In fact, when my kids were babies I had an exercise group that would keep hanging out long after our workout was over. We also would get together to can garden produce. Which you can't do until you have a garden, but my point is that if you have a "productive" purpose then maybe you can convince other moms to commit time to it, even if it's mostly for social purposes.Annette Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203545007134523554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060307917955932846.post-10585704591084232652015-10-22T14:30:54.167-07:002015-10-22T14:30:54.167-07:00She's old enough to play, though, right?

A play GROUP is when you say, "We're all spending the day hanging out with our kids, so let's all do that in the same place so we can chat." I started going to our ward's playgroup way before Summer could play with the other kids. Playgroups are really just moms socializing while their kids run around. I actually spent plenty of time at playgroup just holding or feeding Summer while I chatted with the other moms, because Summer wasn't into independent playing as a baby. But Rhonda is pretty independent, so she'd probably have fun cruising around someone's furniture and sucking on their toys or eating grass and Cheerios at the park.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038597347405251733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060307917955932846.post-30691708927050156212015-10-08T08:35:46.023-07:002015-10-08T08:35:46.023-07:00The issue is that my child isn't old enough to...The issue is that my child isn't old enough to play with other kids! I'm sure that when she gets older, it will be easier.
