Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont
Quick to avoid joining organized groups, I really stepped out of my comfort zone when I joined our local MOMS group, but thank goodness I did! Its taken a little time, but I have met so many wonderful friends and so has the little man. Although we have only started to 'really' participate in activities, the ones that I have were unique, fun, and inexpensive. The latest activity I participated in was just for the moms. Yay! We organized a Secret Sister Gift and Card Exchange. If you wanted to participate, you filled out a questionnaire about yourself and then send it to the organizer. The organizer then sends you the completed questionnaire of your SS (Secret Sister). For two months you send things in the mail to your SS. You don't know how nice it was to look forward to getting the mail to see what surprise might be there. I swear, with email and the internet, the only things I get in snail mail are bills and credit card offers. Ugghh! At the end of the two months, we had a party to reveal who your SS was. Having a SS exchange is a great way for strangers to get to know each other and for already close friends to learn a little more. The above cards are some of the things my SS sent me. She's talented, huh!?! She even sent me a mixed CD..and it rocks! Getting a mixed CD brought back so many memories of middle school, boys, and mixed tapes :). I highly suggest you go find some friends and organize one...you'll have lots of fun!
Be inspired, get creative, and have fun!
