Meetup.com Mom's Group

Recently I was looking to meet other moms in this area, so I just googled "mom's groups in Fairfax" and found this awesome website! It is called meetup.com and seriously you can find a group for any and every interest imaginable! I found running groups, mom's groups, book clubs, etc. It is completely free and a very cool website. Anyone who just moved to a new area, or are just looking for other people to meet up with, I would definitely recommend it!

Anyways....one of the groups I joined is called Moms in Fairfax County and I have been to a few events now and have just had a great time! Sometimes we will meet for coffee and all park our strollers at the Starbucks in the mall (usually in the larger, open areas), or we will meet up somewhere for lunch. Last week we had a potluck brunch at one of the moms' houses and we had so much fun! Last week we also had "Mom Movie" day. It is such a good idea and if you are a mom reading this you should check into it! Once a month one of the local movie theatres does a "Mom Movie" day (I don't think that's the official name, but it is something similar). Basically, they just play a regular movie and pay a regular matinee price but it is all moms in the theatre. So, everyone brings their babies and parks the strollers outside the theatre. It is great because there usually is a baby or two crying, but it's not a big deal because everyone in the theatre has a baby! There were a ton of moms there and it was really nice to get to see a movie in the theatre too!

Here are a few pictures of the lunch we had earlier today. There actually were about 20 moms there, but I just got a picture of a few of us. Look at all the babies!


Next week we are doing "Mommy and Me Rollerskating" where we rollerskate and bring the strollers on the rink! This sounds like so much fun and I am sure I will have some funny pictures to post.
