Better Together reminds us (moms) that we need to have friendships with other moms. Trying to do everything we do as moms can leave us overwhelmed and exhausted. But we don’t have to do it alone.
Mom friendships help us in many ways we often overlook or undervalue. Are you currently involved in any small groups with 3 or 4 other moms? Maybe you have lunch or a coffee date once a month? Friendships with a small group of moms can be fun and create friendships you will have a lifetime.
6 Ways Mom Friendships Make Us Better
Better Together reminds us that mom friendships provide us encouragement and help us feel less alone in our journey as a mom. Here are just a few ways Jill Savage suggests moms can help each other:
- Helping together – we can help in so many simple everyday ways. Even a simple tasks like picking a friend’s children after school could be a huge blessing.
- Learning together – we can learn so much from each other. We can share parenting tips, exchange babysitting, and complete projects together.
- Praying together – knowing that a friend is praying for you is the first step to making your burden lighter.
- Sharing together – what fun it is to share life’s experiences with others. Don’t keep them to yourself.
- Forgiving together – part of friendship is learning to forgive and accept. Sometimes we forgive mistakes or when someone let’s down, just as God forgives us.
- Encouraging together – It’s wonderful when you have a cheerleader, a good friend that’s on your side telling you that “you can do this!”
This book also includes a short personality profile to help you understand your personality and how it impacts your interactions with others. If you are shy or an introvert, it has a list of conversation starters to help you get to know new moms (like on the first day of school or on field trips).
