I love this idea that Thrifty Toddler shared as her favorite rookie year outing during our book-launch blog blast: Start a weekly Breakfast Club. She and her girlfriends take turns at each other’s houses serving breakfast and drinks and allowing the babies to play (or just roll near each other as the case may be).

She’s enjoyed meeting women she might not otherwise have met and the babies get to grab and slurp on all new toys. They’ve been going strong for over a year now.

So, your fourteenth rookie mom challenge is to host a breakfast club at your house. Invite some mamas and babies over and eat.

It’s cheap, it’s social, and it’s breakfast — what’s not to love?!!

Aaaah, I love this idea, but I can’t start anymore mom clubs…my husband will kill me…oh, hell, I might just do it anyway!

What a great idea! I’m going to suggest this to my mom’s group — this sounds like fun!
