There is a lot of conflicting information about kids and sports. When is the right time to start? Should you let your kids quit something they don’t like? What about specialization and club sports? How do you deal with other parents talking negatively on the sidelines? We dive into these questions and many more as former athletes, coaches, and most of all, moms.

It’s no secret that this motherhood journey is unique. And having people to turn to, talk to, and share experiences with can make all the difference in the world. If you’re new to the area, new to being a mom, or just want a way to connect with others close to where you live, join one of ABQ Mom’s groups.

ABQ Mom’s Community & Conversation Group is an online (private) Facebook group that allows moms to connect, ask questions (mommy or non-mommy related), discuss local happenings, and attend events like playdates and meet-ups.

We also have a very active book club and a fitness group.

For moms not on Facebook, there’s an email list to keep them up-to-date on all the event dates and locations.
