This group is for anyone with kids 0-5, looking to get together on Fridays from 10 to 12 to make friends and have fun! We'll switch up locations but having the set routine will let our kids develop real friendships and a sense of community they don't automatically have until they go to school. We also have periodic home meetups that members can schedule for days/times that work for them, and there is no commitment to hosting one if you attend one. This group is for parents that want to try to co …

It is exhausting, overwhelming, and often isolating. I hope we can share resources and support, and have a little fun while we're at it. Feel free to e-mail m …
