I dont know if there is a moms group in Phoenix. I would like a group where you get together and talk about kids, or yourselves or maybe share tips on keeping up with yourself like beauty tips and shopping deals. I think woman are hard to find as friends now adays. Woman use to stick together and support one another. I just find "friends" who never come through and are so wrapped up in theirselves that I really just want to get a group of woman together down to earth woman who can socialize and maybe help one another. Wouldnt it be nice to call up a friend who would come through for you if you needed????
Well I apprecciate everyones input. I checked out 2 places and I dont pay fees for friendships. So I feel we should all (who are interested) make a date that works with evryone and have a "Bag lunch in the Park day" to meet. Then the kids can play and the gals can chat.We can plan monthly get together, share parenting tips, beauty tips, go walking together I have memberhip at the zoo and can invite people to go on me. And if anyone has teenage girls who like to baby sit 4 or more kids we can pay them very well for maybe a ladies night out(I dont drink) but enjoy going to a place where adults are. My husband and I have not been out alone but once in 3 years.
Hi J.,
I work only part-time and my youngest daughter is 4. I would love to help you organize a Mom's group as most of my friends have older children. I live in the N.W. Valley, send me a note and we'll get this going!!!
Try the MOMS Club. I have meet some really great woman. Go to Momsclub.org to find a chapter in your area. Are you new to Phoenix? What part of the valley do you live in? I live in Ahwatukee. I have a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son.
E mail me if you would like to talk.

Hi J.,
I am a 40year old SAHM with a one year old. I also work from home for my husband's cabinet business as well as my own home-based business. What area of the valley are you located in?
Dear J.,
Go to www.MOPS.org There you can find a MOPS group close to you. MOP stands for Mothers of Preschoolers for mothers with children birth through Kindergarten. During MOPS meetings there is childcare available while mommies meet other moms and have speakers on topics just like you are craving in your life and women who will stand by and support you during those trying times. -like potty training. I have been involved in MOPS for 6 yrs and LOVE IT!
MOPS literally saved my life by showing me what to do to transform my life. Now, Life is Dazzling and will never go back to the person I was.
Please check it out. It is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Hi J.,
There are several Moms groups on Phoenix. A big one is MOMS Club. You can go to www.momsclub.org to find a local chapter. There are so many of them in the PHX area. There is also MOPS which is usually held at a church and meets twice a month. Again you can find a local group at www.mops.org. I belong to both groups and they are both great places to meet and connect with other moms. Good luck!
Hi J.,
I am part of Moms club and its a great group of women and a pretty active club! I joined after moving here and not knowing anyone and made a few great friends! The website is momsclub.org you can look on there and find a chapter near you!
Hi J.-
I agree 100% about what you have said. I am a stay at home mom who lives in the area of the 51 and Bethany Home. I have a 19 month old son and would love someone for him to play with. If you are interested we can set up a play date at a park or some where.
I am 26 and a stay at home mom of one.
There are a number of moms groups in the Phoenix area. Here is a link to the MOMS Club of Phoenix - Arcadia
http://www.geocities.com/arcadiamclub/ that you might want to check out. (I'm not sure if you live in their boundaries - if not, there are other groups and I expect that they could direct you accordingly.)Good luck!
I would be interested.. I have a two and a half year old and your right it is so hard. I work full time but my days off are always wide open and always looking for something to do with my daughter. I live in the camelback and 32nd street area. let me know...
Hey J., welcome to the valley! I think you're doing a great job reaching out & finding resources to encourage you in your walk in life. I personally love my church's mom's of destiny group. We meet once a month for a free dinner, free childcare & we get a teaching/training as well as some chat time & prayer time afterward. If you're interested come check it out at Living Word Bible Church in Mesa, AZ. NWC of ValVista/Brown Rd. You can read details/schedule on the church website or link to:

Hope to see ya there! D.
J.,
please let me know if you get something together. I have been in laveen two years and if it wasnt for my daycare parents, I wouldnt have any female friends here. This is very different for me. We are from Northern California and have an extensive group of friends there. You might also try arizonamoms.com and hipmamas.com

I was just saying to someone the other day how difficult it is to find friends when you are a grown up.
I would love a "moms group" or "support group" or even just a "girls night out group".
I find that if I can schedule an activity with a friend by calling it a "group", then it gets put on my calender, I follow through with going and I love it! If it is "just geting together with a friend" we women get so busy with our lives that we don't follow through.
I would love to meet sometime and see if we have something in common.
I think there are a lot of women who are just plain lonely, especially if you are a stay at home type. It can be very isolating. I live 7 houses from a great little park. My daughter and I walk there daily and I promise you not once have I met another mom in my neighborhood there with their child.
If I go to a bigger park, there are often othr groups of moms there aready and tey are not welcoming to new-comers. It is like high school cliques all over again.
Anyway, I digress...th point is I feel like you. I'm in Glendale (55th Avenue, north of Peoria)if that is anywhere close, I would love to try and get together with you and whoever might like to try to form a moms club.
