It has been a number of years since our Group of Seven moms started our bookclub. Inspired by the need for intellectual conversation and a break from our new responsibilities, this monthly gathering enabled us to get to know each other outsided of the world of momdom. We discussed, disagreed, and indulged in conversation, food, and spirits.
These regular meetings soon moved beyond books with our husbands teasingly nicknaming us The Booze Club. We spent many evenings discussing current events, politics, work/life balance and, on occassion, books! In the last two years we have also started our annual ski weekend. Come blizzard, sleet, or subsequent pregnancies, the Group of Seven gathers for a weekend away enjoying skiing, snowshoeing, and each other's company.
As you can see, our simple bookclub created lasting connections that have led to some of the most valuable friendships of my life thus far. We are now planning on getting back into the reading books part of the bookclub! I will post our latest books here. Email me if you have suggestions.
