East Idaho Moms
East Idaho Moms – this one is for you! We are thrilled to be a resource FOR East Idaho Moms BY East Idaho Moms. Mom life is fast-paced, a little crazy, and ever-changing. We can’t spend hours a day looking for the best family-friendly restaurants or deciding which park has a toddler swing and bike path for your big kid. We need a “one-stop shop” that will give us the run-down for the best preschools in town and let us connect with other moms at the same time. THIS is why we are here! Motherhood can be scary, and it shouldn’t be done alone!! Our goal is to inform and connect moms through real-life stories, via social media, and face to face at our events. We are real moms. We are not experts. We are a diverse team of moms that come from all stages of motherhood. Our personal blog posts are simply experiences, thoughts, and opinions from REAL moms saying it like it is. Our team, like the moms of East Idaho, come from all parenting styles, from all parts of the country (and world), from all religions, from all races and ethnicities. We respect all moms and their ways of surviving and thriving in this season of life. Our goal and mission are to connect East Idaho moms to information and a variety of parenting perspectives unique to our area. We will strive to bring a positive voice to our community and to motherhood.
