We’ve started this group for moms with questions about their food and where it comes from.  You’ll have the chance to meet family farmers and see what they do on their farms every day.  Likewise, farmers will get to know Chicagoland moms and learn what’s important to them as they make food choices for their families. We’re looking forward to some great conversations about food and families.

Our History Our group was founded in 2008 by a dedicated group of moms in La Grange Park looking to provide social activities for moms and their kids.

What's that? You have a bouncy new (or slightly less new) baby and your life no longer looks the same? The once rockstar existence of pre-baby has come to a screeching slow down and you've set aside (but never abandon) your pleather for pacifiers and late-nights out for late-nights in? Yeah, me too. Doubts, pressures and panic has wrapped up in the joy and excitement of a new baby and suddenly a lot of supportive non-baby-having friends have slowly drifted... I'm hoping to find new (and slightly …

I used to love going to the beach, bike riding, brunches, dinner parties, cocktail lounges, shopping, spa days, vacationing with friends, and networking. I want to be fabulous, socialize with my child, and create long lasting relationships with other mom's. My goal is to get a group of ladies together who love their children and also love having fun and experi …

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

This group is for parents of (or married to someone of) South Asian descent who would like to meet for play-dates and family activities. I started this group to get together with those who are interested in preserving language & culture, socializing, doing philanthropic projects that involve our kids, or just a great picnic.

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.
