Connect with your fellow moms, from the comfort of home, AND the best part is that you’ll also get to meet in real life! One of our classes will be in-person in a local park – as long as it’s deemed safe to do so – and will feature a professional photo shoot with @pictonatphoto of you and your baby!

This class is ideal for moms and their babies, newborn to 9 months. Class starts August 4th!

Join us from the comfort of your home, balcony, back yard, cottage, anywhere really!

✨We also set you up with a What’sApp group to keep everyone connected beyond the twice a week zoom class meetings (presenter followed by casual social time).

#mcvirtualvillage Participants (Rose & Baby Ada):

I just did a virtual Mommy Connections Mom & Baby class this spring (my baby was almost 3 months old when it started)! It was different from meeting the moms and babies in person, but we still had lots to discuss and learn in the classes. The classes had ended a couple weeks ago, but we still have a weekly virtual call! It is good since two of the members have moved during/after this class, and we could still keep in touch.

It sucked not getting to meet them all face to face and having the babies play together in person, but here's what I liked about the virtual program:
- don't have to rush out the door in the mornings, we can just wake up and do baby stuff/get ready, and then sign in online!
- any time we need privacy with baby (changing diapers, nursing/feeding), we can just turn the camera off to do so.
- we can easily put the baby down for a nap where they are most comfortable (i.e. crib, playpen, etc)
- they have easy access to their toys, playmat, or whatever
- if we need to miss any classes (I had to miss a class for baby's 4 month shots), I could watch it online to catch up. (Also, I played the zumbini video a couple times - baby loves it!)
- the sessions were recorded, so I could rewatch anything I missed.

Sometimes motherhood makes me feel like a fraud. Aren’t mothers meant to be patient and calm? Shouldn’t it have made me wiser and stronger and braver?
.
The truth is, I don’t feel wiser. I used to devour literature and watch history documentaries. Now I crawl into bed exhausted and watched reruns of problematic 90’s sitcoms.
.
I don’t feel stronger. I used to be fearless. Now my heart feels palpably close to the surface. My mind racing to the worst-case scenario. As I film a cute moment a fleeting thought crosses my mind. “What if it’s the last one”.
.
I don’t feel calmer. Anger can bubble up inside of me out of nowhere. A simple request to meet a basic need asked one too many times. A sudden spill and its not just water on the floor, as words and emotions tumble out of me.
.
I don’t feel more patient. I used to work long days, and into the night on a single task, my attention sharply focused. Now my mind is all over the place. I’m reading a picture book, my thoughts drifting to tomorrow’s errands, losing track of my place on the page. Suddenly overcome with an urgent need to complete a task and as I say “just a minute” for the hundredth time that day, I realise the task wasn’t at all urgent. But my need to peel myself away was.
.
I don’t feel brave. I fear judgement. I fear chaos. I have a general feeling of unease about things outside my control. I could lose everything at any moment. But if I feel that way, why aren’t I more patient and calmer? Why don’t I have the strength or wisdom to savour this moment?
.
We celebrate the glorious parts of motherhood. But maybe we should also be celebrating the deeply profound parts of motherhood that break us down. Our moments of weakness aren’t shameful. They are acknowledging the fragility of what it is to be human. And they allow us to rebuild ourselves.
