I started this group of moms with young kids for activities and sharing. Get togethers like BBQs, Shared Babysitting (weekends), Dinner/Cocktail Parties, Dancing, Boating/Beach Outings (bring the boys ;-), etc. - The activities are up to the members of course.
I hope to arrange two activities per month plus shared babysitting on weekends and other shared costs like combining our buying power to get discounts in local activities (if possible) like movies, Splash at the Boro, Monster Joes, etc. Some activities will be just the mom's (adult conversation!) and sometimes the kids and our fellas. For example, I'd like to dress up my husband in a big black cowboy hat and boots and learn the 2-step. Maybe others would too. It's so much easier to get out with our husbands or boyfriends when its not breaking the bank, so shared sitters on weekends should help and learning the 2-step by yourself is not much fun...!
I'd like to enlist a few people to start this group with me. I could use the help coming up with fun and helpful activities for working families like us. I'd like to start socializing more and so would my kids ;-), my daughter is 6 years old and my son is almost 2 years old. I moved here 4 years ago but having young kids and work etc, it's been hard to get out much to meet and get together. I'd like to change that! A Mom's work is never done. Hopefully we can help each other.
The interests-questionnaire will help make sure we are doing the activities that we like.
