We are a group branching off from the Natural Mamas in Silver Spring Working Together Communally group, to create a similar community here in Alexandria. Right now, we are in the formation stage and will be planning a meetup for discussion and intention-setting. As a starting point, here is a relevant excerpt from the Silver Spring group's description: "This is for moms and dads who feel they and their child are missing out on something by being alone most of the time, and want more than just th …

I want to start a group for all the people out there who don't work full time whether they are a stay at home mom / dad, have visa restrictions (like me), are out of work, or just work part time. I hope to get like minded people together for some fun during the day when everyone else seems to busy at work to just hang out. So if you are looking for some daytime company, whether it be for a coffee, lunch or something more physical (walking, running, hiking the possibilities are endless) this is t …

Hi! I've decided to start this group to build a community for moms and dads who live in and around the District, and specifically who rely on the metro or other public transport to attend meetups. The aim is for babies, toddlers and young children to meet and have fun, the parents to share tips and experiences, and hopefully build new friendships all round! The group is open to working and stay at home parents in their 20s, 30s, and 40s as we all have something to offer! As this is a new group,  …

WELCOME! THIS MEETUP IS NOT A TYPICAL MOM'S GROUP ABOUT ALL THINGS BABIES.  IT HAS A DIFFERENT FOCUS.  PLEASE READ ON.. This is for stay-at-home/part-time moms and dads who feel they and their child are missing out on something by being alone most of the time, and want more than just the weekly playgroup, mom's group, or tot class. By "working together", I mean living your life doing meaningful work with other mothers, and your child being a part of it....rather than you and your child being alo …

I have realized that there are three types of meetup groups for women... SAHMs with kids ages 0-4, nightlife social groups, and working women. Those are great for those people. I am none of those. I am not a part of the "workforce", I'm not big on going out to clubs for drinks, and my kids are in school all day so playdate groups don't work for me. Most other groups are very topic specific. Again, great for what it is. But, what about those of us that just want to talk about anything and/or ever …

I just had a baby boy in June, and am continually alarmed with how fast he's growing. There are some days I look at him and could swear he grew an inch overnight. He grows out of clothes so fast, there are some things that have never even been used. I'm not fond of the idea of discarding perfectly good clothes, and I figured there are many parents out there who wold love to get together and get rid of the things they don't need anymore, knowing they will be used again. So! If you've g …
