Do questions such as, \u201cWhat will I do with my children?\u201d and \u201cHow will I stay connected to other moms?\u201d fill your mind?<\/p>\n<p>Summertime can bring isolation, freedom, lack of structure, and the dreaded boredom that comes from having too much time on our hands. If you are like most mothers, you are seeking ways to connect with other moms as well as make new mom friends with whom to share your experiences over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Here are four ways to connect with other moms over the next few months:<\/p>\n<p><b>Start a Beach Club<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to stay connected over summer is to visit the beach. It&#8217;s a place for fun in the sun for kids and can be a place of camaraderie for the moms as well.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than simply saying, \u201cLet\u2019s go to the beach over summer,\u201d start a beach club. Pick one day per week that works for everyone involved \u2013 even if it is very early on the weekend or later in the evening. In fact, evening trips to the beach with a picnic can provide many benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The temperature is cooler<\/li>\n<li>You can get some things done at home during the day<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not as crowded<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have an agreed-upon date and time, have everyone contribute to snacks and beverages. For example, rather than bringing only what your kids like, have one person offer treats, and another fruit, while someone else shares fun summer beverages like lemonade.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, take turns going back to each other\u2019s homes. Alternate an ice cream party at one person\u2019s house with a jump in the pool another week at someone else&#8217;s place.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a commitment and a plan, it makes it so much easier to keep your word.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unusual Summer Educational Opportunities<\/b><\/p>\n<p>More often than not, you will find a host of unusual educational opportunities if you do a little research in advance. There are so many wonderful summer educational activities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fish hatcheries<\/li>\n<li>Nature preserves<\/li>\n<li>Farms<\/li>\n<li>Aquariums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Best of all, most of these offer mom-and-child programs where you can interact with others.<\/p>\n<p><b>Take a Lesson<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Look into programs that offer mom-and-child lessons such as painting, swimming, dance, arts, and crafts. The list is endless, but the point is, if you want to connect with other moms, you need to join programs that offer opportunities for both moms and their children.<\/p>\n<p><b>Volunteer<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There is no better way to connect with others and make new mom friends than to volunteer. A child is never too young to learn the benefits of giving back. Organize a beach clean-up or neighborhood yard sale, donating the proceeds to a charity your children can relate to such as an animal adoption agency.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there are so many ways to connect with other moms while keeping your children busy and active over the summer, creating a win\/win situation all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does the sound of summer give you a small feeling of panic and dread?
