Let’s be frank, sometimes after you have a child, your existing friends can end up on a different wave length to you. You sit there pondering where and how can I meet other mums who get it, who live close by, and who have kids the same age?
We’ll let us introduce you to the amazing app that is MUSH. If you’re looking to be part of a local community, brighten up your mat leave, and have a chat with some other like-minded mums, then this is the app for you!
MUSH helps you to connect with other local mums in your area. The process is simple: create a profile, including a picture and the area you live in, your children’s genders and ages and a short bio.
You can then select categories of what type of catch-ups you would like, such as eating out or play dates. The app then matches you with other mums who are close by with similar interests, providing an extremely straightforward way to make new friends and organise platonic meet ups.
The MUSH App is free to download on Apple or Android device.
Using two Mac devices like an Ipad and your Iphone or an Apple Watch, this clever app helps to create a baby monitor and receiver.
