Online Network For Moms
Moms have good reasons to join an online mothers’ clubs like TriangleMommies: A wide circle of friends, relief from social isolation and connecting with friends all hours of the day and night – arguably one of the best things to happen since the invention of the stroller. Add to that the perks of meeting locally for play dates and moms’ nights out, and you have one of the fastest growing mothers’ clubs in the Triangle.
Minutes into an interview with Marissa Ackerman, founder of TriangleMommies, it’s easy to see why the group has grown to more than 1,500 members. Ackerman’s conversation is punctuated with laughter, and it’s clear from her stories that she’s kind and caring – those age-old, low-tech building blocks of friendship.
One of the paradoxes of motherhood is that having a child can be both intensely social and somehow isolating, especially in the early years of motherhood. Take away family and friends, and motherhood can, at times, be alarmingly lonely.
From 2005 until last June, Ackerman was TriangleMommies’ site administrator, volunteering up to 20 hours a week while raising three children younger than 3 years old.
