Have you stepped on a Lego today? Do you have to clear bricks off your dining table every night before you can serve dinner? Do you find bricks in the wash? In between the couch cushions?

Let's bring them together for fun and friendship. This club is intended for younger Lego builders, ages 4-7 who don't have the opportunities for after-schoo …

Hello and welcome! I started this group in hopes that my children and I would meet and make lasting and genuine friendships through activities that we all can enjoy and will bring us closer together. From park play dates, crafts, Museums, Chuck E. Cheese, to Super Franks, Swa Ray and a whole lot more. What better way to experience these activities than with a group of other Moms and toddlers who enjoy them just as much. If this sounds like the perfect group for you then we hope you decide to joi …

Gifted children are cognitively advanced, but emotionally they are often at age level. I'm starting this group in order to give our children playmates who are on their level, or at least nearer to it. This group will be best suited to children under 11. My daughter is nearly 4 (in 4/11), so I'm particularly hoping for gifted children from 2-6 yrs of age. As this group grows we can, if it seems like a good idea, sort the kids into groups by age.

I am a new SAHM to a beautiful boy, Liam. My husband and I just moved back to the Bay Area from the OC a few weeks ago. During my time in SoCal, I made friends with a wonderful group of mommies through Meetup (if every you're a mom in the OC area, look up: OC Asian Moms).

Hi, I'm Jackie the owner of Stroller Strides of Santa Cruz and organizer of Plum Mom's Club. I have one Son Quinn who is 9 months old, who I adore!!  After I had Quinn I was amazed how much a person could get done with such little sleep!  However I didn't realize how much I needed the support of other moms.  We are all on the same team and can benefit so much from each other.  I also realized how important exercise is for us and our families.  So....

Hey, nothing wrong with what our parents did - they raised us and we turned out all right. But we have to prepare our kids for a world our parents never dreamed of. And to do that, we're going to have to bone up on some advanced leadership skills, some 21st Century parenting tricks of the trade.
