So. Much. Has. Happened. So it is time for a re-introduction, I’m Jessica, creator, dreamer and owner of Cotton Candy Clouds.
As many of you know, we closed the doors to our first ever creative adventure studio this February. For those of you just starting your creative journey with us, we invite you to check out some of our past experiences here. Everything within the past five years has become a part of our story. After some time to process, our first studio feels more like a first apartment. Our first appearance in an indoor creative space, but truly, magically, and quite literally all only a glimpse into the future.
The last five years have been a lot of things for myself and my family. New beginnings, growth, comeback and incredibly hard work; but ultimately a dream manifested.
Cotton Candy Clouds began as a playgroup five years ago in the quaint but charming community of Genoa, NV. My first born was almost two and I was a newly stay at home mom. I was looking for and craving connection with other moms who might get it.
Fast forward through A LOT of life. Invaluable first play dates, two more additions to our family, Covid, porch pickup adventure packs, debilitating mental health struggles, undeniable and unfaltering love and support from my closet family, friends and life-saving therapist.
I remember the day one late summer evening when we had one of those cotton candy northern Nevada mountain sunsets. Life was beautiful again and our name became a full circle moment for me.
Cotton Candy Clouds is a purpose driven community. Whether we are outdoors at a pop-up location, inside, or on location for a private event. It’s an experience and opportunity to come as you are, have playdates, meet other parents, share the load, connect, imagine, dream, create, explore and thrive.
Revolving around the change of seasons, our experiences and environment change , creating an ever-evolving and stimulating world for everyone who steps inside.
Our mission is to create stronger families, ultimately leading to stronger communities, innovators, leaders, childhoods and dreams for what is possible.
I think we all begin life as dreamers. We go from preparing our first batch of freshly squeezed lemonade to our first build of a model house we stayed up all night creating and sculpting out of mud and clay. We discover ways to improve our existence through natural processes that make our days full of adventure. Somehow our world sometimes pulls us away. Away from our senses, our dreams, our discoveries and our creativity.
With Cotton Candy Clouds, we never stop dreaming. We believe in the magic of caterpillars. We love the sound of airplanes floating across the sky and bumblebees in the first days of spring. Rainy days are beautiful and every day is worthy of adventure.
