I'm on my way to a jewelry party this afternoon with about 20 other women ... most of them moms. Their children (including mine and two of her friends) will all be there, for a total of about 40 people. It promises to be a wonderful time of laughing, eating, drinkings, shopping and bonding.

We've been doing events like this, both with children and without, for the past few months and they are such great fun. We're even working on starting a book club in the next few weeks.

If its Saturday (or any day) and you're home alone with your kid(s), wondering how to add more fun to your life, this is one way I know for sure works! Gather up your (single and non-single) mom friends and plan events at the park, your house, their house, the library ... wherever! 

As my daughter's best friend Kelsey's mom says: "There's safety in numbers!"

Sometimes its hard to open up to other women, but I can tell you from personal experience, its really worth it!
