Mom Away From Mom

Mom Away From Mom Hi, I'm Julie! Your UMO Mom Away From Mom! Hi, I'm Julie, and I am your Mom Away From Mom! I am here to help!

When my oldest went off to college, there were several times I wished I had known a local mom (parent/guardian) who could make a quick delivery or otherwise check in with my student. Two times that stand out to me were their birthday and when they were a bit under the weather. Living in Orono now, I am offering this service to the parents/guardians of the students at UMaine campus here in town! I

know how hard it can be to be far away from our students, and a birthday treat delivery or a sick care package delivery from a local mom can help us feel more connected in these moments. If you have a need for a Mom Away From Mom for your student, please message me!

Hello MAFM Family, Friends, and Fans!

I am back from Hiatus with an ANNOUNCEMENT.

Mom Away From Mom will be taking the rest of FALL SEMESTER OFF. I have two graduating seniors this year and on top of my other job and responsibilities, I simply don’t have the time in my schedule this semester.

Thank you all for all your understanding and support!! These past two years delivering to your students have been awesome!!!

I will make an update for the SPRING SEMESTER over winter break.

That said, here are two recommendations you can check out in my absence:

Melissa Plourde (on the parent and moms and dads pages) - she makes gift baskets for specific occasions,
and
Amy, a local home baker, located over at https://www.facebook.com/share/19mMJ9thrr/?mibextid=wwXIfrongkel

I was able to squeeze in a delivery before my hiatus and this was a fun one!! As I was walking away after the delivery, another student walked in behind the birthday girl and said to her “my mom sent me one of those mom deliveries for my birhday last year!” 😂🥰

There is nothing harder than your student needing emergency services and you’re too many hours away to be able to be here!! I am so thankful I was available to shop last minute for these *comfort from mom* items for this student’s home coming from the er.
Sending so much love and lots of wishes for a restful night for everyone!! 💙🩵🤍
