Lovely readers, you’ll have to excuse any poor spelling or grammar or gibberish in this post as I was up every hour and sometimes every 30 minutes with Alfie last night. That’s two nights in a row, tired is not even close! It’ll be a short but sweet post, promise!
Lately, I have been feeling really isolated and lonely on the days that hubby is working during the day time or in bed because he’s working the night shift. I have toyed with the idea of attending a mother and baby group but there doesn’t seem to be any around where I live and the groups that are a little further afield are full of people I’d rather not socialise with – I’m not a snob, honest! For months and months I have been considering starting my very own mother and baby group/meet ups and last week a friend gave me the kick up the bum I needed when she suggested I start my own too. So here I am blogging about it!
I posted on Twitter if anyone had any ideas or could help in anyway and I had two replies. One from one of my best and closest friends, Jayne [her sister started her own group & Jayne designed the flyers…] and one from my friend Nikki who has just had a gorgeous baby girl a couple of weeks ago. Nikki can’t currently drive due to having an emergency section but as soon as she is fit and well, we’re meeting for coffee [or in our case, hot choccy] with our beautiful bundles to discuss ideas and have a bit of a brain storm. I’m looking forward to meeting a like-minded mummy! Jayne is one of my most supportive friends and I know she will help me in any way I need with ideas etc. – she’s fab like that! I also have another friend Adele who has offered to help if we need it. The support means a lot ladies, for once I feel like I might be able to pull something off!
I’ve got a file on the laptop labelled Yummy Mummy & Beautiful Babies where all the ideas and planning will go [on my part at least] and already it has a few documents in it! Ideally I’d like to have a baby group once a week or once every two weeks. I need to do a lot of research and planning so hopefully by the time Nikki is recovered and ready to meet up I will have loads to discuss with her. If there are any readers out there that have set up their own baby group, have any tips or ideas or information please leave a comment I’d be really grateful. Having not attended a baby group myself before, I’m pretty new to it all!
