I decided to start a group to help other Christian moms in the area come together & build relationships centered around Christ. I want this to be a safe place where we can be open and honest about struggles and life so that we can grow together. Between school schedules, nap times & housework it's not easy to find time to make real friendships, even though we need them desperately in order to grow as mothers and wives and as Christians. We have so much to learn from each other and so we welcome …

Hi I am a part time working mom looking for some play dates for my 10 month old daughter. I have tried other meetup groups, but can NEVER make their meeting because they are during the day when I work. I am looking to meetup with some mom or dads at Stage Coach Park in Carlsbad or reading time classes at Dove Library. My husband and I rearranged our working schedules so one of us is home with our daughter. We would love to meet some families with young kids in the Carlsbad/ La Costa/Encinitas …

We started this group originally in the North County area of San Diego and want to grow it to all of SD plus South Orange County as well to change the stigma of homeschooling just a little bit.  I have met many parents who feel they have to fit into the typical mold of what society thinks a homeschooler is.  Times have changed and a lot of people are finding out just how cool homeschooling their kids can be and have fun doing it.  Some of the amazing families who wanted this group started are tr …

Wouldn't it be great to be part of a caring, supportive community of single moms just like you in coastal San Diego North County? Divorced, widowed or never married, we are all women facing the common challenge of parenting on our own. We may share custody of our children with their father, but it's different now - we are making all the decisions for our household without the support of a partner. Maybe you have some questions about how to deal with situations that are unique to single parents, …

I am a working mother of 3 boys and my husband is a stay-at-home dad. In today's economic times, I am sure there are many families like ours, trying to figure out how to adapt to this "role reversal". Because I was unable to find a group for our family, I decided to start my own. I would like this group to be one where we can all get together as families, as well as have moms night outs and dad only events (can we say wings & beer?). Most events will be in the evening and on weekends.  We look f …

Do you believe in the power of intent, in pray, in meditation, in the power of attraction. Do you believe marriages and parenting is rough work. Do you believe there is a lot of discontent, struggle, and strife in too many marriages and relationships today. Does this burden your heart to want to do something about it. I am a single dad who happily struggled through two marriages to try and create family. I have the family but it did not turn out as I had hoped. I see how my mistakes have caused …

"Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance.

Although most of the material covered in our resources is gear …
