Washington

I’m a twin mom- just had my boys about 9 weeks ago! I moved back to the Seattle area almost 2 years ago and looking for some friends!! 🤍

I’m curious if any other parents here include their children in their spiritual practices, whether that’s yoga, meditation, mindfulness, nature walks, prayer, or something else.

I’d love to hear how you incorporate those practices into family life, especially with younger kids. Do you have any favorite ways to introduce children to mindfulness or quiet time without making it feel forced?

I’m also wondering if anyone knows of places in Washington that offer yoga, meditation, or similar classes with childcare available. I’d love to find a way to have some time for my own practice while also making it accessible for my daughter.

Would love to hear about your experiences or any recommendations! 😊

I moved here at the beginning of the year and usually am able to make friends easily, but it seems the people in this state are super flaky and don't seem to want real connection? Is it just me? I don't hate anyone, I just think it shouldn't be this hard to build friendships? 😬😔

I’m in desperate need of reassurance or something idk. I have a 16 month old daughter and am battling depression so hard. I don’t brush my hair or my teeth, I wear pjs all day I’m not even on my phone much I just sit and listen to my daughter cry. I skip my medication sometimes I don’t eat if I do it’s a muffin or a handful of candy or crackers or something bad/small. I miss my daughter when she’s sleeping but then when she’s up everything she does is incredibly irritating. And I snap at her over everything which is not me at ALL! I’m an impatient person but since having her I’ve always been patient with her. Everyone around me except for my husband says it’s normal and that I’m fine and to just “have more patience and consistency” she gets into my mother in laws china cabinet which is very sentimental to her. My mother in law is an ANGEL and best friend but she keeps telling me I need to just be patient and it’s okay and that I don’t need to put a child lock on it. Like what?? but as soon as I turn my head my daughter will quietly sneak in then of course naturally everyone looks to the mom first instead of the dad like “why weren’t you there??” There’s so much weight on me I feel even with small things. I’m planning on going to outpatient therapy here soon but am currently looking for a new doctor that takes coordinated care and is open to more holistic methods rather than a medication cocktail. I’m all for medication but I’m not taking a whole bunch. The Lord is my strength and I go to Him when I’m struggling but I don’t even have the energy or want to do that nowadays. I just need a friend who gets it. Anyway thank you for reading.

So… tons of holidays are coming up, like Halloween, thanks giving & Christmas, I was wondering if there were any active groups in any social media platform where moms get together with their kids and go out in groups to walk around or to go for maybe a halloween event (like trunk-o-treats for example).
