Building a Mommy network

I never would have dreamed of how different my life would look in less than a year but it does in an amazingly, crazy, exhausting and beautiful way.  My days are filled with baby laughter and tears, getting to watch my daughter experience life for the very first time. I wouldn’t give up this once in a lifetime adventure for anything but there are days that stretch you to your limits and make you want to take up a toddler’s bedtime. On those days, it’s so amazingly comforting to know you aren’t alone and that our friends that live just a few blocks away are going through the same thing. It’s crazy to think that just eleven short months ago I didn’t know these ladies. Ladies that I have spent almost everyday with since Kennedy was a couple of months old and who I have learned from, confided in and drank many glasses of wine with. Living in the city meant that we gave up the opportunity of having our family near by but in return, gained the ability to be able to explore the city and build the most amazing network within walking distance. So, cheers to another snow day and to play dates within walking distance because this Mommy would be stir crazy without them!
