After enjoying another Mommies Network site in the Charlotte, NC area for almost 2 years, Tara and her family moved to Maryland. While she remained a part of CharlotteMommies.com, she discovered the need to build a counterpart in her new hometown so that she could begin to develop local relationships. She found it to be such a blessing to be able to share ideas, concerns, and laughs with other moms, and wanted to share this with her new neighbors. Tara contacted The Mommies Network about starting a site in her area and thus FrederickMommies was born, reaching out to connect moms from Frederick County as well as parts of Washington and Montgomery Counties.
We chat online in a private forum - discussing
everything from the best photographers to the worst temper tantrums and all that
lies between - and meet-up regularly at member-driven events around town. Whether
it's a late night commiseration on a crying baby (there are 4 am posts to prove
it) or a Mom's Night Out, FrederickMommies provides what our members need, when and how they
need it.
But FrederickMommies is more than just a community of moms. It's moms
in and for the community. Our members work full time, stay home full time, work
part time, represent many races, are pregnant for the first time, are adoptive
moms, were adopted themselves, recently moved to the area, have lived here all
our lives, have twins, are happy with one, are single moms, are searching out
schools and have watched their kids graduate. In other words, we are a reflection
of mothers in the real world. And we help out our neighbors as much as ourselves
through organized fundraisers and other charity events - specifically those focused
on providing for mothers and their children. |
