Seeking Moms in Cherokee County

You are certainly not old! But you are funny. I would love to get together with you. I am not far from Holly Springs (I live in Canton) and am in my 30's with two children who are 13 and 1. I was born and raised in Southern California and just moved here to GA from Maine a year ago. I've had a hard time finding friends and would love to make some as well. Feel free to email me at ____@____.com and we'll see about setting up a play date or something. Hope to hear from you soon!

E.,
I am 41 and have a seven year old. I moved here in 1988 from upstate NY and still have the same problem meeting people. I just moved to Marietta in September and really don't know anyone yet. I have signed my son up for baseball this spring so hopefully that may open a few doors. I have also voluntered for a project with my sons school.
I can't even find kids for my son to play with.

Hi E.,

You are not OLD!!! I have a feeling you'll find many people to respond that want to hang out with you.

Sorry to say I can't help you too much on the social front since I live in Alpharetta (wish you lived here, I'd introduce you to many people...I'm 42 yo).

On the other hand, my good friend is a sign language interpreter and has been one for a long time. She may be a good person to know for networking and learning. She is a sweetheart, lives in Alpharetta, has 2 girls (one about 7 yo, other about 8 yo, I think).

Email me if you'd like to get her contact info.

By the way, my husband and I moved here from Los Angeles 9 years ago and love it here (we have 2 kids, 6 yo boy and 9 yo girl). Give it a little while, you'll love it here.

One suggestion, if you can get a babysitter, try joining a tennis league...you'll meet tons of people of all ages with all ages of kids.

My best,
L.

Hi from a fellow SoCaler! I moved here from LA (raised in OC) 10 years ago and trying to get back to CA...I live in Johns Creek, so unfortunately I can't get our kids together.
I'm a member of my local MOMS Club-when I joined a few years ago, we were a big club. We're struggling now, but I still have a few good friends from it. Check out www.MOMSclub.org for your chapter. I've also met moms through my oldest son's pre-school and through his other activities like The Little Gym (I've heard Gymboree is good for meeting other moms, too). He's also in a Mother's Morning Out program at our church, so there are a lot of moms there. My neighborhood also has a playgroup that gets together every week. Good luck! ~S.

I know what you mean.:-) I'm 40 and have been married almost 8 years and have a daughter that is 2 and son that is 4. I work 40 hours a week and work close to downtown but I'm off on Fridays if you want to set up a group. You can email me at ____@____.com

You are hilarious! Most of my friends are in their late 30s and early 40s, I was beginning to think that I'm odd for being younger. I'm 32 and a mother of an awesome 4 1/2 year old girl. Still, if you want, (if I'm not too young) we could meet up and get our kids together and see if we work out... (I could even bring some "old" friends with me.) I moved here in 1992 from southern California.

I took sign language for a while and would love to get back into it. I have a funny/notsofunny story about that...

Hello. I'm old too. I know how you feel. I have a 7 year old, but am remarrying in two months and we are hoping to get pregnant right away. So, God willing, I will also, be in your situation. I am currently in the Woodstock area and always have room for more friends.

Dear E., I know how you feel. I am a first time Mom and I'm almost 38. I have one son who is 15 months. Just a side note. I took a sign language course a few years ago. I don't remember a lot. But I am teaching a few things to my son to help us communicate. Small world. Welcome to Georgia! I also went on a business trip with my husband in 2001 to San Diego---loved it! So a few things in common. I live in Canton. Let me know if interested.

I too am an older Mom, having just turned 40. I've only been a mom for just over three months to a beautiful little 13 month old girl adopted from China. We live in Canton and would love to find a play group close to us. We've only lived in Canton for a couple of years so we're fairly new here too, as well this being my first post. Would love to hear from you.

Hi E.! My name is also E. (but go by B.) and I'm also 43 and moved to Georgia 4 years ago and have a 3 1/2 year old! Due to a male fertility issue I had to go through 4 IVF's to have my gorgeous son and I'm trying to decide whether to go for another but worried now about my age although I feel so YOUNG! Oh darn, I just realized you live in Cherokee County, I live in Fulton, wonder how far we are from each other? I hang out with a lot of Mom's in mid to late 30's w/kids my age and love it! You are welcome to join us! E-mail me back, B.

Welcome to the fabulous 40's club...I too am 43, the mother two young boy's (almost 4 and 6), three teens my girls are 15 & 17), and a 20 yr old. I was raised in Orange County (City of Orange) and have been living here for the past ten years. We love it here, but I often miss the fond memories and friends I've left behind in CA and silly things like JACK in the box! Oh, to have one here...hmm, yum!

I don't live in Cherokee Co. but I am a stone throw away from the county line in Kennesaw (575 off exit 4).

If you and/or any of the other gals want to gather, select a meeting place, time and count me in!

You can email me direct at ____@____.com

Some of my Hobbies/Interests: Board Games, Socials, Church, Crafting, Sports...too many to name but these are my Top 5.

Hey E.,
This is B. (deaffmommie) on many of the lists I follow... :o) I LOVE it that you want to help the Deaf/deaf/HoH community. We NEED more interps!

Some info about me. I am 44 yrs old and I have one in college, who will be 24 yrs old Tuesday and a 12 yr old who is in 6th grade... and I want MORE! I hope to adopt from China as soon as I finish school. and the rules change again to allow single adoptions.

So, being late deafened has thrown me out of the "loop" unless folks are really patient with my deafness... I am looking for more new friends as most of my old ones fell away because of the hearing loss...

Where are you located in Georgia. I am just north of Atlanta.

Hope to hear from you soon. Welcome to the South!

The club is split up into two division North and South Woodstock...since you live in Holly Springs I'm not which you would belong too. Why don't you email me at ____@____.com and I can get more info to you.

It's an amazing organizing full of other moms that have lots of info about the area and activities for the kids and preschool info...etc.
