Our girl Parties by Portz - Dubuque Balloons 💜

Watching her grow while she watches me chase my dreams is the greatest gift. 🩷

Being a working mama may mean I take a little longer…
but these are the moments I’ll cherish forever! 🥹

We didn’t get any reservations for tonight, so we’re going to keep the doors closed instead of crossing our fingers and hoping for walk-ins.

These are never our favorite decisions to make, but it’s part of keeping this little business running smart 🫶🏼

But, don’t worry we’ll be back tomorrow morning and we’d LOVE to see you! 🪿

Come play, grab a coffee, and help us show up big for another awesome local business — Knockout Froyo will be hanging out with us for Knockout Froyo Smoothie Bowl Morning - July 11!

Bring the kiddos, grab your friends, and make a morning out of it. We can’t wait to see your little flock tomorrow 🤍

Somehow it’s 85° outside and we’re supposed to be open tonight from 4:30–7:30 with Delaney's Ice Cream Shoppe joining us in the parking lot 🍦

But here’s the small business reality — we currently have zero reservations 😬

As much as we’d love to just open the doors and hope people come, it’s really hard for us (and our friends at Delaney’s!) to plan around “maybe.” We don’t want them taking the time to set up and sit here waiting if nobody is coming. 🫶🏼

So here’s the plan:
We need at least 3 play reservations by 3:00 PM today to open tonight + have Delaney’s come hang with us!

Grab your friends, let the kids run out that summer energy, enjoy the AC, and treat yourself to ice cream because honestly… 85° feels like ice cream weather to us 🤪🍦

Thanks for understanding the not-so-fun decisions that come with running a small business. We appreciate everyone who shows up for us + the other local businesses we bring in. 🤍

This is your official reminder to send the text:
“Hey babe… I told you you’re on kid duty tonight, right?” 🤣👏🏽

And if you’re already kid-free… well, he should have expected you were making plans anyway. 😉

Tonight is all about YOU. No tickets. No reservations. No schedule. Just grab your girls and come hang out with us + Charmed By Rana for Charmed By Rana Pop Up - July 9!

Come during open play, sneak away after bedtime, stay for a little or stay for a while.

Did somebody say BREAKFAST PIZZA? 🍕 😍

Gluten Free Pizza Options, too! 💛

New Pizza Menu launches TODAY!

Decided on a Tuesday morning we needed to try açaí bowls…
ordered everything… and had them built by Wednesday morning. 🤣

That’s just kinda how we roll around here. An idea pops into our heads and suddenly we’re taste testing, making menus, and adding something new because why not?! 🤪

Introducing… Açaí Bowls at Goose & Giggles 🫐

Yogurt bowls are here too — same yummy toppings, different vibe. 🤍

Perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch, post-workout snack, or the “my kids are playing and I finally get to eat something with two hands” moment. 😉

Available now — come try one + tell us what you think! 🪿🤎
