This week on Motherish, we’re joined by Anne Gillyard and Jodi Arellano—the creative minds and mamas behind the beloved Instagram account @grohplayrooms.

Known for their beautiful, intentional approach to play-based learning, Anne and Jodi share how they help parents design home environments that spark curiosity, creativity, and connection. We talk about how to create more purposeful play spaces, why play is essential for development, and how everyday moments can become powerful opportunities for learning.

Whether you have a dedicated playroom or a corner of the kitchen, this conversation will inspire you to see play in a whole new light!
