Moving to a new country can be scary and very challenging for growing families. A new culture can open doors to a whole new world for children showing them a different way of life, and most rewarding of all, giving them the chance to learn a new language. If you are considering relocating to Banderas Bay, you might find it reassuring to read there are a number of moms groups for expats in Puerto Vallarta that can make your transition all the more smoother.
One moms group in particular that is dedicated to supporting moms in Puerto Vallarta is Mamas in PV.
Mamas in PV
A great resource available to expats in Puerto Vallarta as well as those who have yet to relocated is the Facebook group: Mamas in PV (https://www.facebook.com/groups/MamasInPV/). This moms group consists of over 2500 active moms from all over the world with one thing in common: a love of raising their family in the tropics. What can be expected when joining this Facebook group? #1 you must be a Mom! All ages are welcomed whether you are about to give birth or have kids entering university. The group started with a boom a couple years ago when 8 expecting Puerto Vallarta moms from Canada, US, and Mexico started to do weekly get togethers to overcome the loneliness that motherhood can bring, especially amongst expats in Puerto Vallarta away from their families.
Not only does this moms group offer support for expat moms in Puerto Vallarta but it also works to support local charities. For example, the group has had successful charity events bringing dozens of moms together to enjoy a riverside party and picnic; they have organized a beach bash and other events to raise money for charities.
One of their main charities is Pasitos de Luz , which supports a non-profit organization that provides care for disabled children from low-income families in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was founded more than fourteen years ago by a determined group of mothers who were desperate to have a place where their disabled children could receive decent levels care and attention. The most successful event so far organized by Momas in PV was Piñata de Luz: Mothers helping others! Mamas in PV were matched up with a mom who had a disabled child and made their Christmas wish list come true with two events that were a heart-warming success.
The group welcomes all expats in Puerto Vallarta as well as Mexican mothers, encouraging trade and gifting. Hand me downs are best. Mamas in PV is a great source to research schools, find a pediatrician, share fun mom content and the most importantly, make new friends! Never again will you have a hard time finding a play date in Puerto Vallarta. So, if you are a mom who is making a smart move to Puerto Vallarta to offer a wonderful lifestyle for your family, join the Mamas in PV group and start getting excited about relocating to Banderas Bay.
