Hi! I am planning ahead here, I am 7 months pregnant with my first child and I am a professional seeking some support from other professionals moms. I have another friend who is interested as well. I am wondering what would be the best time for a group like this to get together. I am thinking that our weekends are so precious that we might be best off doing a weekday dinner or happy hour or something but am interested in your ideas. I don't think weekly is feasable but would really like to create a close group of individuals who are experiencing motherhood with a career in the mix!
Please let me know if this area is an area you could be a part of!
Thanks!
Thanks for the responses, ladies! I am going to figure out a day and place and keep you updated!!
M.,
I would be very interested! I live at Greenway and the 51. I think a HH or evening dinner would work best, because as you stated weekends are reserved for family time.
Count me in!!!
Hi M.,
I am a SAHM with two home businesses and I have been attending meeting with a group called, "Mommy Networking". They have branches all over, here in the East Valley and I know they have one up north where you are, in you're interested. It is a group of momms that get together once per month to network. If you are starting your own group, I think once per month is as frequent as most moms can meet.

Hi M.~
I'm in Mesa, but I commute to Phoenix and I am a Management & Budget Analyst. I would love to meet more working professional mothers who need a minute with "the girls" every now and then. I don't know how far into Scottsdale or N. Phoenix I could go, but I would love to be invited to see if it would work. Please keep me updated :0)

I would definitely be interested, I am 40 have a 10 month old son. I work 50 hours a week plus 90 minutes a day commuting my son to childcare. You are right that weekends are precious with your child, he's my world. I have to say evenings can be hard as well. I leave at 5:30 in the morning and get home at 6pm, feed him dinner, play, and he goes to bed at 8:15. If you are planning adults only and not children, then weekday dinner or happyhour would work.
Hi M., I own an insurance agency in gilbert. you may want to check out www.meetup.com. it's free to join, just need your email and a password. you can search your zip code for a local group or you can start your own! i think it's about $72 every 6 months but you can have as many as 3 groups. search "friends helping friends' and you can see my networking group on there as an example. it's an easy way to get members and keep in touch. let me know if you have questions or need help with it!
Hi M..
I am in Peoria (new to the area). I would love to be a part of a working moms group. I am a HR Professional and a mother of 2 beautiful boys (three if I include my husband). Keep me updated:-)

Hi M.,
I am a working mom of 4 in North Phoenix with a home based business. I would love to get together with you and other moms during the week for happy hour!
My husband travels during the week, so the weekends are family time.
I am at Shea and the 51...please include me in the plans!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi M.,
I do not know yet if this will be a group with which I will be able to participate, but I am initially interested. I am a 35 (near 36) year old new mother to a wonderful 7 week old, wife of 13 years, and live in the North West valley. I am also about to return to work and will be seeking supportive and like-minded peers.
Congratulations on your upcoming new addition! It is a wild ride! but the best one I've been on yet ;)
Blessings.
Jen
