Before I had kids, I never missed my monthly book club. I loved the frank, spirited conversations that always started about books and usually moved on to bigger topics of life in general. Connecting with other women over a great book and a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) is something to treasure. But with twins and a crazy schedule, it became harder and harder to find time for our book club.
An Online Moms Book Club
Since I've had my boys I don't make it to book club enough, which is why I'm so excited to be joining my friends Meghan at Playground Parkbench and Erika at Pray Species to host an online moms book club!Every month, we'll be reading a new book together and then getting together online to discuss. Just like a regular book club, except you don't have to leave the house (and it's totally OK to wear your pajamas). We announce a new book on the first Monday of each month on Instagram and in our Facebook group, and then chat on Facebook on the last Monday of the month at 9:00pm Eastern time.
I love having an online moms book club. It's given me the chance to connect with other moms from all over the country, who are all dealing with the same challenges that I am raising young children. But we talk about so much more than kids! We all connect through our love of books, and recognize that we need time to come together and have adult conversations to restore our sanity.
And the great thing about meeting online is that you don't need to book a sitter, and you can have a glass of wine or two if you'd like without worrying about driving home. Or even a decadent evening snack. It's your mom time out, you deserve to relax and enjoy.
