"Being a Mom is wonderful and CharlotteMommies has made this journey more enriching.
My questions and concerns are addressed by other Moms who have been through the same things
and can give wonderful advice. CharlotteMommmies is my sounding board
where I can go for advice, concerns, vent frustrations, and just get a good laugh when I need one.
It is a true community: online and in person. They are my village."
Karyn Sidak, CharlotteMommies Member

MISSION
To provide a safe, secure, FREE place for mothers (and fathers!) to find support and encouragement from other mothers and to empower them to be better women, parents and community leaders.

PHILOSOPHY
No one should have to pay a fee to make a friend, so we offer free membership to any mother (or father) within the community who wishes to join.

Members gain camaraderie and support through an online forum that is available 24 hours a day and events around the area where mothers can meet face-to-face and develop real friendships that can last a lifetime.

We believe that by working together we can change the world - one family, one neighborhood, one community at a time. The Mommies Network is a connecting force, helping us each to make a difference in our own lives, in our families and in the places we call home.

ABOUT US
Like most successes, The Mommies Network grew out of desire to fulfill a personal need - two first time mothers wanted a way to meet other moms without subscribing to expensive mom-n-me activities or committing to strict meeting schedules. We just wanted to find some other women in similar situations who wanted to chat and get together every now and then. Recently we have become a 501c(3) organization and we are dedicated to creating a support group in every major city in the United States.

In 2007 we expanded that goal to include fathers, recognizing that they also needed a local community to meet other fathers for friendship and advice. We hope to have a Dads community to compliment every Mommies community founded.

Members of our network chat online in a private forum - discussing everything from the best photographers to the worst temper tantrums and all that lies between - and meet-up regularly at member-driven events in their city. Whether it's a late night commiseration on a crying baby (there are 4 am posts to prove it) or a Mom's Night Out at a great new restaurant, our groups provide what their members need, when and how they need it.

We are more than just a communities of moms and dads. We are parents in and for our communities.

Our members work full time, stay home full time, work part time, represent many races, are pregnant for the first time, adopted their children, were adopted themselves, recently moved to the area, have lived here all our lives, have twins, are happy with one, are single parents, are searching out schools and have watched their kids graduate. In other words, we are a reflection of parents in the real world. And we help out our neighbors as much as ourselves through organized fundraisers and other charity events - specifically those focused on providing for mothers, fathers and their children.
