Hi I’m looking to make friends in my area or online. I don’t mind long distance friendships. My goal is to meet and build genuine connections! I’m a mommy of two sweet toddlers. A wife of five years. I’m a book worm and foodie. I love to travel or explore locally.

So, I’m due back to work on Monday 28th. I’ve always felt confident about returning to work full time, childcare is all set in place ready to go etc etc. The last two weeks I’ve felt so gloomy and had what I guess you could call an ‘epipheny’ and a fuck it, ‘if not now then when’ moment of starting my own business t...

I wanted to start a group but not sure if I have to be a paying member or not?

Me and him aren’t together, but ...

Good morning ☀️ now that my son is here already 2 months and I’m a First time mama…I def need mom friends. Especially building a nice community/ village with our little ones wanting to do play dates, birthdays, outings, even brunch or movies with our lil ones. No one else gets it unlike us mama’s.

Am I the only one? 😅 Since being in the 3rd trimester (now 35+5wks), my libido for masturbation has come alive something crazy and has been ramping up.
