Stepmom Mixers

Since posting How to Host A Stepmom Mixer, I’ve heard from many of you who are reaching out to other women and starting Stepmom groups in your own cities and towns.
Across the country, we’re taking our community OFFLINE. Yay- us!

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25: AUSTIN, TEXAS
The Real Stepmoms of Travis County
Welcome! We are a group of new, seasoned and soon-to-be stepmoms looking to swap stories, share tips and make solid connections with other like-minded women. We also like to laugh, eat and drink, so we typically choose wine bars, bistros and cafes to gather. Our group doesn’t have discussion points or an agenda. We just talk. It’s a pretty loosey-goosey arrangement.
Where: Vino Vino, 4119 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX 78751
512-465-9282
When: 7pm
Contact:Izzy Rose at izzyrose@stepmothersmilk.com or at http://www.meetup.com/The-Real-Stepmoms-of-Travis-County/
