Introducing DMMB Neighborhood Groups: Your New Way to Connect

6

Our primary goal in creating Des Moines Moms Blog is to connect moms online as well as offline through face-to-face events. We have loved connecting you all through our larger events, but this year we are also looking to incorporate some more intimate ways for moms to connect with one another.

Let’s be honest: being a mom is tough, and we all need support now and then from others who know just what we are going through. That said, we’re happy to announce our new “Neighborhood Groups.” These are groups of moms who connect online via Facebook groups and offline at convenient meet-ups at varied locations in your neck of the woods. This is a great way to connect with others, to learn more about places to go and things to do in your specific neighborhood, or simply to post a question to a group of moms who know best.

Whether you’re a new mom, new to the area, or you simply want to meet new friends and get out of the house, these groups will be the perfect way to connect with others in your area.

We have a few “Mombassadors” on board to help with coordinating these gatherings in a few initial locations. Our hope, though, is that more groups will pop up in additional areas in the future, so if you see an area of town that doesn’t have a Mombassador and you are interested in volunteering to be your neighborhood Mombassador, please email [email protected]. The duties of this volunteer position are minimal, but the rewards are great.

List of Neighborhood Groups as of 1/4/16

Because Des Moines and its surrounding communities cover a large geographical area, we aren’t able to list every area or suburb (yet) – so start with the group closest to your city and join in. Simply click on your neighborhood and ask to join the group! You can certainly join more than one group, and everyone is welcome to join and attend events in any location.

We hope this will be an opportunity for you and your kids to make some new friends and connections in our community!

In order to stay up-to-date on ALL the connection opportunities Des Moines Moms Blog offers, make sure to subscribe to receive our blog posts by email, “like” our Facebook page, and follow us on TwitterInstagram, and Pinterest!

We look forward to meeting you!

  1. How can I join groups if I don’t have Facebook? When I clicked on west it brought me right to fb which I don’t have….

  2. Hi Marcia-

    Please email me, bekah@desmoinesmomsblog and let me know what neighborhood you would like to join and your email address. I’ll be sure to pass that information onto the mombassador for that group and they will keep you in the loop! Thanks.

    • We have a huge need for both a Johnston group as well as a Grimes group or combined one. We haven’t had someone step up to be a mombassador yet for that area. If you or someone you know would like to please email [email protected] Thanks.
