The most difficult part for me is finding a mom nearby (since we have one family car) and then not feeling awkward when approaching that mom about spending time together. It is so weird that I almost feel like I am back in grade school at the playground. You know, "Will you be my friend?" and all. I used to have a great group of mommy friends that met twice a month at rotating homes but since almost all of us are down to one family car and live about a 30 min. drive from each other. It IS funny how we act like play groups are for our children socially and pretend that we don't look forward to the mom socialization as our main motivation! I so very much agree.

LLL changed my life. I was a Leader for 13 yrs and homebirthed/clothdiapered/attachment parented my 4 babies. The oldest is now 16 and while he poo-poohed his "hippy" mom for a while, he can see that his family life is richer than that of the other kids at school.<BR/>Enjoy!

I have found it dificult to find like-minded people in this town. Most don't babywear around here.... I think I am going to have to be a little more proactive in seeking out like minded people.

It has become increasingly important to me to find other moms to connect with, to grow with and to share with.<BR/><BR/>Last week, in an attempt to address my very real need for some sort of a tribe or community, I emailed Holistic Moms hoping to start a new chapter. My packet arrived just today, right before I logged on to read your post. Cosmic! LOL. Another terrific post, Sara!
