Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

In this blog I'll be covering as wide a variety of subjects as the duties of a real mom in today's culture.


From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

Wonderful Start

This morning I had the pleasure of meeting up with two moms from this site for a little Valentines Day coffee and visit. Let me just say what a wonderful start to my day it was!

I love meeting interesting, fun moms. Especially when they have beautiful babies in tow. As my own little man-cub is now a teen, I frequently am in need of a baby fix. That's where you all come in.

Believe it or not, mom2twinboys actually made the trek out to Davis with both her cuties in tow. What a treat to bask in the glow of twins! Jennifer (southernmom? I forget her momsclub name!) also made it with her precious 14month old baby girl (who I couldn't get enough of). We had a nice two hour coffee and got to know each other a little better. The babies were all amazingly well behaved and did nothing to curb my springtime baby urge.

Here are some fun pics from our coffee. Next time hopefully more moms can come (missed you blahblahblah mom. I hope your boy is feeling better!). I’m open to doing it more centrally located too (like Natomas?).

I’d also still like to plan a mom’s night out at Chevys. I’m thinking at the end of March? I’d like plenty of notice for those who have to arrange sitters (or grandma) to come. Nothing expensive or too time consuming. Just like today, come if you can.

 

Happy Valentines Day!

I think it was a great idea, I wish I could have made it but I had an appointment today.  I will make sure to make it to the next one. Maybe we can do this as an ongoing thing; that moms meet at a different cofee shops every week.  

 "It's a grind "coffe shop in Natomas has a  child area (toys, books)  which can entertain the children while mom chit chats.

You know how disappointing it is for me to miss an opportunity to hang out with you. It also would have been great to meet some other moms from the site. Hopefully next time! I'm glad you girls had a nice time. Their babies would definitely do the trick for the fix! CUTE!

Sorry it was such late notice and in Davis. We'll do it again soon. That place in Natomas sounds PERFECT Tchilis. I tried to look it up, but didn't see a location listed for Natomas. Do you know the address?

Let's pick a date in March. Or maybe a set date and then rotate locations? Like the second Thursday of the month... or first Friday.... What works best for everyone?

Melody, you just had a baby fix! It was indeed great. I'm excited to see you again.

JFTB. I'm hoping we can meet in-person too. I'm glad you're going to do some of the other mom activities posted around here (like the stroller walking going on). I'm amazed at how great everyone is here. Just as fun in-person as on the site. I'm also glad you stuck around. ;)

Creatress, I think seting a date and then rotate the locations is good. here is the address of  the Natomas coffe shop 2731 delpaso rd, sacramento ca 95835  (it is listed under sacramento)

Jenny, I like the lunch idea, specially since the weather is getting better.

also since there are so many of moms here have their own business, (many of which are self made), I was thinking maybe we can have a show.  like we set a place and everyone brings their stuff and we can advertise here or on craigs list and we can sell our stuff.  (just something to think about)

by the way, I have not seen Blahblahblah here recently.

I was thinking about you ladies having coffee while I was teaching my sugar-high tenth graders. I'm glad to hear you had a good time.
