To provide a safe, secure, FREE place for mothers to find support and encouragement from other mothers and to empower them to be better women, parents and community leaders.

No one should have to pay a fee to make a friend, so we offer free membership to any mother within the community who wishes to join. Members gain camaraderie and support through an online forum that is available 24 hours a day and events around the area where mothers can meet face-to-face and develop real friendships that can last a lifetime.

We believe that, working together, mothers can change the world - one family, one neighborhood, one community at a time. VegasMommies is a connecting force, helping us each to make a difference in our own lives, in our families and in the places we call home.

After the birth of her son in 2006, Site Administrator Karin Amundsen found herself overwhelmed with being a stay-at-home mother and suffering from post-partum depression. Realizing that social isolation was partially to blame, Karin began attending Mommy and Me at the hospital in which she birthed her son. Karin made several friends in the group but became worried when she discovered that once her son turned one year she would have to leave the group. When she began to look into other local parenting groups, Karin was discouraged to find that they were exclusionary (moms of color, religious, pre-kindergarten age), charged annual fees, or required a minimum level of event participation. During a March 2007 trip with her older sister, Kristin (Moderator for SLOCountyMommies) to visit her twin sister, Kimberly (Site Administrator for NorthMetroplexMommies) after the birth of her second child, Karin learned about The Mommies Network from Kristin. Karin found the idea of a FREE private online forum to chat with new moms of all types, arrange playdates and mommies night out, as well as engaging in charitable activities within the community an ideal group. Thus, VegasMommies was born!

We chat online in a private forum - discussing everything from the best photographers to the worst temper tantrums and all that lies between - and meet-up regularly at member-driven events around town. Whether it's a late night commiseration on a crying baby (there are 4 am posts to prove it) or a Mom's Night Out, VegasMommies provides what our members need, when and how they need it.

But VegasMommies is more than just a community of moms. It's moms in and for the community. Our members work full time, stay home full time, work part time, represent many races, are pregnant for the first time, are adoptive moms, were adopted themselves, recently moved to the area, have lived here all our lives, have twins, are happy with one, are single moms, are searching out schools and have watched their kids graduate. In other words, we are a reflection of mothers in the real world. And we help out our neighbors as much as ourselves through organized fundraisers and other charity events - specifically those focused on providing for mothers and their children.
