I'm a working mom with a full-time job. I live and work in West Bloomington. I've just moved here from Colorado last year and had hard time to meet other moms with kids. My mom's helping me out with my children(a 2-y-old girl and a 4-mth-old boy) while I'm at work, so my 2-yr-old daughter doesn't even have friends. I'm wondering if anyone's interested in meeting other working moms on holidays or weekends. I'd love any opportunities to network with other working moms. Thank you.
I'd be interested as well. Should somebody set a time, date and location and we can set something up?
Looking forward,
M.
I think it would be great to get together for a play group or something. Today is my first day back at work (I have a 3 month old).
Have you tried joining an ECFE class? It's Early Childhood Family Education and there is a New Parent Connection class you can sign up for. I am not sure if they have one in the evenings or on the weekend. I am going to one on Friday mornings. It is great because you can talk to other Moms and Dads about your questions and challenges while developing new relationships at the same time.
Feel free to e-mail me if you would like to get together or something.
Hi J., I'm a working mom of twin girls who are 21 months. I'd be interested in connecting sometime if you'd like. I live in South Minneapolis so I'm pretty close to you. You can email me if you'd like to get together sometime. My email addy is ____@____.com
Hi J..
My name is B. and I live in Eagan. I work 3 days a week. My 20 month old daughter goes to daycare two days a week and her grandparents take turns watching her on the other day of the week.
One thing that a friend of mine does with her 20 month old twins is JW Tumbles in the Galleria. I was thinking about joining her. The classes are on Saturday mornings. This would be a great way for you daughter to socialize with others her age and burn some energy.
I have heard it is hard to move into this town and meet people.
Email me if you would like.
A little about me. I work 3 days a week as a dental assistant in Eagan. I'm married and we have a wonderful 20 month old daughter, Megan.
Hi there! MN can be a tough state to move into so I feel for you. Have you tried www.momsclub.org? This website can provide you with a contact name in your area to join a 'club' of moms with small kids in your neighborhood. Most of these moms are stay-at-home moms...but you can at least get on their mailing list and get their monthly newsletter with lots of ideas to do and maybe learn some people's names with kids that live nearby. Many times there are social activities where you can still somehow hook up even though you work as well. Also, there's another really neat organization out there called Mother's Connection...www.mothersconnection.info. This link should bring you right there, though it wasn't quite working right for me today for some reason. If you have problems, looks like you can contact Leslie at ____@____.com too. Same thing, they have a monthly newsletter...but this group opens you up to other moms both working and non-working and they offer a wider variety of things to do and resources. Lastly, many of the local churches usually have various kid-friendly things to do as well and get you connected with your neighborhood.
I live in West Bloomington as well, and work in Eden Prairie. All of my friends are still childless. I would love to meet some other working moms.
I have a son, Joseph, who is 3 years old, and I am a single parent.
If you are interested in talking more you can contact me at this email.

We have a 2 1/2yr. old daughter and are like you, looking for friends for her to play with. We also live in West Bloomington. Please email and we could see if it will work to get together.
Hi! I would love to get together! None of my good/close friends have children yet, so I'm in that stage where I don't get to spend time with other moms, either! I'm 27, live in Lakeville, and am the mother of a 8 1/2 mos old daughter, Ava. I'm totally willing to drive up to Bloomington or meet somewhere. I tried to get involved in a mom's group here in Lakeville last summer when I was on maternity leave, but they never called me back! I work part time as a CPA- so this time of year is really busy for me- but I would love to meet you! My email address is: ____@____.com ###-###-####. Maybe we'll have to start our own little mom's group. Talk soon! C.
Hi! I am on a MinnesotaMoms playgroup. We have quite a few working moms that do wekend only playgroups. We would love for you to join our group.
