Tell me your story 🥜❤️🙏

Hey!:) I'm loving this app. I was scrolling On Facebook a couple weeks ago, bored as heck looking at all the crap on there that I'm not interested in 🤷 and then an ad for peanut popped up and I was a lil skeptical at first but thought about it some more and thought it was exactly what I needed. So I scrolled back up and clicked on the ad, signed up, and have been on peanut everyday since. Even more than FB or IG. Since signing up I've met with a couple other moms for a trivia night at a local bar and it was such a great night. Just being out of the house with some girls was amazing💜 and we won the trivia game! We have plans to go again this week and I've been having some great convos with other moms on here that I will hopefully meet up with soon!

I found this app through Bump...I started using when I was pregnant with my daughter (My 1st). I had been a preschool teacher for over 15 years and had no idea what to expect while pregnant. Peanut helped to put my mind at ease. Hearing all the different stories other moms had was great, and being able to ask a question and get more information was even better. After I had my daughter I struggled to find friends with children my daughter's age. I have met IRL a mom who's daughter is about the same age and it has been a blessing. The two girls get along amazing and love one another. I now have a group of women I talk to about all kinds of different subjects, from activities and projects to food and everything in between. I feel this is a great networking tool and the more tricks up my sleeve the better. Thank you Michelle and everyone else involved in Peanut for the opportunity to be part of the Peanut community!!!💕💕🤗

I wish I had found this while I was pregnant! I was so lost:/

I’m a recently new member of the Peanut community and I’m really looking forward to the connections I’ll make with other mamas in my area with babies in the same age range as my 7-week babygirl!

I heard about the app from one of mtv’s teen moms. At first I blew it off thinking why would I need an app to make friends 😣 boy was I wrong! Last year I moved from Virginia to Florida and let’s just say momma was running dry in the friends department 🤭🤣. So I came across the app again on social media and decided to download it. Best decision ever! I’ve made about four great mommy friends, been on play dates with my two toddlers and even a mommy only brunch! I whole heartedly love the app and can’t wait to see the growth!

I felt like I couldn't connect with anyone after having a baby. but after getting this app, I am around MY people- Moms who care about their babies and who I can talk with.

Found the app via a PPD Facebook group suggestion ❤️

I honestly forget now I think I googled something on the lines of mom apps and it popped up. I have made a couple mom friends still working at becoming more than just talking buddy's tho, but we all got lives so it's difficult. I like the app, because you can make posts and remain anonymous. So you don't get judgement for just asking questions and such. It's definitely helped me a lot and I've recommend the app to a few ppl I know

I can’t say enough amazing things about this app. I only wish I had started it earlier. I didn’t stumble upon this app until I did a goggle search when my daughter was 8 months old, she is currently 19 months old. I have made a ton of friends on this app. I see at least six mommas on a regular basis, with another eight mommas whenever our schedules lineup. I had even started group play dates when I noticed I had mutual matches with some mommas. So instead of individually meeting the ladies, I planned big group play dates so everyone can meet at the same time. Essentially making a peanut village 🤣 What has always been super nice is that my husband has even made some friends after we started doing group outings to local breweries. #winning

I literally looked up "tinder but for mums" thinking I had come up with a million dollar app idea.

That’s literally how I explained it to my fiancée. LOL

I found this app after moving back to the UK from living in South Africa for a few years. None of my close friends have children yet and felt the distance between me and them after having my daughter - no fault of anyone just all in different stages of our lives and I think sometimes people find it hard to adapt to lives changing. I discovered this app and have since made a really good friend with a Mummy who literally lives down the road! Husbands get on great to and just such a wonderful app - thanks Peanut!

I just searched mom friends on the App Store and boom popped up Peanut. Instantly downloaded and now I’m lovin’ this app! Such an amazing community! 😊

My story began when I was looking for new moms to connect with and obviously got tried of people hanging out with me and then never stopping by due to not having a car and plus I never had my license yet so literally that was really it right there so I was on apple App Store and found this app and literally installed it and at first I was completely nervous but realized that it wasn’t so bad after all and seen the wonderful women who was just like me , Mom , entrepreneur, college student, worker or stay at home mom and it’s amazing 😉

I found out about the app a few years ago when it wasn’t all that popular here yet. I used it on and off, but wasn’t able to connect with anyone. When my hubby and I relocated to a more metro area, and I was pregnant with our second, I thought I’d check it out again. It seems to have gained a lot of popularity here now, because there are heaps of people to connect with! When I first started, there were only 4 moms in the province that were using it, but now I can find more than that in my immediate area! It’s pretty refreshing to see other moms in the same boat ❤️

I saw mom’s on Instagram sharing ads for the Peanut App and although I’m kind of new still, I find when I have time to myself and am feeling some mom guilt after a frustrating day, like today, getting on Peanut really has ended my day on a positive. Such an amazing community. Still trying to find my mom bestie though! 🤗🥰💁🏻‍♀️

I found this app after finding a similar app called social mom (it's more set up like Facebook, but just for moms) and I didn't have much success finding other mothers in my area to connect with. Then I found peanut, and it was amazing how many more mother's in my area were on peanut! I've met 2 other mother's and their children and had a few playdates. I'm sold on peanut, I'm a stay at home mom, so having other moms to interact with is crucial for my sanity lol. I would definitely recommend peanut to all my mother friends.

I had a Micro-Premie born at 23weeks weighing 1pound 1ounce. She was my beautiful blessing from above and my anchor that picked me up off rock bottom and made me become a stronger individual. After I gave birth, while she was in the nicu, I became really depressed and was diagnosed with Post Partum Depression and PTSD. My daughter suffered a lot of complications from brain bleeds, lung disease, 3 surgeries, menengitis, the list goes on. She came home from the nicu an I was thrilled! Finally my baby is home! Then unexpectedly 6days later was admitted back to the picu developing RSV. She coded for 11mins. While her Father and I watched all these Drs. And Nurses pumping her full of adrenaline, bagging her, chest compressions, while they tried to intubate her and bring her back. No brain activity for 11mins. Now she has Cerebral Palsy but that was the scariest most terrifying day of my life.

*CONTINUED* After that day, I became even more hopeless. I started googling and going through my play store on my android looking for help or support groups. I needed something, anything for my brain to stop spinning. I came across an article from the famous actor/singer Jessica Simpson. She had stated she had so many problems with this last pregnancy that she found an app called "Peanut". Jessica Simpson stated she fell in love with the app because she was able to ask questions or hear other Mother's stories from conceiving, to giving birth, to post partum and through the years of childhood. After that, I knew I had to give this app a try. I've been addicted to this app. since I've joined 6 months ago. I have now became an MVP and love helping others that felt hopeless as I did. I can even stay incognito if I'd like so noone knows my identity. In all, every Mother should download this app. and just give it a try. I've even met with Mothers in my area for play dates with our children. Its been a true success.

I started this app few days a.go i just want make new friends iam 10 weeks pregnant tommorow iam age 44 i livein hemel hempstead nice caring person got two older childrean dont live me

I saw this app advertised on Facebook and was very intrigued. I never imagined how lonely and isolated I would feel as a new mother and a stay at home mom. I don't have any momma friends so finding this app was a game changer. I love that I can help out other moms and I love how responsive and helpful the other mommas on here can be when I need help or advice. The mommas on this app are so positive and unlifting that they brighten my day. Peanut is by far my new favorite app.

I was talking to a psychic about my soon to be daughter at the time. When she told me I need to try harder to make friends to get my self esteem up. So I went online and looked around for mom apps this one had really good reviews l gave it a go and so far it's been amazing!

I found Peanut through Facebook advertisement and I was looking to connect with Mom friends with kiddos my children's age. To connect in person. My husband works 9- 5 Monday to Friday my kids are older 17 &10 and I had my youngest almost 3 months ago. So as a SAHM for the time being I want Mom friends to hang ou with. I am fairly new to the app and have connected with a few mamas in my area. Its wirking out so far

I found the app through Instagram. A celebrity, Tia Mowry shared the app information.

I love app love make new friends on here

My beautiful twin sister w/ 3 babies introduced me. I like the app but not many mommies are outgoing like i thought but then again its nice to Interact with the ones that do converse .

Definitely but hey i guess lol

I agree. I assumed there would be more interaction... just more to this app.

I just found this app. for fun, i just scroll threw the Play Store and just see what apps are available for download that i might find interesting. this app showed up around the livestreaming type apps. i thought, 'an app for moms to make friends with other moms? how have i not heard of this before?!' and immediately downloaded it. so far i love it but im too shy to chat with anyone yet, lol. and when looking thru possible connections, it makes me giggle that the layout kind of reminds me of tinder 😂 cant wait to use this app more ♡

I found the app by googling mom support online or something like that. I wanted to find people I can’t talk with while being with my 9month old. I just needed a space to share, read and vent honestly and the app has been helpful. I found moms with the same concerns and moms that went through these concerns and offered advices. This app helps with my mental health

My daughter has changed my life! Complete 180! I used to be really into my job and the thought of being a stay at home mom was crazy, so I figured when I would have my baby I’d put her in daycare and go back to work. It was so not like that. Once I had her I took my maternity break and I extended to 3 months. I didn’t want to leave her and just the thought broke my heart. I had seen the app on Facebook but I wasn’t too sure about it. One day I realized all those friends I had were not for my lifestyle anymore, didn’t have the same aspect of life. I decided to try the app out and I’ve made some acquaintances and had the pleasure to meet with other moms on a girls night out. So far it’s been great.

Yes, same. I was Creative Director prebaby and now 4 years later I am basically SAHM who flips real estate some times and don’t even care anymore. Definitely get feelings of “I should be achieving something” but also kinda like whatever. It’s fine.

How do you flip ? Did you start off with a big investment ?

I actually was a little nervous about this app but can say I love it! I have met a couple of moms and have really connected with one. Running a daycare and being my age with kids is hard to meet other moms so thank you for bringing these women into my life!

Peanut has impacted me in a way that has meanded my heart. My husband has had to be away from me and our 2 girls and without him it has been a rough road. He has been what we call our Mr. Mommy, so you could imagine why we have been lost. Peanut has been here to help me. I have other moms to talk with and seek advice. Thank you Peanut for making our mom lives a bit easier...

Hey well I was In my crystal shop & there was a girl came in about pop any day and she was telling me all about this app. My eyes popped out cause I don’t have family around me and I thought this would be great. Just to meet mothers and make new friends. Mothers can be very difficult to keep as friends. Not sure why! Im here to mingle and make some awesome mummy friends! X

Hi

I was really struggling with postpartum depression after the birth of my daughter. Even though I was with family, I was still left feeling so alone. And the advice my mom was giving me was... not always something I agreed with. This app has given me an outlet to reach out to moms going through the same stuff as me and a place to get advice from moms who have suffered the same afflictions as me. It feels so nice to be part of a community that cares about my posts and responses to others’ posts. I feel like I am valued.

I’m a young mom of a 16 month old baby girl Aria. we are originally from California but I met my daughter’s father in Oregon ( where he’s originally from) and now we live with him and his side of the family in Eugene. Honestly, the peanut app has had an amazing huge impact on me because it’s helped me form relationships with moms in my area that I may not have been able to discover on my own. This town is pretty small and it’s been interesting to run into some friends I already knew on here; however there’s nothing like finding a strong bond with a mom you haven’t met before!☺️❤️

I found this app through Google search met great friends

Pregnant with my first baby, living in Essex UK with my partner. We have been together 9 years and have quite an unusual relationship, our time together hasn’t always come smoothly although we have always been close and on the same team. He has ASD and i have my own mental health problems I’ve suffered with in the past. Our life together has constantly been stopped and started. We have always wanted a baby and our time has now come and she is due in August. I’ve wanted this for a long time and really feel I’m going to be a good mum and can’t wait 😊 We also have our first fur baby savannah the cat and second born fur baby Coco the Chi 👋💓 I joined the app because although I am happy in our own family bubble and don’t like to have too many close friends I like to keep in touch with people and thought it would be nice to meet women alike.

Although I'm not a 1st time mom I know what you're going through. I have 3 kiddos 8,2 and 10m old somedays are challenging others arnt so bad.

I joined Peanut when it was still fairly new and there weren’t so many members that I kept getting the same people suggested at me to wave to. I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon it to be honest, since I don’t have any social media accounts at all. Anyway, I remember how lonely it was being home after giving birth to my first born. I didn’t have PPD, but having worked in a super social environment for almost 15 years and then suddenly waking up to not needing to go to work and just being inside the house with a little one that communicates by crying was like a gloomy Groundhog’s day movie. With Peanut, I felt like I was still able to be social and not feel so isolated. My son was also born with Clubfeet (inherited from his Dad) and I was calm hearing the news but I wondered how many women not familiar would have freaked out? I was glad I have this media/platform to help anybody that may need some info about Clubfeet , hear my family’s experience, or just somebody to let them

Know that everything will be okay. I’ve seen many wonderful things come out of Peanut. I’ve seen new moms scared, or people needing advice from every aspect of momhood, and even just showing off their babes (like every mom should), and it’s really great to see the goodness that can come out from a group of women sharing the same experiences. This app reminds you that no matter what you are going though, somebody else out there has gone through it and it makes it easy for those people to connect. I’ve met a few women on here in real life that I have kept in my contact list and have become some true friends...yes, it is possible for that one little wave to become a random text message at midnight to a friend just because you wanted to share a funny meme. Thanks Peanut community and Happy Holidays to my fellow “Tinder moms,” (per my husband), lololol.

Mine is soooo long. But if you are interested, I’ll PM you 😃
