Hi. I just moved here from San Diego and am looking for fun moms with kids. I have a 1 yr old and 4 yr old, and we like to play outside (while we still can). I'm looking for a playgroup that meets once a week. We've tried meeting moms at playgounds, but no one is out..where is everyone???
Hi H.,
I am in a great moms group in Mchenry county but that isn't too close to you. I would suggest either googling moms group in Illinois or to try meetup.com and see if there is a group in your area. I don't know what I did before Mom-2-Mom and I know my sanity is better off.
good luck
A friend of mine used to belong to a lakeview Mom's group. I think you can google it. The other place is through the Barrington Newcomers and Neighbors group. They have a Mom's group that meets quite frequently.
Ha ha I have the same problem and I've lived in Illinois all my life. My experience with other moms have been difficult because I work full time and people are more introverted here than other places. Anyway, I've had success with www.meetup.com where you can find a mom's group in your area. Welcome to Illinois, but sorry to say the long cold winter ahead of us may make you homesick!
Hi H.,
I know exactly how you feel. I try to meet local moms, but nobody is ever around!
See if your local park district offers activities for your kids' ages, and if so, sign up! That way you can meet local moms, and the kids will have a great time :)
Good luck!
Hi H.,
Check our www.meetup.com. Welcome to the area!
try lincolnshire moms group on yahoo if not too far
hi H.- welcome! i moved out to this area from the city two years ago and had the same response. why are the parks so empty? that was where we used to go to meet people too. you might try the meetup groups...or if you have specific intersts (like a babywearing group or something). I guess we met a lot of our friends in the neighborhood and at preschool and park district classes. i have two boys, a 3 yr old and 20 months. let me know if there is anything i can help with.
A.
