Hi All,

I have recently joined a playgroup that said they would meet on weekends and but so far they have all been on weekdays and I still get invited to all the fun places but since it is during the week I can never go. I run a very small daycare during the day and my hubby takes our only car to work so Saturdays would be perfect for me. I have a 3.5yr old son that is ALL boy and needs friends his age and be able to express all his pent up energy. I also have a 5mo. old son but he doesnt need lots of friends quite yet...lol Since we moved out here a year ago I have not really met anyone that I can bond with and I really need some girl friends that understand what its like being busy with kids but also would like to take a break once in a while and go shopping and get coffee. I live off of Val Vista and Germann. You can also email me at ____@____.com...Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure if Queen Creek is too far for you, but I'm in a playgroup called "Friendly Families of QC" on Meetup.com. We do things on weekends, there is a park playdate this Saturday, a family BBQ on a Saturday in a couple weeks and we usually do mom's night outs on weekends every so often. It is a relatively new group (but a lot of us have known each other for a while through another group) and we have only had a few meetups so far, but it is always fun! There are also some weekday evening events too if you can make those.

Hi T.,
I have moved 7 times in the last 10 1/2 years and all over the US. I always go through the same thing trying to find friends for me and my kids. It takes about 2 years after we move to get acquainted with the area and find friends. It's been about 4 years now and I've found some really great friends and believe me I'm not moving out of the area. Girl friends are SUPER important! It's therapeutic talking to friends about kid and husband issues. You realize your not the only one going through the different issues. I just wanted to let you know that it may take some time but you will definitely find friends. Sounds like your more outgoing so it won't take as long as me.
