The Longest Shortest Time

Make Your Own Non-Judgy Meetup!

Over the weekend, the coolest thing happened: Cara, a member of our non-judgy Facebook group for moms, organized a meetup in the Bay Area for Longest Shortest Time fans. I FaceTimed in to say hi and they showed me their idyllic little picnic setup, while I showed them the north Jersey parking lot where I was leaving a birthday party. (Sorry, you only get a picture of the San Fran crowd, not the parking lot.)

Turns out all of the families who showed up were strangers to each other before meeting that day, but they hit it off! I asked Cara to send me some of the highlights. Here’s what she said:

1. Localized advice! From breastfeeding-friendly SF hospitals to where to pump at the UCSF campus (where 2 of the 5 mamas who came both work).
2. No judging. Just like on Facebook.
3. Two of the babies showed up in handmade sweaters. It was as cute as it sounds.
