SAHM Looking for Playdates!

I am a SAHM of 3, one is in school and I have a 4 year old Daughter and 1.5 year old son, I love play dates, when I can get them, so if you would like I could meet you, I am in Utica, just north of Troy.

I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and live in Madison Heights. We'd love to get together sometime.

I also thought I'd mention that I teach muscial storytime classes part time. We hold classes in Lake Orion, Troy and Rochester Hills and our session starts next week. You can get more information at www.MusicalStorytime.com.

And contact me if you'd like to get together. One place we love to go is Giggle Beans in Lake Orion. It's a bit of a drive, but lots of fun!

Meetup.com has lists of Mom's groups for you to join. You can search by zip code to find one close to you. I've found it to be a great way to find other moms and kids!

Good luck!

When I was at home, I would take my son to Somerset Mall on Tuesday mornings for Story time. It starts at 10am at Pottery Barn Kids on the upper level across from the Food Court. It may not be a whole lot of adult conversation, but you get a little break while the salesperson reads the story, there are a bunch of other moms and if you attend I think 5 or 10 storytimes, you get a $10 off coupon for the store.

Hi E.,

I'm the coordinator of a mom's group that meets in Rochester. It may be a little far for you to drive, but you're welcome to come and join us anytime! We meet on Wednesday mornings, and our goal is to support each other as parents and enjoy each others' company, while giving our kids a chance to socialize as well. Read more on our webpage: www.oakarbor.org/community/momstots.html. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more information (____@____.com).

Hi I'm a SAHM of 3 and I live in Troy as well. I have a 3 1/2 boy, a 21 month girl and a 3 month baby girl. I am a member of a playgroup that organizes through www.playgroupsusa.com
Our group is called oaklandcounty moms and we have a calender that anyone can add an event too and the other members rsvp if they can go. There is something going on at least once a week and I myself host playdates often. My kids are getting over a cold right now (my husband works for R.O. Schools and if one of us get sick we all get it.) but as soon as they are better we will be hosting again. We love meeting new families so if you are interested I can email you when I'm hosting again or you can of course check out our playdate group.
Let me know and I look forward to possibly hearing from you,
K. D

HI E.,
our play group meets Thursday 10-12 (usually in the sterling hts area)... and most of our children are either nearly 1 or 2yrs (none older than 24 mos). So, if you are interested you can find more info at playgroupsusa.com and type in your zip code with the "radius" you're willing to travel. I can totally relate! -C.

Hi E.,
I am a SAHM also and it can be tough. Try looking for a Mom's club in troy. They always have a ton of things to do and other Mom's looking for the same thing you are. Having other Mom's to talk to has been essential in saving my sanity. If you aren't into the club idea then try your local library for a storytime and usually they have a kids section where the kids can play and read and meet people there.
As for things to do, I just read in the paper that they opened a Bounce U in troy. It's a moonbounce place. They usually have preschool playdays during the week and it's a great way to let the kids burn some energy. Your 1 year old probably can't jump yet but they usually have a few toys on the floor for the kids to play with and if she's walking she can go in the moonbounce and bounce with you.
Good Luck!

I have a 2 year old girl and a 9 month old boy
