Any Other Moms near Highland Park/North Dallas?

I am a working mom who just graduated from graduate school and got a job here in Dallas. Unfortunately most of our friends moved out of town when we graduated. I am looking for a playgroup for our 1 year old son and hopefully some camaraderie for myself also. Unfortunately my work hours are crazy (i.e. 60-80 hrs per week), but getting better each month.

One idea that I had was coffee and playtime at a local park or stroller rides on the katy trail.

Looking for others interested in a weekend playgroup (something working mother-friendly). Note: those of you working with kids at home is way more work than going to a job and you are welcome of course!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

2 other moms are interested so far... I think this a good start... so far we have two 1 year olds, a newborn and a 23 month old.

There are several early childhood PTAs in the area that cater to moms of children 0-5. It's a great way to meet other moms. These groups also have playgroups, mom's night out, monthly speakers, etc... and you can be as involved as you like - a little or a lot.
I've been a member of the North Dallas group (ndecpta.com), but I know there's a Preston Hollow group and a Park Cities group (University Park I think if you google it.)

I don't live in your area but meetup.com really is a great place to find a play group. I've joined several groups from that site and they have all been great. I highly recomend it!! :-)

Hi T.,

I'm in your area. I'm not working now but I had a demanding job that required a lot of my time. I have a newborn and 23 month old and would love to meet with other moms in the area. I miss the adult interaction. Email me at ____@____.com if you would like to meetup.

Not in your area either...but you might want to check out http://www.metroplexbaby.com/ If you click on the "metromoms events" tab you will see the events they are hosting. It is a great way to meet other moms...I was in your situation when my Daughter was born and this is how I made most of my mom friends. They have all sorts of stuff and maybe something will fit your schedule. They also have a newsletter you can subscribe to that tells what is going on here in dallas and they have lots of give-aways.

Look for a preschool association for your area. Your local public school should be able to direct you. There are 3 in HPISD: Armstrong Bradfield Preschool Asso., Hyer PA, UPPA. It's a great way to meet moms in your area!

I live in Lake Highlands and am also looking for a playgroup for my 15 month old. Like you, I'm a working mother with a demanding job. I moved to Dallas from Ft. Worth a few years ago and have had a hard time meeting working mothers in the area. Feel free to email me if you’re interested in meeting up and maybe we can get a group started. ____@____.com

Hi T., I live in University Park and know that the Hyer Preschool Association is very active (my kids are now much older). I'm sure the other elementary preschool associations in HPISD are comparable. If you know which elementary your child will eventually attend, go to the website for that school's preschool association for details. Good luck!
