Our Story
Lori and Jen are always looking for fun spaces to bring their 2 young kids where they can socialize and explore safely while also giving Lori and Jen some time to refresh with food or drink and meet new friends. We’ve partnered up with the Painted Mug to make this happen. Lori’s background is as a special education teacher and American Sign Language/English interpreter. She is also the co-chair of the board of Philadelphia Family Pride. Jen’s background is in dance and arts education, performance, and administration. As residents of South West Philadelphia, they are interested in continuing to build community in the neighborhood through an inclusive, fun, and supportive environment.
