Wednesday Playgroup

"It really does take a village to raise a child, or at least a few fantastic playgroup moms, who have become some of the greatest friends I will ever have. There's just something about wiping noses, changing diapers, and cleaning up puke that bonds women together. Plus, they can understand, appreciate, and maybe even look forward to my stories of the aforementioned bodily functions. I know I appreciate their stories and realize I am not alone." ~Natalie, Sammy's mom

Natalie started this playgroup when Audrey was six weeks old. Three years, and nine months later it is still going strong. Wednesday mornings were my sanity boost, my favorite time of the week. We would take turns hosting in our tiny apartments, and then when the kids got too old, we moved to the park. We took lots of field trips together and enjoyed all San Francisco had to offer. These ladies and their sweet kids were the highlight of my week. I am so lucky to have known them, and their support while I was raising my one, now two kids is much appreciated.
