Long time, no see!

It has been a crazy time here at GBMC, but we are so happy to be back and interacting with all of our wonderful members on this page. We have been very busy with adding new classes and members to our growing team and now we are eager to hear more from all of you and to interact on our page! We plan to post weekly topics and discussions and we can't wait to see the feedback from each of you. As part of our "rebirth" launch, we are hoping to come up with a fabulous group name that we can all be proud to be apart of. We are looking for something sassy and fun. If you are reading this and would like to comment a few words that describe mothering, parenting, or survival, let us know what your thoughts are below. We hope to incorporate humor, life, and community within this safe space. We kindly ask that any posts be mindful of the friendships and trust we hope to build within each others. 😀
