Hi there and where is everyone located

topic posted Fri, February 3, 2006 - 10:01 PM by  Della
Hi Ladies! New to this tribe, it's so neat to find it too. I'm 21 and have a 3 year old son Adrian, was a SAH mom for the first two years, went back to work last year, just moved and am SAH again for now. Back home, when I first had Adrian I had other mom-friends and we did things together and co-opped and it was great. Then I married his dad, we moved to NC, I had (still having) a tough time adjusting (I lived overseas until 2004, so it's culture shock I guess). Still in NC but Elizabeth City now and I don't know anyone here. Having that support of other moms that are in your peer group makes such a difference. Anyways...so, I'm in Elizabeth City NC, how 'bout you?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the tribe and figured I would introduce myself. I'm 26 and have a 6 month old son. My husband is currently in Iraq, and like you Della, I just moved and don't know anyone either. I moved from alaska down here to south carolina so that I would have the support of my husbands' family while he is gone. But I don't know anyone but them and I'm a stay at home mom, with a few online businesses I'm trying to get going and so I don't get out and meet new people very much.

      Hi Melessia! I've been in that boat before. My husband is prior Marine Corps and we spent 2 years apart seeing each other for only 2 weeks at a time every 6 months. And when we moved back to the states the only people I knew for a long time were his parents and the people I worked with. I posted a thing on tribe asking if there were any other moms in the area that wanted to get together for a play date or maybe just a mom's night out once in a while. Although I didn't find any playdates, a belly dance instructor emailed me back saying that she had a lot of moms in her classes and invited me to try a class out. I ended up meeting a lot of great people.

        Hey ladies, I'm 27 and live in L.A. My daughter is 6 mos.

        Melessia, I used to live in AK... in Kenai. I loooved Alaska, not Kenai so much per se but it wasn't a very far drive (by alaska standards) to Anchorage and Homer. I miss it. I don't have many SAHM friends here in L.A. Pretty much all my friends are living the rock star life. Ah, those were the days!

          I did join a class to take with my son, its a music and play class, but it doesn't get started till april. I'm hoping to make some friends there. I have met one person so far down here, she was in the same boat I'm in, just moved, doesn't know anyone, and her daughter is 8 months. We are actually getting together for our second play date tomorrow. Its nice to finally meet someone, even if it was in the produce department of walmart. My husband was sceptical, but shes been really nice so . . .
  • Waiting for Kids In Saint Augustine

    Tue, April 4, 2006 - 2:52 PM
    I'm living in Saint Augstine, FL, but my home town is in Lehigh Acres. I love it here in Saint Augustine, but I will probably be moving away to Gerogia sometime within the next few years (depending on where the government will station my fiance). I spend most of the year here in Saint Augustine (September - June) and the rest back home with my in-laws and my grandfather.
    I'm looking to have kids very soon, it's been a dream of mine since I was a pre-teen! I'm also going to be a homemaker (finances allowing) and I am hoping to find other women with husbands/fiances in the military, dreaming of or already with children and who stay at home!
    I'd love to find someone who I can talk to, who can watch our kids (and me watch theirs) when we just need that alone time, who can become a part of my family as well as my most trusted friend. (Sounds like a lot to ask, though, doesn't it!)
    Well, I'll be around

    I'm a SAHM too. I have 3 boys, ages 15 months, 3, and 5. I live in Elizabeth City, NC. Just moved here last year from VA. Don't really have any friends. At least, none with children. Everyone I meet seems to have such a busy schedule. I don't really do much other than take care of the kids and normal everyday mom stuff! :) Pleased to find this site. Hope it will be very therapeutic for me in finding some women in my same "boat" so to speak. Women need other women and I'm excited to meet some other SAH moms!

      Hi Kelley !
      Maybe we could set up a play date sometime. I'm free during the day, and we don't usually have a bunch of scheduled activities or anything, so if you want to go to the park or something send me a message.

    Hi all! I'm new to the website and the tribe. I'm 24 and I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 2 month old son. I live in Loves Park, Illinois...about 2 hours west of Chicago. I'm a SAHM and have been since I got pregnant with my daughter in July 2003. It's really tough to make friends in this area since I don't have time to get out of the house...without the kids that is. My hubby works 3rd shift and goes to school full-time so I sometimes feel like a single mom. It's tough, but I'm hoping this tribe will find me meeting new friends :)

    Hey, I know this is an old post but I just joined and thought I would take advantage. I'm 26 and just moved to California with my husband - always wanted to be a stay at home mom, and am now looking forward to it. My daughter is still only 15 months old; I went back to work when she was six months and stopped nursing, so I didn't really miss out on that much time with her. I've always been a pretty active person, though, and am trying to work out some volunteer work offering free yoga classes to people in recovery from addictions. (just got my certificate before moving here)
    Looking forward to the communication and getting to know other moms!

    Hi beautiful ladies!
    I am new to this tribe and seem to be the only one from Australia! Are there any other lovely ladies from the land of Oz out there?
    I have a gorgeous 5 1/2 month old boy Joshua Pendragon who was the first baby born for the new year 2007 at royal brisbane hospital.
    He is a handful, and i am SAH by choice, but for some reason I LOVE IT!!! I wouldn't have it any other way, and dread the day that i may have to return to work due to finances.
    Good to meet all you fellow SAH mum's out there :)
