I hope to plan weekend indoor and outdoor activites... with the kids, without the kids... suggestions are appreciated, as I can only really think of the "normal" activites... picnic playdates, coffee, zoo gatherings, Moms night out...

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.
