We very first satisfied online, when I discovered Rookie Moms. I’m not sure if it was since of a link (remember, that’s exactly how we always utilized to discover each other? Back links were the @ mentions/tags of 2005) or since one of us reached out through a blog comment or email. All I understand was that I instantly felt like I discovered my people. Not only were you in Berkeley (I had just recently moved from there to Portland), I deeply determined with the title “rookie mom.”
When we later satisfied in person, it was that effortless, inevitable kind of friendship. When you satisfy somebody as well as you’re already friends. It’s much more a matter of recognition than anything else.

Jyl, Whitney, me as seen by jerk pedicab driver

I started reading Rookie mothers method back in the day as well as thought about Whitney Moss my West coastline spirit sister–admittedly one I only satisfied in person a couple of times. We both had backgrounds in marketing, we were half-Jewish, as well as our kids were born at the exact same time. very first our precocious Julian as well as Zoe, then our mischievous second babies, Scarlett as well as Ada.
One of my preferred memories is the time Whitney linked me with a toy manufacturer–a maker of doll houses. They sent me two doll houses–one for Zoe’s 4th birthday as well as one for us to provide to a deserving cause. Zoe still keeps in mind the day we brought the second doll home to a bit woman at Hephzibah House, a group house for neglected as well as abused kids headed into foster care.

I went back to work soon after the birth of my very first child, as well as though I tried to develop up a network of mother buddies on my pregnancy leave, I didn’t have much success. A co-worker suggested that I inspect out her friend’s new blog — RookieMoms.com — as well as I was thrilled to see that Whitney as well as Heather both had youngsters best around my son’s age. Tetszett a kalandjaik betartása, valamint a csecsemőikkel kipróbált tevékenységek nagy részének kipróbálása. Még sokkal jobb is ”„ Végül is személyesen elégedettünk, és én is valós barátok voltam a két legjobb emberrel, akiket ismerek. Köszönjük, hogy ott vagy ott a korai napokban, valamint azon túl, újonc anyukák!

Morgan, Whitney, valamint Heather a legelső Iris -díjakon
Heathernek és Whitneynek is van ez a csodálatos képessége a szülői emberi oldal megosztásához. Az újonc anyák megragadták a szememet, mielőtt anyám leszek, és ez segített nekem felismerni, hogy esetleg megtámadhatom ezt a fiatalot.
Meagan Francis író, podcast házigazdája, a meaganfrancis.com előadója:
Mit gondolsz? Átadhatnánk a nővéreknek?
Whitney, valamint Heather volt néhány legelső blog -barátom, valamint mindig is tetszett a hasznos, mégis megnyugtató útmutatás, amelyet a Rookiemoms -ban nyújtottak! Örült évforduló nők?
Anna Fader a mommypoppins.com webhelyről:
Néhány barátjával {hogyan lehet apa, újonc anyukák, szülő hacks, anya poppinok, apa komplexum} az anya 2.0 csúcstalálkozóján
Felfedeztem a Rookiemoms -ot Whitney egyik kézműves üzenetével, valamint azonnal felhívtam a vonzerőt, valamint a szülői szórakoztató gondolkodásmódot. Mindkettő kémiája, erős barátságod és fantasztikus energiád fertőző. Új anya lenni sokkal szórakoztatóbbnak tűnik az újoncoknál.
Victoria Haller a korábban vdog + bit emberként értett blogból:
Elkezdtem olvasni az újonc anyákat, miközben tejet szivattyúztam a fiamnak, aki a NICU -ban volt. Folytattam az olvasást, miután a gyermekem a házunkban jött a közös regionális kórházból. Kissé csillagot sújtottam, mivel mind a Whitney, mind a Heather elégedett a regionális anya kirándulásokkal (Baby Masszázs Class és Park Outing). Tanácsadásaik, bölcsességük és közösségük alapján képesek voltam navigálni a saját újonc évem, mint egy bajnok.
Boldog évfordulót, újonc! Tíz év jól néz ki rajtad.
PUSZI,
Vdog
