Hi A.:
I joined a playgroup about 4 months ago and it's awesome! I found it through the Mommy & Me website. Go to the site (www.mommyandme.com) and it will direct you to a group near your area (you put in your zip code). It will then give the group's director's e-mail address. E-mail the director, let her know a little about yourself and she'll let you know where the group will meet next. We meet 2 times a week at various locations for the kids to play and the Moms can talk.
I am much like you, I am staying home for the first time ever and it's nice to get out of the house once in a while. I've made some really good friends with this group.
Good luck!
