Are you a single mom or pregnant and single? Join us as we share the joys and struggles of single motherhood! Single moms have to do it all -- we have to be both the mother AND the father, the nurturer and disciplinarian, teacher, friend and provider. Sometimes, it's hard not to look around at the couples with or without kids and feel like no one understands what you are going through. Sisters In Arms - Single Moms is a social/support networking community for "solo moms" to meet and form close c …

We come together at least once a month for fun and interactive workshops (for 8-13 year olds) where kids are in a safe, structured and nurturing environment and they can have some fun. Each workshop is led by a professional. We play games, and learn f …

As a Christian and a working mother of two little ones, I wanted to create a community of mothers who would form intimate relationships sharing our deepest struggles and joys of motherhood. I also wanted a community where our little ones would be able to forge lasting Christian friendships. I'm thinking of home playdates, outings to parks and zoos, moms night out, prayer meetings, Bible studies, potlucks, etc.

WE'VE MOVED!  See below. ------------------------- Hi Everyone, Thanks for checking out our single parents helping single parents group. Things have been slow to get going in this group on the Meetup site.  The consensus is that Meetup is not the right vehicle for a group of this nature.  Meetup is designed for specific events at specific times and is not a very good communication tool.  It does have a discussion board, but it is clunky and no one uses it. So we're moving. From now on the GO …
