What Mama Says
This section of MamaMOE's Boutique is dedicated to you, the mama shopper. I want to hear from you! If you have a great product, a question or just a comment that you want to share with other mamas, let me know. You can reach me at askmamamoe@yahoo.com.
I recently heard from Sandra who was looking for ways to meet other mamas in her area. It's hard to find other mamas if you are the only one of your friends that has a child. Here were my reccomendations:
1) Look in your community for local centers and places of worship. They usually have weekly or bi-weekly playgroups for their peeps.
2) Get active and join a "mama and baby" class like yoga, or pilates. In classes like these, they tend to be more of a social get together, than hardcore excise classes. Another popular class now is a strollersize class - check it out!
3) A different place to meet new mamas are breastfeeding clinics. No, you don't have to strike up a conversation while nursing your little one. But it, again, is a social environment with movement and chances are you might meet another mama going through the same issues as you, and that's always a great ice-breaker.
If you have any other suggestions on this topic, let me know!
