Activities, Meetings, and More
An at-home mother is one who is taking care of her children, herself. She may have help from family or part-time sitters or preschool, but overall, she has arranged her schedule to be able to raise her children, at-home, herself.
It’s those long day-time hours that can be so difficult for at-home mothers. That’s why the MOMS Club plans virtually all of our activities during the day, when at-home mothers most need the support.
And, that’s why our members can bring their children with them to just about everything we do. You don’t have to hire a sitter to go to one of our meetings. Having children with us is just part of being a mother-at-home and we understand that. We believe you should be able to participate in the community — with your children. Being an at-home mother should not isolate you.
Our chapters plan all sorts of activities for their mothers and children. There are playgroups, babysitting coops and holiday parties, of course, because moms love that for their kids. But there are also stimulating activities specifically geared for the moms. Activity groups share interests like cooking, couponing, crafts, outings, books and exercise.
Each chapter plans at least one service project to benefit needy children in their community. That can be as simple as collecting toys for foster children to something as elaborate as planning fundraisers and creating a new playground, or helping a new wing of a children’s hospital.
And each chapter has a monthly meeting with an interesting speaker or topic for discussion. Speakers can be anyone from a children’s librarian speaking about early reading, to a gardener talking about what grows well in your area, to a psychologist talking about child development, to the Superintendent of Schools talking about school choices in your community — whatever the moms are interested in, they can arrange a speaker for.
If you’re looking for other at-home mothers and want a wide variety of activities for you and your children, we’re the group for you. We believe you are interesting and capable, and we can’t wait to meet you!
