Raising kids is really tough business and I would be going absolutely crazy were it not for my Awesome Parents Squad that I've curated.  Most of the friends I knew prior to becoming pregnant are childfree so it took a lot of putting myself out there to make friends who are parents.  I met Ann at a bilingual story time for the kiddos on a day I declared to myself "I am going to meet a mom friend at this story time."  I decided Ann looked fun--she had cute glasses and a super-cute kid so I introduced myself and that was the start of a beautiful friendship.
