffee). 

From humorous anecdotes and parenting insights to drawing from my background in education and discussing research-based information, this blog offers a firsthand look at the joys and challenges of nurturing creativity, curiosity, and cognitive growth through play. Not to mention discussing many behind-the-scene glimpses and bloopers of a small mama-owned business!

Come have some "Ah-ha" moments, a laugh, or maybe even a cry. Either way, I'm just a mom attempting to do it all and documenting my journey along the way…I think maybe sharing it all is my own form of chaos therapy.

So, grab a cup of hot coffee (or two, or three...) and let's jump in!

Happy Playing, and Learning! 🤓

PS...do you have some insight, questions, or relatable stories? I would LOVE to hear from you, so feel free to leave a comment on this post or reach out to me anytime. Even if it's just a quick hello, let's chat! 🫶🏼
