Meet with other mom's, babies, and toddlers who live in the Bucktown/Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village area and are interested in a local playgroup, meeting other mom's in the neighborhood, and scheduling fun things for the babies (and mom's and dad's) to do.

We are a Chicago resource community for moms, dads and families passionate about conscious parenting, holistic health and sustainable living. We create events and projects to bring people together, educate, have fun and build lasting memories! We also have a new group called NATURE BABES: Inspired by being Earth lovers ourselves and reading the book "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv, we have come to the conclusion: WE WANT TO GET OUTSIDE!  All year round; and not just to the playgrou …

Join now to meet other parents like you! Please upload a picture to your profile before submitting your membership request for the security of our members.

After a short break, we will again accept new member applications. However, to maintain the intimacy that makes our group what it is, we are not planning to accept an abundance of new members. We mean this in the nicest way possible, and if you feel you would be actively engaged in PLOP, then we do want to meet you. When you complete your profile to apply to the group, please put some effort into it so that we see how much you care. If you find that the group is closed when you try to apply, che …

Creatively Caring provides opportunities for families to get involved in hands-on community service projects that help people, animals, and the environment.  Families with children of all ages are encouraged to participate in our projects.  By taking an active part in community service, our youth develop self-confidence and cultivate a greater sense of responsibility, tolerance and empathy for others.  When we plant these values as seeds in our children, they grow with our children and eventuall …

My friends and I decided to start a new group to find other happily married couples with kids to hang out with. We enjoy spending time with our significant others and are looking for other couples with similar interests. We will be planning some events to include kids and some without our kids. Events may include potluck dinners, afterwork get-togethers for drinks, game nights, wii sports tournaments, wine tastings, bowling, etc. We will organize and host many events but also encourage all membe …

Two years ago, our ambitious friend and founder, Meghan, started this wonderful mom's group because she would "see other moms in Brookfield and the surrounding areas and want to stop and meet them all." Today, we are over 100 members strong and still growing!  Our calendar is packed with fun events almost daily (weekends & evenings, too).  Whether you are looking for park play dates, trips to the zoo, holiday themed parties, backyard play groups, a book club, exercise buddies, or mom and/or dad' …

This group was created by a mom who left city life behind to tackle new adventures in suburbia.  And what a blessing!  HAMs has been a great resource for our beautiful children, and for ourselves as young mothers, connecting with ladies in similar life settings. We love venturing out to parks, pools, splash pads, the zoo, children's museum, rec centers, etc. as well as gathering for mom time to socialize without distraction. If you are looking for fun ways to entertain your little one and share …

I'm a new mom in Edgewater who would like to meet other first-time moms and dads in the area. I'd like to get together, not only to share our experiences with parenting, but also to simply enjoy time with others. I know that life can be crazy right now, but I think a group like this has the potential to help all of us maintain just a little bit of sanity.

We started this group to get parents and kids out of the house and having fun! Lets go to our many local parks and play until the street lights come on. We want our kids to play the old school games that we grew up loving, games like red rover, kick ball, home free, freeze tag and street hockey. Lets get out and have fun. Everyone is welcome to join; moms, dads, single parents, working parents, or SAHM's. We'll plan meet-up's during the day, evening and weekends so that there are opportunities f …

Hi all! My name is Emily, and my husband Scott & I have a 7-month old daughter. I started this group in the hopes of connecting with other folks with young kids and babies, making some friends for our baby girl and for ourselves as we don't know very many other young folks with babies or toddlers in the 'burbs! Parents--both moms and dads--are welcome!  Jewish couples, interfaith couples--all welcome!  We will start with some playdates and outings, and add things like Shabbat get-togethers or ju …

The Wauconda Area Play Group is a wonderful way to meet other families in the area. While most of our members are moms & their kids, dads are welcome to join too! Parents can socialize with other parents while the kids play together. We are open to moms, dads and kids of any ages. I will be posting many different events such as park outings, story time, play dates, moms night out and more. I hope we can make some lasting friendships for both the mommies and the kids.

Parents wanting to meet other parents. Get out for the night and socialize with other adults.

This is a group for anyone interested in meeting up with other toddler age parents and children in Andersonville.

Remember those college and post-college days when you always seemed to be surrounded by friends? What happened to that? Friends with Kids is a group for adults who are looking for friends ... and we all happen to be parents (including parents-to-be, adoptive parents, and foster parents). Sometimes we bring the kids along, sometimes we leave them behind for an all-adult evening. We're creating an in-person community dedicated to being there for one another and talking about real stuff (not just t …

Are you new to the area? Or just looking for some time with adults? Join me in exploring what our neighborhood has to offer, and even some 'field trips' around Chicago! I would love to find individuals like myself to explore museums, parks, lunch dates, and the occasional night out! We live car free and love walking everywhere or taking the bus (although we do take cabs once and awhile :)  Looking forward to meeting you!

This group is for dads and their kids in the Wheaton area to get together for play time, walks, museum visits, to commiserate, you get the gist. I've started it on behalf of my brother, who is a full-time stay at home dad with a 2 and a half year old little girl, since there didn't seem to be any local dad groups, but tons of mom groups. That said, moms are welcome, too! Members are more than welcome to suggest new activities, so let's get this group rolling!
