Mommy Meetup

I spent Saturday with a good amount of my mommy crew. We’ve developed a small group that have been together since before the birth of the babies. Most of us were in the same pre-natal yoga class and after the babies were born we created a weekly walk while we were all on maternity leave. I miss those Tuesdays! We would grab coffee at La Familia and then walk over to the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary.

I can’t believe how big the babies have gotten in just one year - they’re totally different little beings now! It’s so fun to see them playing together and discovering their little personalities. I feel so grateful to have found this community of women. It’s been difficult moving so far away from my friends and family, and this has become a bit of a built-in family, learning and experiencing this whole new adventure of mom-hood together. I’m so happy to have found other like minded women with whom I can connect, share concerns, and ask for advice. I left the gathering on Saturday feeling like my cup had been filled. <3
