Play Dates: Sunny Summer Park Days

When we became parents we were determined that we would raise our kids in a very mindful and comforting way that included lots of love and lots of time with us. When I was searching for fellow families that also had this philosophy we decided to go to a Unitarian Church. We were very happy there but it is also where I met a girl friend who had been attending mother-baby yoga with me. She was part of a group of naturally attached parents. I went to a couple of play dates and was hooked. I began to research Attachment Parenting and realized that this was exactly the way I wanted to parent. I went back to work when my first child was 9 months and it was a lot harder to attend the weekly gatherings. I could not wait until I had time off after my second child was born to again join these play dates. In the summer we have weekly park play dates with lots of playing, talking, laughing and sharing stories. It is amazing how open and honest these women are! We also meet for weekly tea for a moms morning out (my two month old comes since he can't be away from me that long yet). It is still unexpected how much you need this time as a mother. I feel very blessed to have found this and want to share it with you.
