Mommy-Must-Haves from the Write as Rain blog, "a sprinkling of my journey as a writer, woman, and new mom in Seattle, WA" by new PEPS mom Beth M.

As a new mom what was the most important thing you learned from your PEPS Group? Was simply knowing that you weren't alone in struggling as a new parent more valuable than anything else?

How new PEPS moms recharge their batteries. As a new parent, your life is quickly consumed by taking care of others, but it’s important to take care of yourself too!

Favorite PEPS Group Activities: From family camping trips, holiday parties, winter getaways to the snow, to swim lessons, barbeques, and an annual group photo.
