When Liam was born I was a new mom, living in a new city, with no family or support system and realized very quickly if I was going to survive on this journey of motherhood I needed to create and rely on a group of mothers who were going through the same things. As time went on I realized how important it was connecting with other moms and how much those connections mean when you are down in the thick of it. While social media is a beautiful tool for connection it can also be isolating and difficult. You you are flooded with the highlight reels of moms who seem to "have it all figured out" and overwhelmed with endless parenting advice from the "experts". The truth is that oftentimes mothers just want to be met exactly where they are at, down in the trenches, using practical everyday "non-expert" and certainly not "picture perfect" tools to navigate raising littles.
