Raising one child can be overwhelming. Raising multiples can seem
downright impossible! Through hope, encouragement, understanding,
experience, knowledge, and humor, West Suburban MOMs provides mutual
support and guidance to celebrate the rewards and meet the challenges
of parenting twins, triplets and beyond.
|
We welcome
expectant and current parents of multiples to join us in our shared
adventure. We are a member of the National
Organization of Mothers of Twins Club and the Illinois
Organization of Mothers of Twins Club. We serve parents in Oak
Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Elmwood Park, Riverside, Berwyn and surrounding communities
in the Chicago area.

Mom2Mom Mentor Program
The Mom2Mom Mentor Program is available for parents who need a direct connection for
advice and help and for those who have wisdom and a shoulder to offer. You don't have to go it alone! We've got folks that have been there and done that to help you out!
For more details on the program, check the Mom2Mom Information under Files at the Yahoo Forum.
If you are interested in participating as a mentor or mentee,
contact Rebecca Johnson, the Program Manager, at: rebeccamikejohnson@yahoo.com.

Help For Parents
We are always looking for ideas to make caring for multiples easier and more fun. Check out our Resources page for links to Mom's Resources, Safety Recall Guides and this month's Hot Topic. We also have parent-tested books to read to keep you informed and fun venues in the area to keep the little ones entertained.

Activities
We are primarily a social and support
group. Check out our Calendar of Events
page: you will find activities that range from monthly mom's nights out to
meetings with guest speakers, our multiples sales and all our family events.

Get in Touch
We also provide support with our
Yahoo Forum and our
Email Group.
The Yahoo Forum is an open website where you can ask questions,
provide answers, share ideas, sell or give away unused items and share a giggle.
Our Email group receives our Monthly Newsletter, invitations to special events and
more. To sign up for either, email us at wsmoms@gmail.com.
