mom looking for friends
I'm a 22 yr old mom looking for friends with kids in my area, boca
raton, fl. I just moved here and am very shy, so it's hard for me to make friends. I was hoping that might be there is someone here close to my age that has a baby close to my girl's age (16 mo) that would like to go to parks and whatnot with our kids. Here is a little bit about me: I work as a graphic designer at home. I am a vegetarian. Love animals and all wildlife. Listen to just about very kind of music. Mostly techno, industrial, rock (more like slipknot) I'm very open-mined and free spirited. Hobbies: Sewing, computers, sculpting, fish, play with my daughter, discovering new anime, and trying to get my husband to quit smoking (and me too), reading packages. Likes: Water, drinking Bawls Guarana, making things, fixing things, tadpoles, yoga, photos, sleeping in late, opening new packages/mail, cats ears paws and noses, costumes. Dislikes: Close-minded people, religion freaks, drugies, lobsters, accounting, cleaning, ticks. If anyone is interested please email me at Thank you |

mom looking for friends
Googlechat,
Misc.kids is an international news group, so the odds of finding someone right in your area with a child the same age may be pretty slim -- BUT I know what it's like to be a lonely and kinda shy mom. Rather than casting such a wide net for (probably) not many fish, you may want to try something along the following lines: * Is there a playground or park nearby that's convenient for you to walk/ play in with your daughter? Go there on a semi-regular basis and you're *bound* to start seeing some familiar faces? * If there's a natural foods store or food co-op in your area, that may be a good place to meet other vegetarian or veg-friendly parents. (Ours has a deli counter and a small seating area, so people do tend to "hang out" as well as just shopping.) * If you like to sew and sculpt, have you looked at any craft stores in your area (AC Moore, Michael's, etc.)? Many of them offer cheap or free classes in various crafty things -- and again, I imagine you might find some moms with similar interests there. * Is there a MOMS Club in your area? Try doing an internet search or checking the phone book. * Many public libraries offer story time even for babies and toddlers. Does yours? Ours does, and it's always (pardon the pun) crawling with regulars. Alternately, many chain bookstores have story times for kids, too. * If there's any kind of nature or wildlife education center in your area, check our what they offer in terms of family programs. (Or get into the habit of taking your daughter to the local zoo/ aquarium/ petting zoo.) I guess the theme is, get out there and do stuff that's both interesting to you *and* that you can do with your baby, and you'll probably end up meeting a few people that share your interests. -HB In article , says...
