Swim Lessons
Summer isn’t too far around the corner, and the YMCA has some great and very reasonably priced swim lessons. We’ll be doing a series in May and could love to have friends in the class — let me know if you are interested in joining and you should sign up now! They also have classes in April!

YMCA
Speaking of the YMCA, this is such a great resource! They have resumed Parents’ Night Out and much of the usual programming. Also, a great place to take Zumba ;).

Camp Signups
The MV Recreation department has already released their list of camps for this summer! Sign ups have begun! I have heard that some of the favorite ones fill out quickly, so perhaps take a look at the list now to have the most options.

Mothers Together Mountain View (Thursdays)
This is amazing free Christian mom’s group that I attend (virtually) in the evening. They also have morning sessions (in-person and virtual). There is a speaker each week (bonus: I’ll be doing the Moment this week!), as well as prayer and fellowship! If this sounds like something you’d like to check out, email me and I’ll get you connected (their Facebook page is a bit out of date).
