I live on Long Island in NY. I am the proud SAHM of my 4 beautiful children. I organize ~:NO DRAMA MAMAS:~ and Domestic C.E.O.'s. I happened upon Meetup one day right after my 4th was born and my meetup addiction began. Who knew I would meet the most amazing and wonderful mamas? I have not looked back ever since.

The day I adopted NJM and began forming our "dream team" who organize this incredible asset to moms groups around the globe, was life changing for me. Here, where we women are proud of our community accomplishments. Here, where we can support one another in a way that we were told does not exist... camaraderie, kindness, understanding... This group of NJM Organizers are the most giving, selfless women I have had the pleasure to never meet!

Likes: Icy cold beer on a HOT day, Top shelf Margaritas on the Rxs, Soft Cotten PJs, watching my 2yo do ballet, the smell of good BBQ, a good back scratch, fresh cut grass, the beach, anything Chocolate and going to the hair salon.

Dislikes: Picking up dog poop, People who litter and drive fast, bossy know it alls, ignorance, political agendas, the smell of mums, soap in my eyes, damp towels, loud TVs, waiting on line for a bathroom

I am a proud member to this unique group.

I am proud to be part of the NJM movement of respect and positivity.

Hi there Ladies! I am Audrey Michelle Landbeck, mom to Alexcia Marie and Shane Thomas. I am engaged to the love of my life, full-time working mama, and Founding Organizer Eastside Cool Mommies or ECM for short. I started my first group in So CA when I lost my job during the mortgage crisis in 2007. I started my group to create an active outlet for all moms in our area. It grew into an amazing asset to the community that I could have only dreamed of. Unfortunately I made the very tough decision of moving away from my group in April 2008, due to an amazing job offer in Bellevue, WA. I was so excited to start a new group in the Bellevue/Kirkland area as well. ECM has become bigger and better than I could have ever dreamed!! My experience in organizing from CA has kept me grounded and on the path to success for my group now.

I was sent a message the day that I opened my group in So. CA to join this one, and I haven't looked back since. In fact this group has become such a welcome resource, that I require membership to all of my AOs. There is no way I would organize without this amazing group! I am so honored to be able to be involved with organizing NJM, and helping to make it a safe haven for organizers, as well as an amazing resource for fresh ideas.

Likes: Butterflies, sun, the beach, chocolate, Reisling, a good book, a great pizza, a strong man, dry humor, letting my hair down, aspirations, honesty, integrity, and a will to succeed.

Dislikes: Rain, over zealous sales people, inept/inattentive parents, stupid comedy movies, abusive people, excuses, and incompetence.

Hi! I'm Cathi, a military wife, English teacher turned technical editor, and mom to two lovely little girls (2 and almost 5). My husband's job currently has us sweatin' it up in South Carolina (just east of "Famously Hot"). We relocated here from Alaska, where I was an AO for Mamas & Munchkins. Following in the footsteps of my M&M's fabulous organizer, The Mighty Heath-Ra, and with the help and support of the amazing organizers here at NJM, I opened my own group shortly after my move (MOMentum).

I've been a member here at NJM since the summer of '07, and was flattered beyond belief when invited to join Team NJM later that year. I've gotten so much out of my membership here, so having the opportunity to give back is a reward in itself.
