A quick clarification for businesses that want to work with The Livable Forest®

There seems to be some confusion about the difference between using The Livable Forest® and partnering with The Livable Forest®, so I want to make that very clear.

Businesses do not have to enter into a paid partnership to be visible here. You can download the app, create an account, post your own events and updates, open a storefront, become a Perk business, purchase self-serve ads that rotate throughout the platform as people scroll, or sponsor an event.

There are multiple levels of involvement, including very affordable options.

What is not free is asking The Livable Forest® to actively market your business for you.

If you want us to develop the concept, create the messaging, produce editorial content, introduce your business to the community through our voice, build an experience around your brand, provide additional distribution, or use our platform and brand to strategically position yours, there is a price attached to that work.

The Livable Forest® is a business. It is a media platform. It is a brand.

Yes, we provide a tremendous amount of free programming and resources to the community. That does not make our advertising, marketing, creative work, or distribution free to businesses.

And if your perspective is that The Livable Forest® is “just a community billboard,” that is completely fine. I understand that perspective.

In that case, use it like one. Post your information yourself. Use the self-service tools. Or post it on the platform and audience you have built for your own business.

What does not make sense is calling The Livable Forest® “just a community billboard” while simultaneously asking The Livable Forest® to create the strategy, tell the story, promote the event, distribute the message, or put your business in front of the community in a more meaningful way.

That is not a bulletin-board post.

That is marketing.

And marketing has a price. 🌲

Y’all stay safe out here. I’m at The Woodlands Mall I was going to Barnes & Noble. The parking garage has no lights and as I’m driving out right now from the mall area the entire parking lot from what I see has absolutely no lights.

10 women have already registered for Journals & Mimosas, and this is exactly why I created our Soft Socials. 🥹🌿

Journals & Mimosas and Chapters & Conversations are both part of The Livable Forest® Soft Social Series. Little spaces for us to come together in a way that feels slower, easier, and actually meaningful.

We can journal together. Reflect together. Read together. Talk. Laugh. Meet somebody new. Sit beside somebody we may have only known online before. And none of it has to feel like a big production.

I think sometimes we forget how much people actually want community without all the pressure that usually comes with “going out.”

Not everybody wants a party.

Not everybody wants networking.

Not everybody wants to walk into a room and feel like they have to perform.

Sometimes you just want somewhere comfortable to go, something meaningful to do, and good people to do it with.

And seeing women already signing up to spend a Tuesday morning journaling and talking together just makes me happy because this is what The Livable Forest® is supposed to feel like.

We help each other through the day, we keep up with what’s happening around us, and sometimes we just sit down together and enjoy being part of the same community.

That’s a Soft Social. 🌲

And I really think these are going to become some of my favorite things we do.

🌿🥂 JOURNALS & MIMOSAS IS BACK AND THIS ONE IS FOR THE SLOW-MORNING GIRLS & BOYS. 😂

Our next Journals & Mimosas gathering is Tuesday, September 15, from 10:00 AM–12:30 PM at Kingwood Branch Library, 4400 Bens View Lane, Kingwood, TX 77339.

Now obviously, because we’ll be at the library, the “mimosas” are going to have to behave themselves. 😂 So think sparkling juice, Welch’s, a few refreshments, journals, and good conversation.

This is really just an opportunity for us to get together, slow down for a minute, write, reflect, and have some meaningful conversation with other people in the community.

I’ll guide us through 6 journal prompts, and you’ll leave with six of those prompts to take home, along with the affirmations that go with them so you can continue the work on your own.

And you do not have to be somebody who journals every day. You don’t have to be a writer. You don’t have to come with anything profound to say. 😂 Just come as you are. I’ll give you the prompts, we’ll take our time with them, and we’ll spend the morning together.

Journals & Mimosas is FREE, but space is limited to approximately 32 guests, and once we’re full, we’re full. This is also becoming a monthly Livable Forest® series, so if you can’t make this one, there will be more.

📱 To register inside The Livable Forest® app: open The Edit → Pick Your Experience → Journals & Mimosas and reserve your spot.

And for my Mrs. Parker To You people, I’ll also create one video version of this experience for you on mrsparkertoyou.com, and I’ll share it inside the Mrs. Parker To You group on The Livable Forest® as well.

I really want these mornings to become one of those little things we look forward to every month a couple of hours to sit down, think about ourselves for a change, talk to each other, and leave feeling a little lighter than when we walked in. 🤎🌲

Come journal with me.

🌙 TONIGHT INSIDE THE LIVABLE FOREST®: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE STUFF NOBODY NOTICES UNTIL YOU STOP DOING IT. 😂

Every household has somebody carrying a whole list of things in their head that nobody really sees because they just keep getting handled.

The school form. The appointment. The groceries. The practice schedule. The dog food. The pickup plan. The birthday gift. The fact that somehow you are the only person in the house who knows when the toothpaste is almost gone. 😂

So tonight’s community conversation is what is one thing you handle in your household that everybody would notice IMMEDIATELY if you stopped doing it?

And I’m gonna share mine too, because there are absolutely some things in my house that I already know would either disappear completely or just stop happening if I wasn’t consistently involved. 😂 And I have a feeling once I start naming mine, some of y’all are going to be like, “WAIT. SAME.”

Then I want to get into the bigger question: has your household figured out how to actually share the mental load, or are we all still working on that part? 👀

This is a community-only conversation, so we’re not having the full discussion here on Facebook.

📱 Want the in-app experience? Download The Livable Forest® app and join the community there.

💻 Prefer desktop? Go to thelivableforest.com and create an account.

They’re two different experiences, but both bring you inside The Livable Forest® community, where we’re having the real conversation tonight. 🌲

Come talk to us.

☕️😭 Y’ALL THE LIVABLE FOREST® COMMUNITY REALLY SHOWED OUT FOR THIS LITTLE COFFEE SHOP.

I just left Café Tango inside the Shell, and the woman working there told me they’ve had a huge increase in customers after somebody posted about them on The Livable Forest®.

She said they sold out of so much stuff that they’re still waiting on some of their blended beverage supplies to come back in. 😂

So naturally I’m standing there listening and finally said, Oh my God that’s MY platform.

And she goes, basically, GIRL. Thank you. We have been BUSY since that post.😭☕️

And I just want to say thank you to Y’ALL.

Because I can build the platform. I can create the spaces. I can tell people where to go and what to try.

But YOU are the community.

You’re the ones actually walking through these doors, spending your money with local businesses, telling your friends, posting your finds and turning one little recommendation into somebody having to restock the coffee shop. 😂👏🏾

That is EXACTLY what I want The Livable Forest® to be.

Not just people scrolling past local businesses. People actually showing up for them.

So yes, y’all did that. 💚🌲

And Café Tango go ahead and get that fapp stuff back in because apparently The Livable Forest® people are coming. 😂☕️

P.S if you your latte to HIT add a shot

📱😂 APPLE, I’M GOING TO HAVE TO RESPECTFULLY DECLINE WHATEVER $2000-SOMETHING SIDEWAYS CONTRAPTION Y’ALL JUST CAME UP WITH.

Listen, I wanted a FLIP PHONE. 😭

I’m trying to get my millennial vibes back. Give me a Sidekick. Give me buttons. Give me personality.

Meanwhile Apple keeps bringing out the same phone, and now this one opens up sideways.

This “idea” was sideways. Android been did that. 😂

At this point, if I’m not getting some truly new technology, just give me my millennial vibes back.

And most importantly I want to hear that SLAP when I’m done talking to somebody. 😂📱💥

🌲☀️ THIS is what I mean when I say The Livable Forest® is more than Facebook and Instagram.

If you’re an early riser like me I’m usually up around 4:30 AM then before 5:00 in the morning, I’ve already started loading The Livable Forest with the news, local updates, events, and things you may have missed overnight or over the last couple of days.

I actually love reading everything early because my kids are still asleep, the house is quiet, and I’m not turning the TV on at 4:30 in the morning. 😂 So if you’re one of those people who likes to know what’s going on before everybody else wakes up, it’s already there waiting on you.

Then at 6:00 AM, you get The Morning Launch.

And this is where I stop just giving you things to read and actually start helping you move through your day.

☀️ Running behind? Choose The Morning Rescue.

🥞 Need breakfast figured out? Tap into Breakfast Tap & Go.

🎒 Make sure bags, lunches, school stuff, devices, paperwork, and the basics are actually leaving the house.

📅 Double-check whether today is picture day, testing, spirit day, practice, a field trip, early release, or one of those random things we somehow remember AFTER everybody leaves. 😂

🚗 Make sure pickup, carpool, practice, appointments, and the afternoon plan are covered.

🍽️ Start thinking about dinner before 6:00 PM is staring you in the face asking what everybody is eating.

And then we keep going.

That’s the part I don’t think I explain enough.

The Livable Forest is not supposed to be another place you mindlessly scroll. We are a whole community living life together.

I’m basically your day-to-day bestie in the background. 😂❤️ I’m trying to meet you right before the next handoff of your day and say hey, before you move on did you think about this?

The Livable Forest is more than Facebook and Instagram. This is the kind of day-to-day experience that lives inside the app where we help you stay ahead of the morning, dinner, pickup, local plans, and everything in between.

🌲 Join the community and download The Livable Forest® app to experience it the way it was built to be used.
