Whether you are new to the area, new to parenting, or a native, veteran mom like me, there's comfort in knowing a social scene and world of support is out there for both parents and kids! Let's face it, life isn't always easy on Cape Cod. Summer sure has its perks, but the winter can be a real drag especially when the snow, ice and winds start interfering with daily living. The daily grind--be it in the restaurant industry, trades or other occupations-- can make staying connected a challenge. You aren't alone if you find living on the Cape difficult at times. The Cape has some great support networks in place. Here's a few that come to mind.
