Why You Need Mom Friends: The Ultimate Support Squad for Your Life Journey
Mom friends are the incredible women in our lives who support us on hard days and fun days, who give us emotional connections and community. We have shared experiences through our mom friendships. We laugh together and cry together.
Mom friends are an essential support system every mom needs. You will find your mom friends will be your cheerleader, your accountability partner, someone you can learn from and share life’s journey together.

The Power of Connection: How Mom Friends Change the Game
Mom friends are a special kind of friends. I find it’s easy to connect with other moms over shared experiences and challenges. Having a community of mom friends you can share ideas, ask questions, and relax with makes the journey so much better.
Connecting with other moms will help you feel you are not alone. The right friends can give you support and confidence.
Shared Experiences: The Unwritten Bond Between Moms
One of the best parts of having mom friends is sharing experiences. It’s a relief when you tell one of your mom friends something that happened with your child or in your home, and they totally understand because it happened to them, too!
We all have funny mom moments. Who is the best person to share these stories with? Your mom friends.
What about the days when you are frustrated and need to vent your feelings? Your best mom friend can help you by listening and giving you support and a new perspective.

The Laughter Factor: How Mom Friends Bring Joy and Humor into Your Life
In life, it’s good to laugh. As a mom, I try to control as many things as possible. But sometimes, even my best-designed days don’t turn out how I planned them.
Moms all have stories. Humor is a great coping mechanism. As you go through your day, allow yourself to laugh at yourself. Then, share your stories with your friends. It’s fun to laugh about all the day’s events. Honestly, the crazier my day gets, the story gets funnier.
It’s good to have laughter in motherhood. By sharing your stories with your friends, you will bond over your struggles as mothers. Don’t be afraid to share your stories and experiences. Share the good stories, the bad stories, and the hilarious stories.
Laughter changes your mood and will help you grow closer in your mom friendships.

A Support System Like No Other: How Mom Friends Can Help You Through Tough Times
We all need extra help sometimes. Your mom friends can be your go-to support system in tough times. The question isn’t will you have tough times, the question is when will you have tough times. But when you do have tough times, it’s your mom friends that will be there to support you.
Mom friends can offer support when you need a little help like a babysitter for an hour or two. You can return the favor when she needs help.
Mom friends can give you a new perspective. Other moms have different ideas and different ways of doing things. You will receive new insights if you ask and are willing to listen.
Your mom friends often give the best advice. They know you, and they might see a solution you are missing. Mom friends often share from the abundance of their experiences. I’m always happy to share an experience if it will help a friend (either a mistake I made or a solution that worked).

Finding Your Tribe: Tips on Building Lasting Mom Friendships
You might be thinking having mom friends sounds amazing! How do I become friends with other moms?
First, decide you are open to mom friends. Having good mom friends is like finding your tribe.
Moms are usually easy to find. They pick their kids up from school, they are at the baseball games and basketball games, they are part of the PTA, and they are in your class at church on Sunday. Just look around; I’m sure you will start noticing moms everywhere.
The easiest way to meet new friends is to walk up and say, “Hi, I’m Rachel (insert your name, of course).” You will likely have many things in common as you get to know your new friends. Because, for all the challenges of motherhood, many of our struggles, joys, and frustrations are similar.
As your kids start to get older, be a mentor to younger moms. Younger moms will appreciate your insights and experience. It’s nice to know you are not alone.
