I decided to start this group because there is a lack of support for parents whose grown kids move back in with them, frequently with their own kids. I call it a Catch 22 situation. There is so much happiness and so much sadness and frustration. My daughter moved back in with me July of 2008, pregnant. She was 21. Now she is almost 23 and she has 2 children. She has recently started going to school and I am so proud of her for that.  She doesn't work, with good reason now. I love my daughter an …

This is a new group looking for regular moms and their kids who want to go on the occasional low-key outing, meet new people, and have a safe, friendly environment for their kids to interact with other children. I started this group after trying to find an existing moms group without a "theme." I'm not new age, I'm not an urban mom, not a green mom. I'm just a regular mom with a baby girl and we need others to interact with. Anyone who'd like to hang out, schedule some play-dates, go to the zoo, …

We are moms of children with cancer. We offer support to each other in a way most will never understand. Share ideas like what to do for fun with a low ANC. We will share resources, information, and even how to let those 'left out siblings' know we love them too! Let's plan meetups with our kids where bald (and everything else) is beautiful. We also need to plan meetups just for us when the strain of giving meds, going to clinic, and those lovely steroid tantrums try to get the better of us. Let …

We are a group of women who've come together to make friends for ourselves and our families. We schedule playdates for our kids, outings for our families, and moms' nights as well. We meet at private homes, libraries, malls, parks, and other public venues.  We also meet up at museums, the zoo, the aviary, science center and the conservatory as well!  The privacy and security of our members is of utmost importance, and we have rules and procedures in place to ensure that there is no unauthorized …

Mothers of McCandless (M.O.M) is an opportunity to meet fellow local moms and their children for socializing and support. Whether it's an afternoon playdate or mom's night out, M.O.M will offer a chance to make some new friends (for you and your kids). With so many great kid-friendly locations in our area, there will be no shortage of fun places to meet-up. In an effort to include as many MOMs as possible (working or at-home), we will offer a variety of dates and times to hopefully suit every …

Meet other local moms and dads of twins, triplets, quads, quints and more to discuss the joys and hardships of raising multiples and to let our children enjoy play dates.  We will have play dates at least weekly & will have Mom's and Dad's Nights Outs intermittently.

In Mothers & More, we are committed to creating a place for mothers to feel a part of a larger community of women who are experiencing the challenges that all mothers face, not only in raising children but also in fulfilling their sense of self and self-worth. We believe this begins with a sense of belonging, a space where women feel safe among friends, where they are able to utilize their gifts and celebrate their uniqueness; where they can truly be themselves. If you are you a mom in need of a …

… And, of course, we will discuss our kids, too! We want to know more about you and your venture.  We don't sell to or recruit fellow members--we provide a safe haven away from all that.  Let's take each other's businesses out to our own networks and help each other thrive. We encourage you to visit The Founding Moms to read more about mom entrepreneurs everywhere. See you soon!

This is a small group whose goal is to build lasting friendships with other women in their late 20's-30's. Some of the activities are geared towards women only, while others are for children, family, and spouse/significant other. The number of members is kept low so that everyone has a chance to really get to know each other. I have been a member of groups that have over 200 members, and it was frustrating because I never really connected with people, they were just too big. Some of the events i …

I started this group to make friends and compare notes about menopause with other women in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. I'm 51, married, no kids, solidly middle class and interested in healthy living, cooking, cats, books, and tech/computers. I'm looking for other similarly-minded ladies my age who want to meet a few times a month to commiserate, work on coping strategies, and support each other through all the trials and joys of mid-life but especially those related the "The Change". HRT, wei …

… My wife, friends, and neighbor kids come to me to help them understand how to use a SLR. I discovered many people have been upgrading to SLRs now that they are well under $1000 for excellent camera kits. So I thought I would see if others would be interested in learning about using there cameras to the fullest extent.   So if you are excited about your new camera but confused about its capabilities and want to just get out and have fun and learn a little, this group is for you. The groups meetin …
