Two years ago, our ambitious friend and founder, Meghan, started this wonderful mom's group because she would "see other moms in Brookfield and the surrounding areas and want to stop and meet them all." Today, we are over 100 members strong and still growing!  Our calendar is packed with fun events almost daily (weekends & evenings, too).  Whether you are looking for park play dates, trips to the zoo, holiday themed parties, backyard play groups, a book club, exercise buddies, or mom and/or dad' …

We are a group of new moms looking to make mommy friends in the Oak Lawn area. Most of us started our families in 2010. This year, many of us are expanding our families with second babies. Our goal is to build a local network of moms so we can plan social activities for our children, our families and ourselves. The age range of the children in our group is  newborn to 4 years. We are looking to meet other moms with children in this same age range. If you are a new mom in Oak Lawn, and are lookin …

This is a group for Polish speaking moms and young children who want to meet and play together in a Polish speaking environment. As a mother of two young boys who will hopefully be bilingual (or trilingual) I would like them to make new friends who can speak not only English but also Polish. I am aware that kids learn best from other kids. That's why for those of you who have only one or two people speaking Polish to your children, getting to know other moms and children who can share the same l …

Let's get together for affordable activities in and around our neighborhood, like going to storytime at the library, having picnics at the park, and play dates in our homes. We can also have events for just the ladies, like moms night-out, movies, dinner… and anything else that looks like fun. This group is for moms with little ones under 5 years old.

I was looking to join a Moms group in hopes to spend (the little) time with my daughter while seeking support and relax socially with other women with kids. I kept running into daytime meetups and events, and specific descriptions of groups where I did not fit. The purpose of this group is to reach out to other everyday working moms with not-so-flexible schedules who need an outlet and do not have the luxury to call a babysitter when a break is much needed.

Hey mamas: where are the down-to-earth, socially-conscious, left-of-center, organic, environmentalist, breastfeeding, crafty, artistic, creative, or bookish moms of the Western Suburbs?! UNITE! We don't all agree or do things the same way; but, with this group, you can expect lively and fun conversation about health, nutrition, vaccinations, natural childbirth, co-sleeping, attachment parenting, cloth diapering, extended breastfeeding, education and even politics. "We think long and hard about t …

This group was created by a mom of two lovely kiddos under 2, living in Lombard and interested in meeting and connecting with other moms for fun outdoor and indoor activities with our children. This is an opportunity for us along with our little ones to socialize, go to parks, libraries, pools, museums and more. If you are a mom hoping to get out there and meet other moms in your area and for your little ones to meet other children their age then this group is for you! As much as nannies and sta …

You are on now on our Meetup site. This is our working site where we schedule trainings and take signups. We are a group of attorneys, who are (mostly) moms & solo practitioners who want to do pro bono work in a way that does not interfere with our family/work life.  We now have men, retirees, and 1/3 of our participants are solo practitioners. Our projects are: finite and won't hang over your head; have backup by working in teams so if there's an important client call or (gulp) sick kid, NO wo …

This group was created by a mom who left city life behind to tackle new adventures in suburbia.  And what a blessing!  HAMs has been a great resource for our beautiful children, and for ourselves as young mothers, connecting with ladies in similar life settings. We love venturing out to parks, pools, splash pads, the zoo, children's museum, rec centers, etc. as well as gathering for mom time to socialize without distraction. If you are looking for fun ways to entertain your little one and share …

There are currently around 5 million homes in foreclosure in the U.S. right now.  It is reasonable to expect that there will be at least 12 million more homes going into foreclosure within the next two years.  Because of these astronomical numbers, many people are scared of investing in real estate. However, this market creates the ideal situation for real estate investors.  Our philosophy is to respond to market trends, and pick investment strategies that work in today’s market.  Because so man …

Arguing with your kids? Put those refined skills to better use! We are a local group of attorneys, mostly moms, who have a simple mission -- bring more legal services to those in need by marshaling the talents of lawyers who have left full-time careers. We will choose legal-aid opportunities that work well for our schedules--short-term, we will team up so there is backup, and all trainings will be nearby (currently slated for the Downer's Grove Library). We will meet once, soon after school star …

Parents wanting to meet other parents. Get out for the night and socialize with other adults.

Don't believe all the hype you hear from the talking heads on the T.V. It's not all doom and gloom, there are areas all over the country that are still appreciating. Besides, an educated investor knows how to make money if the market is going up, down, or sideways. It all comes down to being educated. When former Fed. Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked what he thought the difference was between the wealthy and the middle class, his answer was very simple, "The right education!" and he wasn't tal …
