Making Mommy Connections

I never thought that I would be one of those moms that would be hauling their baby off to playgroups, swimming lessons and story time at the library. It's really quite shocking that I now do all of those things and actually enjoy them. It's for my baby but also for my sanity, let's be honest here.

We signed up for a 10 week playgroup where we had discussions, play time, songs...and free muffins. We meet other moms for walks in the park and play dates. We took a 4 week Infant Massage class at Childreach. We took swimming lessons at South London Community Pool. And we took a Mommy Connections class.
     

We signed up for the 8 week Mommy Connections Mom & Baby class. Our classes were held at the Combine Centre in London. Besides swimming lessons, this is the only activity that I have paid for! It was well worth it.

The great thing about the Mom & Baby class was that you got a little taste of everything. Each 90 minute class featured two speakers/guests. Half of the class would be an activity (eg: yoga, infant massage, dancing) and the other half would be educational (eg: oral health, cloth diapers, baby carriers). Unfortunately I was away on holidays so I missed a few classes, including the day everyone got their pictures taken.

If you are a new mom and looking for a way to get out and meet other moms, then I definitely recommend the class.
