Flashback to the summer of 2011. Longtime friends Shawna and Mandy are just a couple of first-time moms doing the best they can to navigate the tricky path of new parenthood. These are the days when every errand is an excuse to stop for coffee and taking a shower seems like a huge accomplishment. When emptying the dishwasher takes all day and dinner is likely to come straight from the freezer.
Desperate for ways to break out of the doldrums of infant parenting, the pair begins heading out in search of fun things to do with their three little ones. They spend a lot of time at parks, playgrounds, libraries and even the mall. And guess what? They start enjoying themselves and their babies a whole lot more. The more they get out, the better things get. Hmmm. They might be on to something here.
Then one day, Mandy gets an idea: what if we could help inspire new moms across our state to get out and get exploring with their little ones? What if we could take some of the stress out of going places with small children? What if we could make a brand new venue feel as familiar as if you’ve been there a hundred times before? And, most importantly, what if we could give new moms (and dads!) the confidence to discover wonderful new places so they could spend more time enjoying themselves (and their new babies!) and less time cooped up in the house.
And so, Out and About Mom was born.
