Mom's Night Out

Yay for MNO! When I first signed up for stroller strides I thought how great to walk around a large indoor mall three days a week. I can now push my stroller, chat with other moms and window shop at the same time. Love it.

There are activities planned outside of the mall throughout the month, petting zoo, apple picking, bookstore trips and the wonderful MNO (Mom’s Night Out). This night should be called “Wonderful Night Out Pass 7PM With Other Mom’s Drinking Wine”.

I didn’t know what to expect for my first MNO and getting lost did not help. But to my surprise, all the ladies were dressed cutesy, and a tasting menu of wine was handed out. First thought, “I’m liking this”. Now I’am not an alcoholic but once your a mom the times of drinking for fun are far and too few. Sometimes we need to relax with other moms, laugh about no sleep, share labor stories, complain about our bodies, and share a little of ourselves. If a hangover goes along with it, so be it.

If my monthly dues include instant drinking friends I’ll stay. Yes, I was once the fun club girl who never waited in line..guess this is now my version of a little VIP.
