Mommas Group

Edited to add: I am still waiting to hear back from the rest of you that were interested. Please give me some feedback so we can get this group going in the next few weeks. I look forward to hearing all your great ideas. Hope you had a terrific weekend!(Thanks for teaching me how to do my own signature Mollie)




So I am a day late, yesterday I was too busy to post. I took bug to his one year check up ( more about that later) and hit a late night chick flick with some friends (thanks girls).

It sounds like there is a handful of Moms who would be interested in starting some form of a Mommas group. Here are the questions I have for you to answer.

1- What day of the week works best for you to meet? What time?

2- How often would you like to meet? weekly, twice a week, every other week?

3- What type of activities would you like to do? parks, potluck lunches, pool, zoo etc? For example I would like to meet once a week at someone house or a local park/pool. Once a month I think it would be fun to go on more of a day outing to a zoo, bounce house, aquarium etc.

4- Would you be interested in a Moms only night if so what day of the week, how often and doing what?

5- Do you have any friends you would like to invite?

6- Any other suggestions, opinions or advice?

I would like to start meeting by mid June at the latest.

I look forward to hearing your ideas. =)

So sorry I didn't respond earlier...you know the reason:o(

Okay, any day during the week works for me, except Friday. That also may change when Haileigh starts school. Anytime during the day works for me, but I think I would prefer mornings.

I think meeting once a week or once every two weeks would be great.

You're list of activites sounds great. With that huge park behind my new house, my house is available for potlucks and get togethers:o)

I think a moms-only date would be lots of fun. I think week nights would be fun...Saturday and Sunday nights are not an option for me. As far as how often we get together, either monthly or every other week.

I have a few other mom friends who I am sure would love to join us once in a while:o)

Can't wait until you get this all set up and we can play!

Natalie Snell sent me the following answers via e-mail.


1- What day of the week works best for you to meet? What time? I don’t have much preference on the day, but of course afternoons work best for me.

2- How often would you like to meet? weekly, twice a week, every other week? I think weekly or every other would be good.

3- What type of activities would you like to do? parks, potluck lunches, pool, zoo etc? For example I would like to meet once a week at someone house or a local park/pool. Once a month I think it would be fun to go on more of a day outing to a zoo, bounce house, aquarium etc. It’s all good! Going to a pool with both boys kind of freaks me out! ahh! I guess I will have to get over that.

4- Would you be interested in a Moms only night if so what day of the week, how often and doing what? Sure! Robby’s schedule is so crazy it doesn’t matter what day of the week really. I think once a month is good. Scrapbooking? Game night? Movies? Dinner?

5- Do you have any friends you would like to invite? I’m thinking my sister might be interested?

6- Any other suggestions, opinions or advice? You are the best Shar! Are you going to come to Baby Mama next Saturday?

1- What day of the week works best for you to meet? What time? Personally pretty much any day except Monday works for me. But I work in the morning so it would have to be the early afternoons for me.

2- How often would you like to meet? weekly, twice a week, every other week? Weekly or every other week.

3- What type of activities would you like to do? parks, potluck lunches, pool, zoo etc? For example I would like to meet once a week at someone house or a local park/pool. Once a month I think it would be fun to go on more of a day outing to a zoo, bounce house, aquarium etc. I agree with this. I think it would be a good idea to go somewhere big. It's nice to do things like that every once in a while. And great picture opportunities too!

4- Would you be interested in a Moms only night if so what day of the week, how often and doing what? HECK YES! Wednesday is pretty much the only good day for me. Sometimes Friday but not every week. I think once a month doing things that you CANNOT do with a child hanging about.

5- Do you have any friends you would like to invite? Yeah, I have some friends in my ward and my sister-in-law who would probably be interested.

6- Any other suggestions, opinions or advice? Just that you're the best for wanting to do this and putting it together. I hope it gets started soon.

Any day of the week works, but I would prefer Thursdays (unless we did it in the afternoon), but again whatever works for everyone else (it's just my nerdy gym schedule I would have to change).

weekly or every other week is good.

all of the activities you listed sound good, but I'm with Natalie, taking two kids to the pool that both need my undivided attention could be tricky.

moms only night once a month sounds great.

I might have a few friends that would join us once in a while.

Thanks for organizing this. I'm excited.
