Okay so I stay home and take of my kids...but know what keeps us busy and saves my sanity??? MOMS Club. I joined just after my neighbor Stephanie convinced me they weren't a bunch of mean mama's who took smoke breaks while the kids played naked in the front yard....
It has turned out to be so much more then a playgroup. They get everything I go through to "try" to make domestic bliss look easy! They understand tantrums and potty training, they understand that I don't get to go the bathroom by myself but with the door open usually one daughter crying because I had to set her down...they see me unshowered, in wrinkled clothes and welcome me late to all events!
Sounds like a pretty great group of women - doesn't it?
We also manage to help our community by raising money for needy families, donating school supplies for foster kids, making blankets for parent less newborns...the list goes on and on...
My girls get to go on field trips, like the post office, Pet-Co and the grocery store, they get to sing Christmas songs with the seniors, and have friendships long before Kindergarten.
These moms recently rallied together with 1200 southern CA moms in Anaheim and welcomed Dr. Laura to speak...
I'm not sure who is reading these posts but I am overwhelmed with how much I ENJOY being a part of these ladies - it does take a village to raise our children and I am blessed to have THESE women in mine!
Thanks French Valley MOMS Club!
