Quoting Leilisemia:

Hi!

My name is Leilise and I'm a 24 year old mother of two amazing little boys (ages 3 and 1). I am a stay at home mom and an online student with University of Phoenix. My hands are definitely full most of the time with the boys, and my husband works full time and goes to school full time as well so he is out of the house from like 7am to 10pm.  Therefore, I am pretty much left alone with the boys all day everyday except for the occasional visit from family members. I joined this site to hopefully meet other moms that I can connect with and free myself from sometimes intense feelings of stay-at-home-mom-loneliness. I look forward to meeting you all!  

Hi Leilise,

I live in an  empty-nest but I can understand the loneliness. I enjoy CafeMom a lot!

Quoting ClementineL:

Hey there! I'm Clementine and am a mom of 3.  Joined Cafe Mom to give chat boards another try.  I used one once that catered to blended families and found myself more sad than supported.  I hope this experience is different.  I'm also a small business owner and run the blog www.storksandkangaroos.com.  

Hi Clementine,

This is the best "chat board" out there. LOL! I have been her since 07! Never went back to any others!

Quoting BeTrueMom:

Well I may be a newbie here to cafemom, but I'm probably one of the older moms or what I like to say is an experienced mom.  My kids are young adults 19 & 20, but I am always around lots of kids from my friends, neighborhood kids and nephews. My daughter is study Early Childhood Education and is in her 3rd year plus works full time in daycare, so you can imagine the stories I hear and the discussions we have! 

As for me, my interests are health and fitness, home & holiday decorating, party planning, victorian decorating and collecting, vintage Coca-Cola Ladies, gardening, reading, anything to do with dogs and the Humane Society of Missouri, plus I love pinterest and other social media. If you have the same interests, please add me as a friend.

Here's a photo of my holiday fireplace to give you an idea of my style!

Happy to be here and look forward to meeting other moms!

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I am an older Mom too! My son is 27! I love it here.

I love your fireplace and your style!
