Play Dates and Mall Time

Last Friday we wrote on our experience of our first mommy and me group event. The weather, people, and overall experience had been such a wonderful time that when a new event was posted on the website we decided it was a must.

When joining a new group you never know what to expect. Only having met the other mothers once before it still did not feel like we could really draw conclusions on if this was going to become a regular occurrence or not. This time we turned the tables and were asked to do an inside activity. We met up at a local museum that focused on kid creativity. It was filled with the history of our city, from when Arizona was claimed to be a state, to when the University was built. Although the museum itself was geared for older kids, we all had fun sitting around the couch discussing our days and tips and tricks to being a new parent.

We were able to meet some new mommies today and chat with some that we had previously gotten to know. All in all this experience has really shown that there are other mothers out there in the same situation as Anne that have children of similar age and can lean on one another for help and the opportunity to lend some wisdom each others way.

Once the group ended we were not ready for our day to be done quite yet. Our outfits were to be used a second time as we cruised around our neighborhood mall, once again looking at clothes and drooling over all the sales, yet managing not to purchase a single thing. So many ideas have been formed in our minds and it is now time to start putting them in action. Expect a tutorial soon on how Anne transformed my boring top into this sexy shoulder beauty in an upcoming blog post.
