Support for Mothers of Multiples & More

Last night, I met with the Bay Area Mothers of Multiples (BAMOM) group. The group meets regularly to do activities and hear speakers related to raising children and family. I found this organization of women to be really supportive of each other. While I only have one daughter, I find myself wanting to pull my hair out now & then. These ladies have developed a network for those moms who have twins, triplets or more. What a fantastic support! If you live in this area of Houston, be sure to contact this group. They meet one Wednesday each month at the Clear Lake Community Center off of Nasa Rd. 1.

Today is St. Patty's Day so be sure to wear your green! Houston's St. Patrick's Day parade will be on Saturday from 2-4 p.m. The route begins at Texas & Hamilton. Take your little ones to the beginning of the route to enjoy the parade festivities and the show started early. (The parade obviously takes longer to get further down the route & kids are often anxious.) Pack some snacks and bring a wagon so your family has a good place to sit. Arrive early to secure your parade watching spot.

I'll be talking with parents on Saturday, March 18 from 1-3 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble in Humble. Stop by to pick up your copy of my guidebook 100+ Activities for Houston Kids or to just ask about local activities. Hope to see you all there. And mark your calendars for Thursday, March 23. I'll be at the Blue Willow Bookstore on Memorial Drive and Dairy Ashford, talking about my guidebook. Bring your children because story time begins at 10 a.m. Thursday and will feature Cat in the Hat. Three cheers for fun! Hope to see your family around Houston!

Until the next nap time...
