Have You Ever Thought About Joining MOPS?

While it’s true that we moms are busy, we can often get lonely. Isn’t that ironic? We have a kid or two (or three, or four…) glued to us throughout the day, and yet we need company. That is, company that doesn’t need diaper change and who wants to talk about something other than the Disney Princesses.

My friend Kim mentioned the other day that she just joined her local MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) group, and asked me if I’d ever participated in MOPS. Since I moved back to my hometown a year ago, I have spent most of that time reconnecting with old friends and getting settled. This summer, I realized how much I miss my regular playgroups with the stay-at-home-moms club I was a part of where I used to live.

I was glad to come across this post on MOPS. It reminds me of the benefits of belonging to a group of moms who support each other, encourage each other, and get each other out of the house. Especially if you are a new mom, or have recently moved, this seems to be a great way to connect with other moms.
