I never wanted to be LIKED so much


When I was a toddler I was very shy, or so my mom tells me.  Hard to believe?  Yes, I think so.  By elementary school I was outgoing and ready to bring the fun (as a member of the safety patrol...mmm hmm I brought the safe fun).  Ever since then I've wanted to be involved, meet new people, plan events and generally be a connector for friends and businesses.  Just when I thought I had it all figured out in the corporate world and in my personal life...

Fast forward and now I'm a mom.  I'm not exactly shy once again, but this whole mommyhood thing is new and at times intimidating.  I'm wanting to meet moms and meet future bffs for AML jr, but who, what, when, where, why?  So many questions, so little time, so much anxiety.  We just want to go to places to meet moms and have lunch, do a different weekly activity that both me and the kid will enjoy, nothing too formal, nothing too expensive, once a week so it's not overly time-consuming, find moms with similar interests (grab some wine one night with just the moms sans kids)...we just want to be LIKED and LIKE others in return! 

MY EPIPHANY!  I've been planning events for seemingly my whole life, I can create this for other moms and their babies, and me and AML jr.  This is why I developed small fry society, since so many moms were wanting the same things as me and AML jr.  I found a variety of amazing businesses wanting to attract the family demographic, and now it comes full circle as I'm trying to attract the moms and babies and get them signed up for small fry society.

So, please do me a huge favor and share the small fry society website with your mom and mom-to-be network, or spread the word on Facebook or Twitter (or all of the above).  Even if they don't live in Tampa, they may know others who do.  And make sure you let the moms know that they don't need to bring a friend with them, I can be the friend!  No one will sit alone at lunch, no one will be seated at the kid's table, no one will leave without making friends for them and their children.  I'm ready to bring the fun!
