Bronx/Lower Westchester Stay at Home Moms Group 
While we are a very diverse group of women, we have a few things in common: the love we have for our children, the desire to see our children experience happiness and reach their full potential, and the hope we have to form new friendships with other mothers. While the majority of our members are stay at home moms, several of our members work from home or are employed on a part time/full time basis outside of the home. The way our group runs is similar to the saying "It takes a village to raise a child." TOGETHER, our members organize activities and plan events that help meet the developmental needs of all of our children. Socialization activities: Playdates, park outings & holiday celebrations. Educational activities: Trips to the library & childrens` museums, arts & crafts activities. Character Building Activities: Community service events where our children participate. Motherhood comes with its fair share of challenges. Being a stay at home mom can be very stressful. Our group sponsors monthly Mom`s Night Out events as well as Couples Night Out events & Family Events on the weekends for all to enjoy. We hope you choose to join us on this amazing journey with our children. Visit the Bx/Lowerwestchester SAHM group or email

Miracle Playgroup
Specifically for New Moms in their late 30`s and up that have successfully conceived their babies through IVF. At "MIRACLE" Playgroup, clearly one of the best benefits is the feeling of belonging - but there are other benefits too and that`s making new friends and new life long friends for your babies.
Newcomers are commonly relieved and happy to find themselves in the company of so many others that have faced infertility. The feeling of being different starts to fade as new Moms share stories that are familiar. That in itself joins you with other people, even though you may not know them well.
Dates are listed on Essentialmom.com`s event pages. If you are interested in joining "MIRACLE" Playgroup, call or email Deb at 914.234.2540. miracleplaygroup@yahoo.com
