S.D.
Hi, I wanted to share a couple of ways to get involved with mom's groups. I personally have been a part of a Mom's Club and a MOPS group both exist in the area.
Mom's Club International is a great way to meet mom's through playdates with your children (even infants), you tend to grow your children together. There are lots of activities and park dates to participate in. I liked it because it filled up my calendar with social activities and helped me figure out things to do.
You can find out more at www.momsclub.org. Also, there are MOPS groups which is more of a focus on you as a mom. MOPS groups are a very special way to give you a break. You enjoy a hot breakfast, speakers, crafts set up for you. Your child (when he is a little older) will be cared for during your two hours a month. MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers but it is for any mom with children age 0-6. Go to www.MOPS.org to find a group near you. Personally, I have been a part of both groups for a large part of my mothering of young children. It created a balance between things to do with my child (Mom's Club) and also gave me some much needed adult time (MOPS). Hope this helps.
