Hi Everyone.
Since I moved to Beaverton from SE Portland, I haven't met too many people in the area. I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works 50-60 hours a week, so it starts to get a little lonely. Anyone want to meet up for a play date, or a mama's day out, or have any suggestions on how to meet people?

What can I do next?

I so understand where you're coming from. I have a 4-year-old son as well and a husband who works 12 hours a day. Here are couple of places I've turned to meet people.

MOMS Club--I belong to the one in Hillsboro, but I'm sure there's one in Beaverton, too.

Meetup.com--There are loads of parents groups to check out as well as meetups on other topic areas as well.

Hi, my name is Beth, I have a 4 month old son and live in SW Beaverton. My husband also works alot and our families live in another state, so I don't really have many people to be around either. But if you want to get together and maybe meet at a park or something on nice days let me know.

Hi,

I live in the Cedar Mill area, which is pretty much Beaverton and would be interested in some playdates. I work M,T, TH, Friday, but am free on Wednesdays. I have a 3 year old daughter, she is in school M-TH until 11:30 so afternoons work better for us. I could definately use some more "girl friends" as I feel like I am consumed by my family. I also have a 7 year old stepdaughter and an 8 week old son, so time alone or with friends is a rarity for me :)

I live in Hillsboro and I'm always looking for more playdates and people to get together with! I love meeting new moms and my son loves playing with other kids, especially older kids. Connor is 2. Let me know if you want to get together! :)

I'm really new here too. I live in Vancouver. I'm a stay at home mom of almost 3 year old twin girls. I'd love to connect with you sometime. Although you might feel Vancouver isn't as close as you'd like. K.

Hi! I'm C. and have a 5 1/2 year old. I live in the Cedar Mill area (a Portland address but practically Beaverton)and would love to get together for a playdate sometime. Kayley is in full time daycare/preschool but I can always sneak her out early, and weekends usually work for us as well. I'm always up for dinner at Papa's pizza, and as the days get longer, we have a huge yard and trampoline and live close to a park. Welcome to the area!

Hi G.! I live in Tualatin which isn't too far and I just started a playgroup on playgroups.com. If you put in zip code 97062 it should pop up as the weekend group for working parents (I am a single working mom and wanted to start one on the weekends.) I would love for some people to join so we can have a meeting, maybe on a Saturday morning or something? You might be looking for something more during the week, but if you're interested please sign up! Also, there are lots of other great groups on this website if mine doesn't suit your needs. Good Luck!
