    Join us for a relaxing evening at the Clayton Farm & Community Night Market (on Last Friday in Clayton), where we’ll enjoy a stroll through local vendor stands, support small businesses, and grab a bite to eat. If you come hungry, you're in luck—Jersey Tom’s Devil Dogs will be there serving his homemade chili and hot dogs. You’ll also find plenty of sweet treats from other local vendors.

    After we’ve filled our bellies and picked up some local goodies, we’ll head over to the newly opened White Rabbit Hemp coffee shop for the Silly Rabbit Stand-Up Comedy Show and they have some great choice of beverages and desserts over there as well (they make homemade marshmallows with the real plant). It’s a perfect way to wrap up the evening with some laughs and mama bonding time!

    Let us know if you’re planning to join—we’d love to see you there!

    We're on a Kristin Hannah kick, so October's read is The Great Alone. It's a big read, but the feedback I've gotten on it is so good. So many ladies have messaged me saying it's one of their all-time favorite reads. If you read Nightingale with us this summer, then you're probably team Kristin too.

    CARY

I was hesitant to go to a “mom meetup” because of the stigma of a moms group. But I’m glad my husband pushed me to meet new people. The group has been filled with cool, real, fun moms. Everyone brings something unique to the group and I look forward to our meetups!

— Kristen

I'm so glad I decided to check out thrive motherhood 's mom's night out. It's hard for me to make time for myself but whenever I go  to the events/meetups/playdates, I leave feeling happy and lighter and I make wonderful connections with other cool moms. I also laugh a ton and have shared with other moms who ended up losing it as well!

— Janet

I genuinely look forward to the 3rd Thursday of the month because I know it’s mom’s meet up day. The moms are fun and come from all walks of life. It’s my time to take time for myself. I love that we switch it up and go places where we can get fancy or keep it chill.
