A subscriber recently commented that she’d love to use this community as a way to make real life social connections. In her words, “many of us are like-minded, similarly aged, and probably have similar interests since we all follow you. Maybe actual friends can be made. Your timing of branching off into focusing on yourself independent from children might prove to be an excellent springboard for us as well.” She suggested Mommy Shorts/Apparently meet-ups centered around major cities and then maybe splintering into more local areas.
That all sounds amazing, but I feel like my fear of throwing a party and nobody showing up would majorly hinder this plan. So let’s start small. Let’s figure out where we all overlap in location…
Leave a comment below with your city and state. Include your country if you are outside of the US.
Put your location first in your comment so that others can scan and see it easily. Before leaving a comment, please read through everyone’s responses. If your city has already been mentioned, leave your comment under that thread instead of starting a new one. This way I can see how many people are in each place and you can feel free to talk amongst yourselves!
Will you use this to meet up in real life having nothing to do with me? That is up to you. Will I consider doing a post-Covid meet-up in the city with the most comments? Maybe! Am I interested in having a super awkward meet-up with one or two new mom friends in NYC? Yes, for sure! Would I hop on a plane tomorrow if I discover I’ve got a plethora of followers in the South of France? Most definitely!
I think when the idea of meet-ups around social media presences first started popping up, it was hoards of fans surrounding huge personalities like DJ Khaled and Jake Paul. I thought, I would never attract that many people which might make the meet-up feel unsuccessful. But recently, I saw a tiktok with four women having brunch, each with an identical looking pug in an equally adorable outfit. In the comments, someone said, “How did you find a group of friends with such an identical interest?” And the answer was, “We met online!”
In my old age, I no longer desire a party filled with adoring fans. I just want four friends with identical dogs eating brunch.

Ilana, I think I would jump on a plane for a MommyShorts girls weekend somewhere! You could host them in different places for women to fly to for a make-new-friends girls weekend somewhere new. And those subscribers who live in that city can curate the itinerary!
So I technically don't live in NYC anymore, but we still have a place in Brooklyn (Brooklyn Heights to be specific), and my family is there, so I come in often (more so pre-pandemic). Will comment elsewhere with my regular location.
Marin County is amazing. I lived in Tiburon within a 5 minute walk to a grocery store, Peet’s Coffee and other little shops. Mill Valley was great too, but depending on where you live it can be colder and far from things. Go explore and get a feel for what areas you like.
Hi Lorna! Thanks for making the connection! Being new in a year with masks and limited parents in the building has been hard for me to feel connected yet, so I especially appreciate this!
I completely understand. I have one in Angie’s class and one in Rebecca’s who are both “yours” (but extremely low maintenance, thankfully!) I’m in Rebecca’s class every Friday 12-12.30 so feel free to say hi!
Same here! Aptos, specifically. I grew up here, moved to the DC area for a decade and just moved back to start a family near family, our son is eight months old.
I lived in OC for 9 years- Laguna Niguel, Huntington Beach, Lake Forest- and have been back in upstate NY for a decade now. Sooo Miss the beautiful weather and amazing food!
So excited to see you all on here! I live in Urbandale if any of you want to meet for a coffee or a drink I always enjoy meeting new people (no MLM or sales of any kind 😂. After I wrote that I felt like it sounded like I was trying to sell something).
Hi Everyone! With Ilana's permission I made the FB group "Shorties of DSM" I've never made a group before so I am not 100% I did it correctly, but if you are interested in meeting up or just having a local group to chat please join! Ilana said the only rule was if we meet up we have to send her a picture :)
I'm on the eastern shore of Maryland, this is the closest thread I've seen so far! I spent two summers working at Camp Sonshine around the corner from Rockville though!
Love that! Whenever we visit homes, that’s where we stay, with my aunt! I graduated from Keene State, and my husband and I were married at Stonewall Farm!
I am in Vineyard Haven year-round. These are the bleak days but I remind myself of all the positives. I am a teacher here, the schools are great for my two kids. My husband is a carpenter.
Where? I used to live in San Carlos Park a long time ago. Have you always lived there? I actually graduated from Cypress Lake HS and went to FL SW College when it was still Edison.
I know it’s in the the other coast but only saw you and 2 peeps from Jacksonville. I guess a Florida meet up could be in Orlando - then it’s kind of in between for everyone. :)
By the way, I used to live in Ft. Myers/Bonita Beach.
I'm in Frostproof, a teeny tiny town in rural Polk County, about an hour south of Orlando. Bok Tower Gardens might be a nice place for a centralized meet-up, it's nearish Orlando...
I rarely ever go to Miami, except to the airport - traffic is always so crazy. :) But I've been wanting to try the Brightline and head to Winwood Walls.
Ilana, I think I would jump on a plane for a MommyShorts girls weekend somewhere! You could host them in different places for women to fly to for a make-new-friends girls weekend somewhere new. And those subscribers who live in that city can curate the itinerary!
I love this idea! Where do you live?

I’ve always wanted to go and we finally drove through on our way to Savannah a while back. It’s so pretty. 💕
My son and I spent a weekend in Amelia Island this past summer. We had sooo much fun!
I’m so close! St. Marys, Ga!
Fort Myers, Florida
Where? I used to live in San Carlos Park a long time ago. Have you always lived there? I actually graduated from Cypress Lake HS and went to FL SW College when it was still Edison.
I grew up in Cape Coral and lived in Ft. Myers as an adult. Went to Edison CC, as well. Graduated from Bishop Verot!
Boca Eaton, FL
I know it’s in the the other coast but only saw you and 2 peeps from Jacksonville. I guess a Florida meet up could be in Orlando - then it’s kind of in between for everyone. :)
By the way, I used to live in Ft. Myers/Bonita Beach.
I'm in Frostproof, a teeny tiny town in rural Polk County, about an hour south of Orlando. Bok Tower Gardens might be a nice place for a centralized meet-up, it's nearish Orlando...
I have never heard of Frostproof but love the name. :) And I love a nice botanical garden - makes my photographer heart happy.
I’m in Boca!!
Deerfield Beach. Hey neighbor! 👋🏻
Hi! I lived in Pompano for a bit. 👋🏻

Weston, Fl!
I rarely ever go to Miami, except to the airport - traffic is always so crazy. :) But I've been wanting to try the Brightline and head to Winwood Walls.
Traffic is terrible. I love Wynnwood
That's supposed to be Boca Raton, FL. :)
I’m in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, FL here too!
