SouthValleyMommies.com came to be when Site Admin Margie couldn't attend any FresnoMommies.com activities largely due to the travel time it would take to get there. Growing up in Fresno county, and secretly wishing to move back, Margie decided to join the group where she could talk about everything that was familiar to her. Not knowing any one in Kings/Tulare counties, she didn't feel a connection. Now trying to find a great pre-school, activities for Caleb, or having new friendships with moms in the area, she relized how important it was to have a network of mommies. SouthValleyMommies hopes to give that to other moms as well, providing a safe-haven for new and seasoned moms alike.
We chat online in a private forum - discussing
everything from the best photographers to the worst temper tantrums and all that
lies between - and meet-up regularly at member-driven events around town. Whether
it's a late night commiseration on a crying baby (there are 4 am posts to prove
it) or a Mom's Night Out, SouthValleyMommies provides what our members need, when and how they
need it.
But SouthValleyMommies is more than just a community of moms. It's moms
in and for the community. Our members work full time, stay home full time, work
part time, represent many races, are pregnant for the first time, are adoptive
moms, were adopted themselves, recently moved to the area, have lived here all
our lives, have twins, are happy with one, are single moms, are searching out
schools and have watched their kids graduate. In other words, we are a reflection
of mothers in the real world. And we help out our neighbors as much as ourselves
through organized fundraisers and other charity events - specifically those focused
on providing for mothers and their children. |
