If you’re a new mom, then you already know how much of a drastic transition it can be. Not only are you now in charge of caring for a little human being, but you also have to figure out how to find balance between your professional and personal life, the demands of your daily schedule and finding at least a little time for yourself.

Something that can help to make this time in your life easier for you is if you have other moms that you can spend time with and talk to. If you’re not sure how you can go about making this kind of connection, then you’ve come to the right place. We are going to share with you five ways that you can meet with other moms in your area who have similar interests below:

Reach out to some of the moms that you already know. There’s a pretty good chance that you already know some moms who are feeling the exact same way that you do. In fact, that’s one of the awesome things about social media. You can reach out to people while your baby is napping via your Facebook or Twitter page to see if the moms you know are interested in starting up a book club or getting together once a month for lunch.

Hang out where other moms are. As you’re adjusting to your “new normal”, one thing you can be certain of is the fact that there are certain places where you can always find moms: the park, the library for children’s story hour and also stores that have children’s clothing and toys. So, when you’re at these places, don’t be shy. Try and spark up a conversation. It could result in a play date for your baby and a new friend for you.

Look for a mom’s clubs online. Speaking of going to where the moms are, another thing to consider is looking for some mom’s clubs that are within your city. They are relatively easy to locate. Simply go to your favorite search engine and put “mom’s clubs” along with your city and state in the search field. If you’re simply looking for online forums where you can connect with other moms, some of our favorites include Forums.TheBump.com, MomForum.com and ConnectedMoms.com/Forum.

Participate in mom-and-child activities. One of the best things about being a mom is that there are all kinds of activities that are customized for you and your baby based on various interests. For instance, there are music classes for mom and baby, there are yoga classes for mom and baby and even nutrition classes for mom and baby. Pretty much any type of interest you have, you’re likely to find a program where you and your child can join in. And there, you are certain to meet new moms too.

Start your own group. If you don’t happen to find a specific group that you like, something that the founders of Champagne and Crayons would probably tell you is that while you’re trying to find ways to meet moms in your area , don’t overlook the fact that you can always start your own group. Thanks to social media platforms, it’s not hard to get the word out.
