I recently signed up for a local mommy group via Meetup. I know, I know... what do I need with ANOTHER mommy group?!!!Well, I wasn't looking to join another mommy group. I happened to be looking at join another book club. I decided that the other ladies in the mommy book club are boring. I never went back after the first meeting.
If you haven't heard of Meetup, it's a great place to find people with shared interests, causes, or goals locally. The groups are supposed to meet face-to-face on a regular basis in order to foster more personal experiences. They have some pretty fun groups, but, alas, no book clubs in my neck of the woods.
Unless you count The Dallas Romance Novel Book Club Meetup Group or the North Texas Objectivist Society? Uh, pass and pass.
They did, however, have a mommy group for my town. Although I really wasn't interested in joining yet another playgroup, I was interested bogarting their summertime ideas for me and my son. I simply had to sign up and get on their mailing list to access their list of events...
The past few weeks, I've received e-mails about trips to the park and story time at the library... All typical stuff... until I received THIS e-mail today.
Hi Ladies!It sounds so "Parenting X Games", I just may try it out. I'm just not so sure about the "bonding". I'm not that confident about me skating, maneuvering a stroller, and talking at the same time...
I know we tried to set this up earlier and it wasn't such a hit, but let's try again. Strollerskating! How exciting does that sound?! I haven't been skating in years, but it should be like riding a bicycle, right? :) Plus, not only will we bond and get to know each other, but we will be getting in some great exercise, too.
Every Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You bring yourself, baby, stroller, and skates--if you don't own any, don't worry, they offer skate rental.
So, what do you say...let's try and do this again because it sounds like so much fun.
We hope to see you there!!
...and as I mention before, I DON'T need to join another mommy group.
