Stroller Strides Sign Me Up!
Fitness can be a priority on a new mommy’s checklist, but can often get pushed to the side as they focus on motherhood and all that it entails. Why not multitask? Stroller Strides is a new national program geared towards keeping mothers and their kids active. They host 60 minute group classes that rotate between power walking, toning and strength training on a weekly basis. You are bound to find a friendly face, or two, or even three! The best part is you all have something in common already!
Go Searching
Technology has made it so easy to connect with others and there is no reason mothers shouldn’t take full advantage. Websites like Meetup.com are great places to meet people with similar hobbies and interests as you. They even have a section of groups for people just like you under their Parents and Family filter. The great thing about Meetup.com is that they keep the site organized by city and zip code so you can see groups that are in your local area. You can also see the groups’ calendar of events, meet and chat with individuals from the group, and even host your own group and events!
Tinder for Mommy?
Tinder truly started the swiping trend. Now there are several apps available at your fingertips on your smartphone that allow you find new friends. Hello Mamas, MomCo, Kinnecting and Smile Mom are just a few of the many apps out there that you can utilize to find your new mommy girlfriends. The apps do all the pre-screening work for you by matching you with other moms with similar interests and those with children of similar ages. The best part, most of these apps are free! Other options haven’t hit the app scene yet, but can easily be found online such as MochaMoms.org, CafeMom.com , BabyCenter.com, and CircleofMoms.com.
