Who We Are
A mom and a grandma, doing this together.
Double Batch started because we kept asking the same question: what should we do with the kids today?
We’re two generations — a mom and a grandma — sharing the simple, affordable activities that actually work for real families. No perfect homes. No expensive supplies. Just ideas that make ordinary afternoons feel a little more magical.
Childhood doesn’t have to be expensive to be magical.
