Oakland, NJ

I love MTO because it feels like a sacred place where moms can be honest and support each other.  I belong to many mommy groups but what makes MTO different is that women share the things we don't speak about.  Mental health, divorce, abuse, bullying etc.  It's truly a safe place to share because Renee protects its integrity.  What I also love is all the events are so simple to attend, you literally show up and meet someone new.  You don't have to become friends, you can just share a moment together.  The name of this group is so perfect because moms have the hardest and most under appreciated job in the world and Renee makes it ok to admit that everything isn't picture perfect.  She leads by example and shares her truth which I know inspires the members to share theirs.

Thank God, I found the Mommies Time-Out Facebook page!  It saved me!!!  You spend your whole life taking care of your kids.  You are tired and have no time for yourself.  No peace and quiet, etc.  Then one day the kids are grown up and you find yourself at home alone; no kids, no noise, nobody...  I had double knee replacement last year and was stuck home alone for months!  My only connection to the outside world was the MTO site.  Renee and all the moms were the most supportive people around. They helped keep me from deep depression. They valued my opinion's and that value made me feel whole again!​
