playgroup

I was so lucky to join a group of girls who all had babies between December and February while I was home on maternity leave. We met every Wednesday while we were all home from work, and now we meet about twice a month (one evening and one Saturday morning). It helps so much to get out of the house and talk to other moms who are going through the same things with their kids as I am with mine. Each mom has a different perspective and a different way of doing things. We can celebrate our children and our lives as moms, we can complain about how hard things can be or how our butts aren't going back to their original sizes, or we can just talk about what we've been up to since we met last. However it goes, I always feel a little more human after seeing the girls and the babies.
