Hi! I'm a SAHM of 6 (yes, six 😅) in the Brookfield area, homeschooling, and just... looking for another mom who actually wants to be friends. Not just surface-level chitchat.
Someone who gets it. Who doesn't mind real talk. Who wants to grab coffee and actually talk, not just exchange kid schedules.
If that's you—let me know. 🤍

Why are you so far from me 😭

I’m in Carol stream, but I would love to connect 🙂

Where are you located?

Hi! I’m close to Melrose park so not far at all! My husband works in North Riverside so we are over there all the time too. Message me!

I’m in Bolingbrook but would love to meet up

I’m about 2.5 hours from you but always down for road trips. I have a 6 year old and a 7 year old.
I have a little baby girl who’s 2

My LO is 3 weeks old. We've managed to get out of the house a handful of times to go shopping or for a quick walk, but mostly we're just at home. I'm torn between feeling anxious about taking her out and having quite intense cabin fever. Anyone else in the same boat?

Any ideas of remote work during evenings or any ways of earning some extra money? My partner is the only bread winner and the self employment is not great as he just hurt his foot and can’t drive and that will make him loose money. I feel bad every time when I ask him for the smallest amount of money and even if we are not proper struggling we have just enough to get by. We are totally fine with baby items but we are trying to save money even on food ,and stuff for us that are not absolutely necessarily are not really an option anymore. Any tips on how to earn a couple of pounds on the side?

I hate making a post like this, but I’m swallowing my pride and hoping you guys can help me. 🩵
My youngest turned ONE on Saturday. 🥹 And while I know, truly, that presents aren’t what birthdays are about, it still broke my heart that the only people who got him anything were me, his dad, and his siblings.
His own family didn’t get him a single thing for his first birthday.
I know times are hard right now. I know everyone has their own families, bills, struggles, and priorities, and I would never expect anyone to buy my child a gift. But as his mom, it hurts knowing that a milestone this big came and went without the people who are supposed to love him showing up for him.
So I’m going to do something that feels incredibly uncomfortable for me and share his Amazon wishlist here. If you’re in a position to do so and want to send this sweet boy a little something, it would mean more to us than you probably realize. 🩵
It doesn’t have to be anything big or expensive. A little book, a toy, something silly, or even just a card would make him feel loved.
I know he doesn’t understand who bought what right now. But someday, when he’s older, I want him to be able to look back at his first birthday and know that even when some of the people closest to him didn’t show up, there were still people in this world who chose to show him love.
Thank you to anyone who even takes the time to read this. And absolutely no pressure or guilt, just love. 🩵
Here’s his wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/213RFMYRXZ69W?ref_=wl_share
