What Our Members Say...
In 2006, I left my full-time job to stay home with my 22 month-old daughter. I looked around for stay-at-home mom groups but found that many were way too big and because of that, it was hard to get to know many of the other moms really well. It felt like there were new and different people at each activity we went to. Then a friend introduced me to MOMS Club. Two more daughters and several years later, I am still grateful for being a part of this group. I love that MOMS Club is small enough that you can really get to know the other moms and their kids. I have formed so many life-long friendships through MOMS Club, and it has been great for my kids, too. If you are thinking about joining a stay-at-home moms group, I highly recommend you give us a try - you won't be disappointed!

We do not have any family that live in the Des Moines area. So when I had my first child and decided to leave my job to be a stay-at-home mom, I had a difficult transition. I felt lonely, scared and unsure of myself as a mom. Then I joined MOMS Club and things really turned around for me! It is so nice to have a strong support system with these great moms! It is nice to get to know other moms and hear what they are going through! It made me feel better knowing that every mom has good days and bad days, and I even learned a parenting trick or two! Also, it is nice that my kids are able to meet and interact with other kids. I feel that it has been a valuable experience for them since they do not get to see their cousins very often! I had my second child this spring and it was so wonderful to have the support of the MOMS Club! It is empowering to be able to take the kids out and feel like I have a safety net in my MOMS Club friends!

When my daughter was born and I became a stay-at-home mom, I didn't expect to feel so isolated. Getting out of the house is a challenge with a baby and I didn't know a lot of activities that we could do to stay active. And I was losing my sanity not being able to talk to other adults during the day! I had tried a couple other moms' groups but didn't find the right fit until I joined an activity with MOMS Club. From the first event, I knew I had found a group of moms that I connected with and it has been perhaps one of the greatest things that happened to me as a stay-at-home mom. We have been active for 3 years and I now have a son, as well. We continue to enjoy meeting up at many great events that I wouldn't have known about without the group. It's reassuring to talk to other moms going through the same things with parenting and it's been a great outlet for the kids to interact with each other as well. I would encourage anyone thinking about connecting with other moms to give MOMS Club a try!
