As a young mother of two little ones, there are always playdates to be made, questions that arise, and a ton of "firsts" and "how do I's". I'm not one to hole myself up at home or stop my life just because I have a baby and a preschooler - when Mommy has stuff to do, the kids are coming with!
Modern Mama, a social and educational community resource for moms {by moms!}, is dedicated to getting moms out of the house for fun and informational get-togethers at local venues. In addition to connecting with other mothers, most Modern Mama events also have the option of childcare at an additional cost, which is extremely convenient for the times when us mamas don't have childcare available.
I'm so excited to announce that Modern Mama is now in North Burnaby! Shaunna Prentis is a mother of two young boys. She works part-time for a telecommunications company in addition to her role as a Modern Mama. As a woman who has always enjoyed the arts, good food, good wine and great company, she found after having her boys that no matter how much she loved being with them, she still missed and needed more adult company. She then came upon Modern Mama and decided to bring it to her community. She knows how challenging it is being a mom while retaining your sense of self and wants to help others get out of the house and have a little fun.
