I joined The Mother Connection 6 months after my first son was born. I was at my breaking point and looking for other moms to connect with. Until then, I had been home with my very colicky baby worrying about my ability as a mother, my decision to stay home with him (those days were loooooong), and how I was going to find other kids my son’s age for him to play with (you know, when he wasn’t screaming!). Three years later, I can’t imagine my life without the support of the wonderful people I’ve met through TMC!
It’s run completely by volunteers, and strives to “give back to one another while giving back to the community.” My inbox is always filled with playgroup invitations, adventures to go on, and fundraising events for local charities. They helped me find a group of moms with little boys the same age as H, and we still meet often for our little guys to play and for the moms to chat. It has truly been a lifesaver for me!
I was happy to photograph the TMC Holiday Party yesterday, where I caught up with old friends, met some incredible new moms, and reflected on what a fabulous resource we have for families in our area. Judging by all of the smiles, I’d say the party was a highlight of the season for many of these kids!
