MN Moms - mom groups/playgroups?

[Tacocat]

Hi Ladies,

I know there are a few MN moms on here so thought I might find something. My DD is about 5 months and I was looking for a playgroup or mom group that we could go to together. I work full time but it seems like all the meet up groups meet during weekday hours. Even ECFE for my county only meets during daytime hours. Does anyone belong to a group that meets on the weekends? Or would you ladies want to start a play group? I don't have many friends that are also moms, so it would be nice to meet some in our area. Thanks

I found a Twin Cities one on Meetup. A lot were during the day but they would meet on weeknights and weekends as well. I think it was a SAHM group.

I have the same problem - I also work full time (I live in the south metro) and there isn't much offered after work hours! My girls are (almost) 6 and 2 1/2 years old.

My kids are the wrong age but the MN girls are always up for a drinkgroup.

Perfect!!

Are you still a member? I was looking at Meet-up and most of them are city specific. There is actually one for the city I live in, but they are all during the day for SAHM.

No, not anymore. The one I was part if decided to start charging people a fee to stay in the group, at which point I left. I didn't meet with them often enough to justify a fee. But that was just one group, there are others on Meetup. I think the one I joined was specific to my area of the Twin Cities.

I have to laugh-just popped open my email and there was a new meetup for moms in Apple Valley. I hadn't gotten any Meetup emails in a very long time!

How have I missed that @jillianashley is in MN? And Tacocat... I forgot that you are in MN, too.

DD is 3.5, so not really playdate age unless you're looking for someone to rule the roost. But I'm always up for getting out of the house sans kiddos.

My meetup group disbanded after a huge fight between the leaders.  Scandal!  It was right about the time I went back to work anyway.

Maybe it's time to plan a GTG? Is that something the MN ladies do? I'm always up for a day/night among adults
