Hi there,
I am moving from Houston to the Irving/Las Colinas area in January. I am unsure of what area we will live in. Any suggestions and meet up groups? I am a first time mom to Logan who is 7 1/2 months.

Thanks!

What can I do next?

Choose a home in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford area. If you live in Bedford, you get the advantage of the great HEB schools, but live close enough to Colleyville to use the amenities of the community. Also, Bedford is a quiet, family-friendly community that has some great parks and attractions. It's a quick drive on 114 to Los Colinas.

Hi K., Welcome to Irving. I've lived here for 8 1/2 years and have two kids 8 & 7. When mine were little, we used to go to "story time" at central library. My kids LOVED it and it was a great place to meet other parents with kids the same age. One of them started a play group with those of us from the library. I'm still friends with several.

Good luck!
L.

Hi, I live in Irving as well and have a group on cafemom.com for stay at home moms in the dallas/fort worth area. We try to hold play dates at least once a month, and would love to have you as a new addition. Hope you can join us soon. http://www.cafemom.com/group/DallasSAHM

Hi K.,

I am one of the founders of www.BurbMom.net for this very reason. I had a large online support community but it was all over the world. I wanted to find other people who were local to Dallas-Fort Worth. All of the people who write stories for Burb Mom are from DFW.

If you are looking for a moms group, here is a list we compiled: http://www.burbmom.net/moms-groups-dallas-fort-worth-metr...

If you are looking for some things to do with your child, here is a list of some of the local attractions we have written about: http://www.burbmom.net/family-activities-things-to-do-in-...

We try to publish new things related to North Texas about 3 times a day so there is usually something new to read.

So glad you are moving here. I have been here for 8 years and really love it. It is truly home. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions!

I don't know about where to live, but there is a meetup.com group in Colleyville that's great.
