Women from all over the state contribute to VTmommies.com, which calls itself “The voice of Vermont moms.” Founded two years ago by South Burlington’s Melissa Reyes, the site covers everything from relationships to health to shoes. Now there’s a live show. VT Mommies writers and readers are getting out for VT Mommies Adult Story Time, inspired by “The Moth.” Participants will share prepared essays about the first time they really felt like parents. “We’re excited to get together, laugh — and complain,” says organizer Amber Leventry. Check the website for future grown-up “playdates”; Reyes says VT Mommies will be partnering with local businesses to offer biweekly group classes this fall.
VT Mommies Adult Story Time: Tuesday, May 14, 6:30-9 p.m., at Phoenix Books in Essex. Free. RSVP and sign up to read at vtmommies.com.
