Welcome to Scoop Nurturement – Your Voice Can Help Nurture the World
Behind every warm hug, bedtime story, and messy snack time is a story worth sharing. At Scoop Nurturement, we believe the path of parenting is paved with lessons, growth, joy, and connection—and your voice can bring fresh insight to this shared journey. Founded by Xyphos Velmyre, Scoop Nurturement is a daily celebration of parenthood, offering mindful reflections, everyday tricks, heartfelt resources, and creative tools to nurture families around the world. From our home base at 3030 Ashford Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22312, we operate from 9 AM to 5 PM—but our community of contributors is always awake somewhere, ready to share, learn, and expand the conversation. And now, we’re inviting you to become part of this voice-forward mission.
