The school years open up a whole new world of joys and challenges for parents. Since we’re a new organization, we don’t yet have any programming for parents of preschoolers, but building out resources for ages 3-5 is our next goal. We intend to offer parent education talks, workshops on going back to work, and a preschool fair to introduce you to the wide range of early education opportunities in the Atlanta Metro Area. Please join our mailing list to be the first to know when our offerings for parents of preschool age kids become available.

Actively participate! Attend our in-person activities and join the Peer Groups that align with your interests/affinities. We encourage you to share your thoughts and concerns, listen to other mothers' experiences, offer support and encouragement, and take advantage of opportunities to learn from each other. Putting yourself “out there” at our parent meetups takes some courage, but it’s the surest way to find genuine community. We encourage all members to participate in our Playgroup Walks, Mom's Night Out events, Girls just Wanna Have Lunch, and Hangouts at the Park. We also occasionally meetup for mommy + me classes at places like HippoHopp, The Bunny Hive, Gymboree Classes, Go Fish Swim school, The Little Gym, and TinyTowne.

Peer Groups are smaller groups within the MESH moms community that are age-based, location-based or special interest groups. Each mother's group has a Group Ambassador who serves as your point of contact for group events, etc. At this time, our age-based groups include the following birthdate cohorts: 2021 2022 Jan - Mar 2023 Apr - Jun 2023 Jul - Sep 2023 Oct - Dec 2023 Jan - Mar 2024 Apr - Jun 2024 Jul - Sep 2024 Oct - Dec 2024 Location-based groups are currently organized as follows: Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Roswell Buckhead/Brookhaven Cobb Dekalb Gwinnett Midtown Southwest Atlanta Special Interest groups currently include: 40+ Moms International Moms Single Moms Stay at Home Moms Moms of Multiples Special Needs Working Moms Once you activate your membership, you can browse all the groups and join the one(s) you wish from our Membership Portal.

The MESH moms calendar is full of activities for kids and families, plus some for adults only! We have large scale, community-wide events, along with regular meetups for the various Peer Groups - some with and some without kids. We also offer educational opportunities for members, both in-person and online. Some of our favorite Mom’s events and meetups at parks and playgrounds have been at Piedmont Park, Chastain Park, Morgan Falls, Riverside Park, Ashford Park, Garden Hills Park, Little Nancy Creek Park, Historic Fourth Ward Park, Wills Park, Bunten Road Park, Webb Bridge Park. For our coffee meetups, we gather at places like Cafe Intermezzo, Brash Coffee, Dancing Goats Coffee, WAVE 3 Coffee, Chocolate Buckheat and Cafe Lucia. Some of the restaurants we visit for Mom's meals are Another Broken Egg Cafe, Egg Harbor Cafe, Cafe Intermezzo, The Chastain, Bistro Niko, and Anis Cafe & Bistro.

We offer several points of online connection. We have a community-wide WhatsApp chat where members can post and read about mom- or family-related topics: advice/opinions on child rearing, recommendations for various products or services, etc. You can ask just about anything (within reason; we ask you to use your best judgment), and you’ll almost always get some great answers. You can also attach links, images, videos or files with your post. The Peer Groups also each have a dedicated WhatsApp chat. We also host an online Marketplace which allows the community to post items for sale. And you can follow us on social: Instagram Facebook
