I am looking for a group that I can involve my 10 month in. She loves to be around other kids and I would like to meet other mothers in my area. If anyone knows of a local lexington group please let me know.
I know the Baby Moon on Richmond Rd. has a playgroup for babies on Friday's at 2pm. I've never gone as my little one is too small yet but I met some ladies at the LLL meeting I went to who go and they seemed to enjoy it. Here is the Baby Moon website: http://www.baby-moon.org/
Hi! I just joined the MOMS Club of Lexington (southeast chapter) last week, because I was looking for the same sort of outlet for my daughter and me. It seems like a wonderful group. The dues are $20 a year, but they will work with you on that if you need help. They meet twice a month as a big group at a particular location (in the southeast, it is at Crestwood Church), and then they have numerous other fun activities throughout the month. This month they have apple picking, pumpkin picking, a day at the Explorium children's museum, at day at Keeneland, park days, etc. They do service projects and help new moms with meals. ALL of these activites are optional. You can do as little or as much as you want. They also have several small playgroups that meet weekly at members' houses. I'm waiting to be placed in one of them based on my child's age, day of the week I can go, etc. Anyhow, everybody has been great so far. I actually bumped into three members at the park yesterday. I don't know where you live in Lexington, but I think there are two different clubs based on where you live.
Here is a link to the chapters:

The phone number to the southeast group is 1-800-728-6931. I'm sure they can help you. Like I said, I'm a stay-at-home mom too, and I joined for the same reasons you're looking for a group. I love it so far. Good luck! Let me know if you need anything else or have any questions.
One of the things that I found that my daughter liked was to go to the library and go to the reading group. There will kids there her age they sing songs and read a book. After that they give the kids a chance to interact with each other
I was in the sme situation, and I joined a gym, and I worked 1 day a week, for 3 hours, and I got my membership free. It provided my kids with play-time, and got me some adult interation, and after I got used to the place, I started working out for no charge!! I think it is a great deal for stay at home moms. Now, I actually work at a gym 3 days a week, and get paid!! I take my kids with me, 3 hours a shift, and I still get a free membership, and I earn a little extra spending money...it is great. If you want more info on the where's of these gyms, just let me know!! It really works great for my kids and I.
I also have a 10 month old daughter and am also looking for a playgroup! I live in Georgetown. Please e-mail me directly and let's see if we live close enough to get together.
Baby Moon on Richmond Road has baby playgroups. Also, each branch of the Fayette County Libraries have storytime/playgroups once a week. These are great places to meet moms and babies.
here's a website for mom's groups in lexington:

I've been in Georgetown town for 13 months now and have yet to actually find anything here...but lexington seems rife with oppotunity. Also, there are MANY churches that offer mom's groups and mom's day out programs.

Apparently there's also a recently started SAHM mom's group in lexington:

Let me know if you find anything satisfying! :)
I've found a couple of groups here in Lexington at www.meetup.com. You might check there. I love the storytimes at the public libraries, too.
I have recently started a playgroup in the Lexington Area. It has kids of all ages (4 weeks to 8 years!) It's fairly new, we first met in August with 4 moms and their toddlers and now the group has over 30 parents as members!
Check us out at www.playgroup.meetup.com/324
We have activities scheduled for weekdays and weekends to fit both stay at home moms and moms that work outside of the home. We are also starting Mom's Night Out activities as well to give us moms all a chance to get to know one another better without our kids.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
