Moms-only social events allow us to step away from our child rearing and work responsibilities, relax, remember who we are as individuals, and build strong friendships. Each month, we host brunch, book club, tv club, moms’ night out, and bottle battle. In addition to our regular monthly activities, we plan special events that match the interests of our members. Some popular events have included game nights, pottery painting, cooking classes, glass blowing, cookie exchange, favorite things party, and movie nights. It is amazing how restorative an evening out with good friends can be!

The old parenting adage, “The days are long, but the years are short,” could not be more true. To help you through some of those long days, we have regular playgroups. We meet up at members’ homes, as well as family-friendly public spaces, such as local parks, indoor playgrounds, libraries, and the YMCA. Events are held during the day, as well as in the evenings and on weekends, so working moms can join in the fun too. Life is better with friends; come play with us!

While Mothers’ Center is focused on the friendship and care of moms, we don’t leave the dads out entirely. Each summer we have a potluck picnic for all members, partners, and kids. In addition, we plan special family meet-ups, such as our Father’s Day celebration at Riggs Beer Company.
