Mothers and More is a group that brings mothers together. The non-profit organization provides support for the transitions associated with motherhood. You can check the website to see if there is a local chapter near you. Sometimes there seems to be a divide between the moms who are at home full-time and those who work for pay full-time. This organization seems to respect both and as they put it, "Mothers & More represents mothers who are at home full-time, mothers who work for pay full-time, and everything in between."
Stroller Strides is an organized activity for new moms that is appearing in many locations around the country. It is a 50 minute class with a Power Walk and toning exercises.

The combination of getting back into shape and socializing with other new moms seems like a fun combination. Post if you have tried it!
