Support groups are probably the best thing about social media sites. When I got pregnant with Emma almost 5 years ago, I immediately joined an online Mom’s group (Just Mommies). It started out as a “Due Date Club”, and progressed to a “playroom”. After only a couple years on the forum, us girls decided to take it to Facebook. Now, 5 years later, there are about 30 of us who chat on a daily basis. I personally have met up with 3 out of the 4 ladies who happen to live in Michigan. It has been the best experience, and has made parenting that much easier! These ladies have truly become my friends and my support system as a mom.
When I bought my Silhouette Cameo, I had a friend add to me to Facebook group for the Cameo. There are so many members in the group that you can post something at 3 am, and usually you get an immediate response from a number of people. It’s amazing! You would not believe how many times I’ve run into a cutting issue with my Cameo that was resolved quickly because of the advice I was able to get! They also swap files, post inspiring photos of their projects, and discuss other Cameo and Vinyl related subjects!
I have other groups that I’m a part of, too. There’s a couple for blogging, autism, and even a book club. I love how easy it is to get support in these groups, chat about related subjects, and ask questions, only to have them answered by real people who know what I’m going through or who have been through it themselves.
So, I’ve got all of these groups that I’m a part of, but there’s one thing missing.. I don’t have a group for baking!
I just started up a baking group on Facebook. It’s a place where you can ask baking related questions, share things you’ve made, troubleshoot, and get baking related support! My goal is to make it a place where you can come any time of day to ask questions, like when you’re in the middle of a recipe and run out of an ingredient, and need a substitute immediately! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to run to my computer to google something, only to find myself coming up empty. There have been so many times that I just wished I had a place to go for this! I don’t have time for forums anymore, but Facebook groups are easy! Anyone can join in, and I would be SO happy to have you come join, too! I made this an open group, so anyone can request to join, and once you’re in, you can add any of your friends!
I also started up a group Pinterest board. It’s specifically for recipes you have personally tried and found to be good! There are SO many spam recipes out there, or recipes that just turn out horrible. I’ve added lots of recipes that I’ve made, so you know they’re reliable! Please message me if you would like the ability to pin to this board!
