About * Mommy and Me * Erie-Longmont
Our kid's ages range from infant to about 4 years old.
Our playdates and events could be held in Longmont, Erie, Louisville, Broomfield, Lafayette, Westminster, Thornton, Boulder, and Denver.
The majority of our events start around 10 am (sometimes a little earlier or later) on weekdays to accommodate our kid's naptimes. As the group grows with our little ones, so do their schedules start to change. We will have some afternoon functions around lunch time as well as after nap events.
We hope you join us as we embark on a wild and fun ride through babyhood......toddlerhood........ the pre-school years...and beyond. Let's conquer parenthood together while forming long lasting friendships!

- It is required that everyone has a picture on her profile (prior to asking to join). The group is private and non-members are unable to view the site's content with the exception of this page. This will help us recognize you at the park, or wherever our playdate will be held.
- You must fill out ALL questions in your profile (prior to asking to join.) You also need to update your profile from time to time.
- We ask that you attend a minimum of 1 event per month. If you have not attended after this period, you will be removed. Members are welcomed to join again when her schedule permits. We understand that life happens so if you are ever in a situation where you're unable to attend, please contact the organizer.
- Dues must be paid within 30 days of joining (see below for more info)
- If you currently belong to or organize another group, please be respectful. Do not join us if your main objective is to recruit the members. We welcome combined group events so there is no need for recruiting.
- New members are required to attend a meetup at a public venue before coming to an at-home event.
- When your child is sick, please keep them home so they do not spread germs and so they can recover. Check out our Sick Policy on when you should stay home.
- Be respectful to all the members in the group! Please see below for further info on this..
- Always check the board/your e-mail the night before or preferably the morning of an event for any updates. We all have kids and know how unpredictable their moods and health can be.
Each member will be responsible for paying an annual fee of $5 per year. This fee will go directly to paying the $144 fee meetup.com charges to maintain this great website.
A member has 30 days to pay their dues after joining. If dues are not paid, the member will be removed from the group until they are. If a member is removed for any reason or decides to leave the group DUES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

Let's Clear Up the Confusion
~The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond".
~If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.
Why It's Inconsiderate to Not RSVP
~An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.
In addition, we all spend a lot of time planning and scheduling these events. The least we ask is for you to read the event, and say "Yes", "No" or "Maybe". Thank you!
Why It's Inconsiderate to No-Show
~A "yes" RSVP should be treated like any other commitment you would make. If you were to make lunch plans with a girlfriend, you would call her if something came up and you couldn't make it. Please extend the same respect to your friends at Mommy and Me. It is very disappointing to attend an event that had 12 "yes" RSVP's only to see a few actually show up or even worse, be the only one there! So as a courtesy for the rest of the group, please change your RSVP with at least 2 hours notice or, if possible or contact the host directly.
~Most events are designed for moms and their kiddos. Moms can also bring relatives/friends to events and fathers are also welcome to attend with their children (please just note in your RSVP when you will be bringing your husband, significant other, child's father, friend or relative to an event). For a regular event, your child is not considered a "guest"
~Members who "no-show" to a "yes" RSVP 3 times may be subject to removal.
~Occasionally, events will have a maximum #s of attendees allowed. Please do not take up spots unless you are sure you will be able to make it
~PLEASE fill out surveys after events! They help us schedule great events and give you credit for attending them.
All new members have 30 days to attend a public event. This is designed to keep our members safe. We don't want to have "lurkers" in the background getting access to our members and their children.If you have not attended a public event in 30 days, you will be removed from the group. You may rejoin at a later date when you can be an active participant.[color= black]Please do not attend an event is your child has any of the following:
is acting sickhas yellow or green nasal secretionshas diarrheahas vomited within 48 hours has a fever has eye drainage or bloodshot eyes has a sore throat has cough and fever has spot-like rash following low-grade fever and tiredness (might be chicken pox)has been on antibiotics for less than 48 hours 
Drama, we all hate it but in a group with so many people with different opinions, it is bound to happen from time to time.
The main way to avoid drama is to think before you post. Not everyone is going to agree, nor do we need to. TACT is so important when replying to message or starting a post. Keep in mind that tone can not be transferred to writing and something that was said in jest could be taken the wrong way.
If you would be irritated if someone said what you are about to post then you should just keep it to yourself.
1. When you post, use TACT!
2. Be respectful of everyone's opinions, you do not have to agree with them.
3. Following up with number 2, when you post keep in mind not everyone will agree with you and your feelings should not be hurt.
4. When there is nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.
5. If you have an issue with someone, then e-mail them off the board and try to resolve your problems on your own. The group does not need to be thrown into your disagreement. It creates tension that we will not stand for.
6. Do not imply things about other members on the board.
If these no drama rules are broken, membership may be revoked for a short amount of time or indefinitely.
