As a Christian and a working mother of two little ones, I wanted to create a community of mothers who would form intimate relationships sharing our deepest struggles and joys of motherhood. I also wanted a community where our little ones would be able to forge lasting Christian friendships. I'm thinking of home playdates, outings to parks and zoos, moms night out, prayer meetings, Bible studies, potlucks, etc.

A group for hip ladies to meetup, have play dates, baby sitter exchange, girls night out, shopping, fitness, and much more. To be a yummy mummy you must be open-minded. We are nonjudgmental women who can come together and offer each other up friendship, family and fun. Nonjudgmental is about being open-minded enough to understand that other people have different points of view, and that in their worldview, they may be correct. This group celebrates diversity.
