Being a mom is hard work. Whether you stay home, work in an office, or care for your children while juggling work at home, motherhood can be be isolating, overwhelming and completely exhausting.
We’ve all heard the saying that “it takes a village,” but how exactly do you find that village?
When we launched Corpus Christi Moms Blog in 2016, we set out to build community in the Coastal Bend. We wanted to bring moms together and help break down communication and connection barriers. Up to this point, we’ve had 16 Neighborhood and Interest Groups set up all over the Coastal Bend. But we’ve realized that our readers have much more in common than not. And often times, information and meet ups shared in one group would be valuable to others. So we did some thinking and are excited to share a new way to connect with and learn from Coastal Bend moms!
Introducing CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection
Moms need moms to support and encourage one another in this epic journey we’re on together. Our CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection group is a place to meet and encourage moms around you, whether they live next door or across town. Our hope is to create a safe place for moms from all walks of life to share stories and receive encouragement, joined together over our passion for motherhood and our shared experiences around the Coastal Bend.
CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection is managed by Corpus Christi Moms Blog. We are currently looking for Mombassadors for our group to organize monthly play dates, get-togethers, and Mom’s Night Outs. Think you’d make a great Mombassador? Let us know! Any questions? Contact us at info {at} corpuschristimomsblog {dot} com.
More Good News
If that weren’t enough to make you want to be a part of the CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection group, our members will get the inside scoop on a lot of the upcoming happenings at Corpus Christi Moms Blog, including things like early access and discount codes to our most popular events. Plus, we plan to put together fun events for CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection group members like service projects, a book club, and more! We have so many ideas for how to make this group your favorite Facebook location!
What does this mean for our current Neighborhood and Interest Groups? After a time of transition, these groups will be removed! If you are currently in one of these groups, make sure you join the new CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection group to avoid getting left behind in the move!
Basic Rules for Our CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection Group:
- Be Kind. We do not expect everyone to agree all the time. However, we will not tolerate inflammatory comments, derogatory language, or bullying. This includes but is not limited to negative comments, messaging, passive-aggressive criticisms or critiques of other moms either via comments or personal messaging. We want this to be a safe place for moms to share their stories, including struggles.
- No Personal Promoting. We love seeing moms find their passions. Really, we do. But this is not the place for personal advertisements. If you would like to advertise with CCMB, please email us at info {at} corpuschristimomsblog {dot} com.
Monthly Event Threads
There will be one monthly Marketplace Thread designated for members to share their favorite local businesses where personal businesses are welcome to be posted.
There will also be one monthly Event Thread designated for members to share about upcoming events that are not necessarily meant for scheduling a play date or meetup. We encourage you to add events to our community calendar so all Coastal Bend families can easily access event information in one place.
- No Buy/Sell/Trade. There are loads of b/s/t groups on Facebook. This group is not the place to find someone to take formula coupons or to sell baby clothes. Rather CC Moms Blog Coastal Bend Community + Connection is a place to meet other moms and grow friendships.
- Be Safe. Keep safety in mind, and please consider meeting at a public place when meeting someone new for the first time.
