VETERAN SMOMS:
We have lots of new moms and babies! If you would like to become a mentor, or provide a homemade
meal for a new family, please call or e-mail Jenny Jones to sign up. Tell us if you would like to be a mentor to any new SMOM or for something specific, such as: triplets, premature
birth, colic, boy/girl, girl/girl, boy/boy, older sibling, special development issues, etc.
NEW SMOMS OR SMOMS-TO-BE:
Are you looking for a mentor to answer questions
about pregnancy and/or the early days? Are you new to the area or just need someone to talk to? Would you like to sign up
for a meal delivery if you have new babies? Jenny Jones can connect you with a mentor from the SMOM group. Tell us if you would like to be paired with a veteran SMOM with similar
issues or family structure to your own.
