We are a community marketplace for rooms for rent and roommates in Southern California. For people seeking long-term, leasing, or short-term, month-to-mo …

Since becoming a mom, I have found it hard to meet new "momfriends". On top of being the only one of my friends who has children, I also moved across the country from NYC here to LA where I know no one! I have joined a few moms’ meetups and as great as they were for the children, I was looking for something more for myself. That is why I started this group. Momfriends is a place for us moms to build quality relationships with other women. If you have just moved to the area or if none of your cur …

I would like to start a playgroup for moms on the westside with preschool-age children (about 2-5 years old). I want to find a consistent morning during the week (not weekend) for a weekly meet-up, with the possibility of doing other outings/meet-ups on other days as things evolve. Going to parks, the beach, museums, and Mommy and Me classes are all things we could do.

I started this meetup over a year ago and haven't looked back since. I'm in my late 30's (gulp), and am SO not into the bar/club scene or crazy meetups with tons of people. I love board games (U.S.) and pop-culture trivia so I thought I'd start my own meetup group and host regular smaller-scaled game nights in my home. The smaller groups definitely make it easier and more fun in getting to know each other better. We get together once a month or so, play games ranging from DVD Trivia/Pop Culture …
