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 …

Being a mom can be tough.  And it can be joy-filled.   And, without a doubt, being a mom is life-changing.  Some of us are just starting out as new moms, others are seasoned parents, and the rest of us fall somewhere in between.  We are moms who want to do more than just "get through these years".  We want to embrace them, revel in both their challenges and triumphs, and learn from them.  We want to grow... in our relationships with our children, with each other, and spiritually.  We want to sup …

This is a social group for mothers who stay home full-time or work part-time with one or more children in the communities of Elmhurst, Villa Park and Lombard. Our goals are to make new friends, to connect with other moms and their children, to support each other, and to have fun! We plan a wide variety of daytime activities every month for Moms to attend with their kids as well as one or more "moms only" evening events. Activities may include kids' outings, park days, recipe exchanges, and coffe …

This group was started so that women living in the Chicago Western suburbs (Elmhurst, Lombard, Oakbrook, etc) would have an avenue to meet new people, make new friends and also have a place to organize meetups, playgroups and outings. All women - singles, married (with or without kids) are welcome! This group is still very new but I hope that in time, it will grow into a vibrant community of good friends :)

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...   I don't know about you, but I am finding it very hard to meet any other moms... I would love to be able to know that I have a support group out there that I can talk to and hang out with... with or without the kids....

We are a community of new and expecting parents (okay, all moms so far...but dads would be welcome, too) who like to get together for our own socialization as well as that of our babies.  Life with a baby is fun and challenging; we are here to share the ups and downs together.  Our backgrounds and parenting styles are varied, and all are welcome.   Some of our past meetups include: story time at the library dinner coffee play time at the park stroller walk (outside or in the mall) There are wo …
