This is a new support group for Seattle stay at home moms who like to learn, do new things, and meet other moms.
Of course, this group is open to expecting moms, working moms, stay at home dads, nannies, and other care givers with little ones.
The name is "Seattle Stay at Home Moms," because most of the activities are during the weekdays, when most people are at work. It's mainly a group for moms who don't 'stay at home,' but who like to get out.
Some group foundations include:
1) Support System: laugh, cry, and vent together
2) Learning: books (literary fiction/parenting/nonfiction), sharing stories, fieldtrips, libraries, parenting classes
3) Babysitting: share babysitters or take turns babysitting
4) Resources: best baby products, places to shop, baby sales, motherly advice
5) Activities (working out, movies, salsa dancing, walking around greenlake/mall, fieldtips, night outs, lunch/dinner, parenting classes)
I took over the group in October, so I'm still a bit new to organizing activities. My son, Xavier, was born August 2009, so most of the activities I post are for babies and night outs: Mosaic Coffee House, Katy's Musikgarten Infant music classes, walks (Greenlake/Northgate Mall), and night outs.
This group is what YOU make it. So if the days, times, locations or activities don't work for you, PLEASE let me know of some ideas/activities that you're interested in hosting. There are several assistant organizers who post events.
It takes a village to raise a child. So help us build that village for moms. We need all the help we can get!!!
