Since I'm the first of my social circle to even be thinking about kids, I feel like I will be needing to make some mommy friends soon. XD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816551 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:05:38 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1816551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: no advice...but I'm a GTA-ish bee! There's a bunch of us around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816527 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 17:45:08 +0000 stiletto_mom 1816527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the Pink and Blue heads up. I'll look into it. I'm not intimidated by anyone, so that's not a huge issue for me. I already felt HB was pretty much the best though, but I feel that local connections are pretty limited. I like to be prepared (still NTNP atm) so not quite a mom or mom-to-be. I like to lurk before contributing LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816183 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 14:09:37 +0000 .twist. 1816183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: It's debatable these days! JK (kinda).</p> <p> For the most part I think the site and it's members make it much more sophisticated than a lot of other mommy groups on the nets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816094 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:26:51 +0000 woodentulip 1816094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Oh I can only imagine the drama over vaccinations! I saw one about rear facing that was too much for me! I am more interested in showing our &lt;3 and support and not about arguing every point to death! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816092 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:23:35 +0000 Freckles 1816092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: LOL! My friend warned me about that but i barely go on it. I hear they are a little...intense. Apparently there was some big drama over vaccinations (surprise, surprise). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816082 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:12:12 +0000 woodentulip 1816082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That Pink &amp; Blue group was too intimidating for me! I was on it for all of about 30 seconds before I dropped out. Too much drama! Nothing compares to the 'Bee! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816080 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:10:29 +0000 Freckles 1816080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Is it the HB site or its members that make it sophisticated? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816041 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:53:53 +0000 .twist. 1816041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't found anything active or quite as sophisticated as HB. The closest I've come to a really active board (and I haven't searched in probably a year) was Baby Centre. Which I find to be one and the same as The Nest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816030 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:49:13 +0000 Freckles 1816030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a Facebook Pink &amp; Blue group that is specific to moms in the GTA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1816001 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:39:14 +0000 stiletto_mom 1816001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you type in the search box to find your local group? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1815977 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:33:28 +0000 sslm 1815977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you looked for a Facebook group for local moms? When I was in Ottawa there was one with thousands of members and you can ask any questions you want. I also made a ton of great friends through that. I'm actually still a member even though we've moved away :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specifically-canadian-online-communitiesresources#post-1815946 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:20:26 +0000 stiletto_mom 1815946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone. I've been on Weddingbee and now Hellobee for a while (and plan to stay). I love the bee but I want to connect with and talk with other local moms, moms-to-be, or women ttc etc. </p> <p>For Canadian bees out there, (specifically Ontarians or Torontonians), what other communities, forums, or resources do you frequent? </p> <p>I'm looking for something with a decently large population, med-high activity. Nothing will ever compare to the bee, but I'm just overwhelmed with Googling and am looking for Canadian recommendations. </p>
