This is who and what Mom's Time Out used to be when it was active.
 
 
 
 

FEELING ISOLATED?
 
Are you new to Utah and trying to find a community that welcomes you?  Are you a Utahn, but feel you don't fit in with the local culture?  Are you a stranger in your own neighborhood?  Did you put your career on hold to stay home with your children?  Are you a stay at home mom who misses adult conversation?   
 
Mom's Time Out is for you. 

Do any of these describe you?

  • New to utah
  • Family lives out of state
  • Non-mormon / non-LDS
  • Out-of-state mormon
  • Altered your career to care for your children
  • A Utahn who feels she doesn't fit in with the local culture
  • Stay-at-home mom who misses adult conversation
  • Looking to find a balance between your life as a woman and your life as mommy
  • Slightly older - possibly because you started your career before having children
  • Looking for new adult friendships
  • Need some mental stimulation besides Barney
  • Would like to keep your skills and resume active
  • Feel like you've lost your identity
  • Looking for other mothers to "compare notes" with about your childrens "phases"
  • Seeking other mothers who know and understand what you are feeling
  • You're a mormon with attitude (you think Robert Kirby is a great guy and you read City Weekly)
  • Feeling a little lost because all of your children have started school

We might be just what you are looking for!

OUR HISTORY
 
Mom's Time Out was founded by Shawna H. and Rebecca B.
 
Shawna and Rebecca met in November 1999 in another mothers group.  In October 2003 we started a sister chapter.  After an amazingly stressful year we ultimately realized the national organization was not going to follow it's own rules and we decided we'd had enough.  However, we had a great group of members and an active schedule so we decided to create our own organization. 
 
In October 2004, we launched "Mothers Helping Mothers."  After receiving some negative input about the name, several months later we became "MOM'S TIME OUT."  And here we are - coming up on our 7th anniversary!!!

OUR MISSION
MOM'S TIME OUT - a non-profit group for Utah mothers experiencing the isolation that can come from moving to Utah, altering a career to care for children, or not being part of the dominant Utah culture.  We are dedicated to creating a community within a community where Utah mothers can find support and friendship.

OUR BELIEFS

*Loving mothers need a break.  We believe taking a break and nurturing the parts of our lives that may have been pushed aside when we became caregivers makes us better mothers.

*Parenting is the hardest job in the world.

WHO ARE WE?
 
We are a group of intelligent, vibrant, diverse women who are open to all ideas, beliefs and experiences.  We are all unique, yet we all have mothering in common.  We believe loving mothers need a break.

WHAT ARE WE?
 
Mom's Time Out is a local organization for mothers seeking playgroups, meetings, childrens outings, a coffee group, play groups, friendship, a sense of connection with other mothers and for Utah mothers looking for groups and a community in which they feel at home.
