Join Us for a Virtual Guided Journaling Experience for Autism & Special Needs Mamas 💗

Somewhere between caring for everyone else, advocating for our children, managing appointments, and navigating the everyday responsibilities of motherhood, we sometimes forget to make room for ourselves.

Between the Lines is a guided journaling experience created by Monochromatic Mommies to give mamas a space to slow down, reflect, reconnect, and simply be.

Each gathering offers a different reflection topic, thoughtful journaling prompts, soft music, and opportunities for meaningful conversation. Together, we'll explore the many layers of motherhood, personal growth, identity, emotional well-being, and everything in between.

This isn't about having the perfect words or knowing exactly what to write. It's about giving yourself permission to pause, put pen to paper, and discover what comes up between the lines.

Your space. Your pace. Your story.

Cameras are optional. Sharing is optional. You're welcome to journal, listen, reflect, or simply enjoy an hour surrounded by other mamas who understand.

Come as you are! Bring your favorite journal, a pen, and whatever helps you feel comfortable.

We can't wait to share this space with you, mama! 💗

Each session features a new reflection topic. Specific themes and session details will be shared separately.

Register for Between the Lines 💗

We're so glad you're joining us!

When you’re caring for a child with different abilites and needs, so much attention naturally goes toward your child’s needs—but who is caring for the caregiver?

Join Monochromatic Mommies for an October Community Conversation with Deshombre Samuels, Founder of The Neuromargin Project and owner of The Virtual Experience, for a conversation centered on caregiver well-being, support, and the realities of raising an autistic child while trying not to lose yourself in the process.

Drawing from her professional experience, entrepreneurship, and lived experience as an Autism Mom, Deshombre will help us explore why caregiver well-being deserves intentional attention—not just when we reach burnout, but as an essential part of supporting the entire family.

This conversation will create space to talk honestly about the needs caregivers carry, the importance of community and practical support, and what it can look like to make room for your own well-being while continuing to care deeply for your child.

This is a space to learn, connect, reflect, and be reminded that your well-being matters, too.

All About Deshombre

Deshombre Samuels is the Founder of The Neuromargin Project and owner of The Virtual Experience. Her work is rooted in professional experience, entrepreneurship, and her lived experience as an Autism Mom.

Through her own journey, Deshombre recognized how often caregivers’ needs become secondary while families focus on supporting their autistic children. That realization became the foundation for The Neuromargin Project, a South Carolina nonprofit focused specifically on caregivers of autistic children.

Her vision is a future where every caregiver of an autistic child has access to the support, resources, and community needed to sustain their own well-being. Through both The Virtual Experience and The Neuromargin Project, she is committed to turning identified needs into meaningful resources, opportunities, and experiences that make a difference.

FREE ADMISSION • ALL AGES & ABILITIES WELCOME | Limited space • Registration required

Come create, play & connect with us!

Join Monochromatic Mommies for Autumn Adventures: Family Fun Night, a relaxed evening of purposeful play, creativity, and family connection.

This free community event is designed with children with developmental delays, disabilities, autism, and special needs in mind, while welcoming children of all ages and abilities, including siblings.

Autumn Adventures is part of Monochromatic Mommies' Early Access Support Program, which helps families connect with developmental resources, early supports, practical information, and opportunities to build community.

What to Expect

Families will enjoy two simple, hands-on fall activity stations:

🍂 Build-a-Scarecrow
Children can build and decorate their own paper scarecrow using different shapes, colors, and materials.

🎃 Pumpkin Patch Creations
Create a one-of-a-kind paper pumpkin using colors, silly faces, patterns, and plenty of imagination.

Our activities are intentionally simple so children can participate at their own pace and in their own way. There is no expectation to complete every activity or participate in a particular way.

More Than a Craft Night

Play can create opportunities to practice important developmental skills—and it doesn't have to be complicated or expensive!

Throughout the evening, our purposeful play activities will naturally encourage skills such as fine-motor development, hand-eye coordination, making choices, following directions, communication, creativity, and social interaction.

Children can create alongside other children, practice sharing space and materials, observe their peers, or simply enjoy being part of the environment in whatever way feels comfortable for them.

And while the kids create, parents and caregivers get to connect, too!

Meet other local families, enjoy time together outside of appointments and services, and learn more about resources and support available through Monochromatic Mommies.

Who Can Attend?

Everyone!

This event was intentionally created with families raising children with developmental delays, disabilities, autism, special needs, or children receiving or exploring Early Intervention services in mind.

However, a diagnosis is not required to attend. There are no age restrictions, and siblings are welcome.

Whether your family is already connected to services, wondering whether your child may benefit from additional developmental support, or simply looking for an inclusive place to spend time together, you're welcome to join us!

Create • Play • Connect • Grow

Admission is FREE, but space is limited so that we can provide a comfortable experience and prepare enough activity materials for participating families.

Registration is required. Please complete one registration per family and include everyone who will be attending.

Autumn Adventures is an Early Access Support Program experience presented by Monochromatic Mommies.

Faith. Wellness. Everyday Life.

Every Thursday | 7:00–7:45 PM ET | Virtual

Join our community partner, Her Promise Circle Foundation, for Wellness Through the Word, a weekly gathering that brings faith and wellness together through Scripture, meaningful conversation, and practical application.

Women carry a lot. Between family, relationships, work, personal responsibilities, and the many transitions of life, making room for our own well-being can sometimes feel like another responsibility.

Wellness Through the Word creates an intentional space to explore what it means to care for the whole woman—mind, body, and spirit—with faith at the center.

What to Expect:

• Scripture-based teachings connected to real-life experiences.

• Honest conversations about wellness, faith, and personal growth.

• Practical insights and encouragement you can apply beyond each gathering.

• Opportunities to pause, reflect, connect, and grow alongside other women.

Each week offers an opportunity to explore a different aspect of wellness and discover how God's Word can guide us through the things we're navigating.

Whether you're beginning your wellness journey or simply looking for a consistent space to reconnect with your faith and yourself, you're welcome here.

Your wellness matters. Your faith matters. And you deserve space to nurture both.

Wellness Through the Word is hosted by Her Promise Circle Foundation.

Monday, October 5, 2026 | Virtual | 5PM ET & 3PM MT

Whether you're navigating a challenging season, seeking clarity, carrying something heavy, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship with God, this gathering offers an opportunity to step away from everyday demands and make room for prayer.

Come as you are, with whatever is on your heart. You don't have to have the right words or all the answers to make space for God.

Take a moment for yourself. Come expecting connection, encouragement, and an opportunity to pour into your spiritual wellness.

This event is hosted by Her Promise Circle Foundation.

Within our Monochromatic Mommies community, many mothers have shared a common experience—grief.

It's the grief that isn't always recognized.

It's grieving the expectations we once held. The milestones that unfolded differently. Friendships that changed. The routines we had to leave behind. The career paths we paused. The relationships that shifted. Even the parts of ourselves we feel we've lost while learning to navigate motherhood and the special needs journey.

This kind of grief is real.

During our September Moments for Mamas gathering, licensed clinical social worker Nic Burnette, MSW, LISW-CP, founder of Destination Fortified Counseling & Wellness, will guide us through an honest and compassionate conversation about living grief. Together, we'll explore how grief can exist alongside gratitude, hope, fierce love, and resilience—and how acknowledging these emotions is an important part of healing.

Whether you've struggled to put words to what you're feeling or simply long for a space where you don't have to explain yourself, this conversation is for you.

Together we'll explore:

• Understanding grief beyond death and traditional loss

• Processing changing expectations and life transitions

• Navigating identity shifts in motherhood and caregiving

• Making space for difficult emotions without shame or guilt

• Practical tools for resilience, healing, and self-compassion

What is one part of yourself you've been missing lately, and what might it look like to make a little room for her again?

Join Monochromatic Mommies for our first Between the Lines gathering! We are beyond excited to share a quiet journal space for autism and special needs mamas.

Sometimes, somewhere between caring for everyone else, advocating, managing the appointments, and simply making it through the day, we can lose touch with ourselves.

For our very first Between the Lines, we're slowing down and creating space to reconnect with the woman behind the responsibilities.

We'll spend time journaling, reflecting, listening to soft music, and sharing together (if you feel led) without the pressure of having the "right" thing to say.

Our first reflection will center around a simple question:

What is one part of yourself you've been missing lately, and what might it look like to make a little room for her again?

If you need a little help getting started, we'll have a few additional prompts to guide your reflection, including thoughts around old joys, forgotten aspirations, and the small ways we can begin showing up for ourselves again.

Cameras are optional. Sharing is optional. You are welcome to journal, listen, reflect, or simply spend an hour quietly surrounded by other mamas.

Come as you are! Bring your journal, your favorite pen, and whatever you need to feel comfortable. See you soon mama!

This month, Monochromatic Mommies is honored to welcome Kristina Robinson, Certified Nutrition Coach and founder of Nina's Healthy Living & Wellness, as our featured guest for Moments for Mamas.

Coffee, Connection & Community for Autism and Special Needs Moms in Greenville, SC and surrounding areas!

Monochromatic Mommies invites autism and special needs mothers throughout the Upstate South Carolina area to join us at Exchange Coffee Co. for a special afternoon designed just for you!

Being a caregiver often means pouring into everyone else first. Pour Into Mamas creates space for mothers to pause, connect, and be cared for alongside women who truly understand the unique joys and challenges of raising children with special needs.

Guests will enjoy complimentary coffee and pastries while building authentic connections with other moms in the community.

We are grateful to our event sponsor, EEG to GO, for partnering with us to support local families. As caregivers, we often spend so much time advocating for our loved ones that we forget to care for ourselves.

During this event, EEG to GO will present on caregiver brain health, exploring how chronic stress, mental fatigue, sleep challenges, and the mental load of caregiving can impact overall well-being. Attendees will gain valuable insight into supporting their own neurological and emotional health while continuing to care for those they love. EEG to GO will also share information about their commitment to providing accessible, patient-centered EEG testing in a comfortable and convenient setting.

Following the presentation, moms will have the opportunity to mingle, relax, share experiences, and enjoy an afternoon centered around support, encouragement, and community.

*Please Note: To help create an intimate and meaningful experience, attendance is limited to the first 20 mamas who register. Confirmation emails will be sent within 48 hours of registration to secure your spot.

If registration reaches capacity, don't worry—we'll maintain a waitlist and reach out if a space becomes available.

Caring for ourselves isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.

As mothers and caregivers of children with autism and special needs, we spend so much of our time focused on our children that we rarely stop to think about ourselves.

We become advocates, researchers, schedulers, therapists, and caregivers. We attend appointments, coordinate services, manage therapies, navigate school systems, and search tirelessly for answers. While supporting our children, many of us are also carrying the weight of stress, exhaustion, anxiety, and uncertainty.

But who is supporting the caregiver?

Join Monochromatic Mommies and EEG to GO for an important conversation about caregiver brain health, stress, resilience, and wellness. This webinar is designed to help caregivers better understand how chronic stress impacts the brain and why caring for ourselves is not a luxury—it's a necessity.

During this session, we'll explore:

• The impact of long-term caregiving stress on brain health
• Why caregiver wellness matters for the entire family
• The connection between stress, sleep, emotional regulation, and resilience
• Emerging tools and resources that may help families better understand brain health
• Practical strategies for supporting your own well-being while caring for your child

Our guest speaker, Burt Reynolds from EEG to GO, has spent years helping families gain a deeper understanding of brain health and the role technology can play in identifying challenges and supporting wellness. Most importantly, he understands that behind every child is a caregiver doing their very best.

This webinar is more than an educational presentation—it is an opportunity to connect with other caregivers who understand the unique journey of raising children with autism and special needs.

Our hope is that you leave feeling informed, encouraged, supported, and reminded that your health matters, too. Because when we care for the caregiver, we strengthen the entire family.

Registration is required. The virtual meeting link will be provided upon completion of registration.

Join us for an evening of connection, conversation, and community. Community Hour is where the MM village gathers — creating space for mothers, families, advocates, and supporters to come together authentically.

A monthly virtual gathering to connect, learn, share resources, and build meaningful community for special needs families and those who support them.

Community Hour is Monochromatic Mommies' open virtual space — a place where anyone who cares about special needs families is welcome to pull up a chair.

Whether you're a mama looking for support, a community member who wants to learn more about our work, or a potential partner exploring how we might collaborate, this is where we begin.

Each month, we open our doors to share who we are, what we do, and how together we can pour into the families who need it most.

Some of the most powerful conversations don't need words — they need hands.

Hands That Speak is a gentle, supportive introduction to American Sign Language (ASL) designed for real life at home and with your family.

During this virtual session, we focus on simple, meaningful ways to begin incorporating ASL into your daily routines. Whether you're looking to support your child's communication, reduce frustration, or simply discover a new way to connect — this space is for you.

During these sessions, we explore:

• The ASL alphabet (ABCs)

• How to spell names and familiar words

• Simple, everyday signs you can begin using right away

• Practical ways to incorporate ASL into your home environment

No prior experience needed. This is a relaxed, judgment-free space created with families in mind.

You may have questions. Our village may have answers.

Private Google Meet will be sent to registered email on Sunday, April 26th

Ask the Village is a private virtual call for the Monochromatic Mommies community — a space where mamas show up, ask the real questions, and lean on each other for answers rooted in lived experience.

Bring whatever's on your heart: caregiving challenges, daily life questions, navigating systems, or just needing to know someone else has been there too. Mamas in the room will respond in real time — in conversation and in the chat — with encouragement, advice, and the kind of honesty only another mama can offer.

No panels. No presentations. Just our village, gathered and ready to help the best way we know how.
