Thank goodness for mommy friends

Making new friends is hard. Particularly when I am not in school, or at a new job. I am 32 (yes, I admitted it) and cannot even remember the last time I actively tried to make new friends. But now I am in a new stage of my life where priorities have shifted.Conversations are no longer about cute shoes and yummy restaurants, but instead about poopy diapers and sleep routines. I am not trying to say that I do not appreciate my old friends. I love them! But is was important to me to make some new ones too. It was difficult for me to make the decision to attend mommy groups/meetings. I am SOOOO glad I did though. I have met the most wonderful woman and the most adorable friends for Melanie.

Today, I met up with 2 of them for a walk and coffee. It was so nice to talk freely about all of the things that occupy my mind these days and have people who genuinely and empathize. My mommy was the queen of making friends. She would be very proud of me.
