Apparently it's hard for me to meet good people in Jax. I have been living here for 4 months and I have tried a couple of groups I met up with through Yahoo groups, but none of them seem to work out. I either can't meet up with them at the times they schedule events or I don't like going to a group that is so large I have to meet new people everytime I go. I know there has to be someone out there near my age with a child or children my childrens age that want to get together for park dates and become friends with.
Here is a little more about me and my kids. We are fun people, we try not to be too serious all the time, we like to play and have fun. We like to take walks if the weather is nice. I am a plus size mother and I want to become more active with my kids. They are 2 year old twin boys that are very active and are shy at first but enjoy playing with other kids. I just want to start building friendships here so I don't miss the friends I moved away from so much. I live near Hodges and Atlantic if that helps on deciding if you would like to meet. Hope to hear from someone soon! =)

What can I do next?

Hi C.,

I lived here over 3 years and really hadn't met a lot of people that I was close friends with. I started doing Candle parties again about a year ago and have met some really fantastic people and made some very close friendships in the meantime. My day job (at least for now) requires almost 50 hours per week, so I love going to parties and meeting new people, playing games and talking about something I love...candles.

Please don't think I'm trying to pressure you into having a party or anything like that. I just wanted to let you know something that has worked for me to help me meet people and get out of the house for fun (not to mention make some extra money & support my "wax habit"...haha). However, if you ever do want to have a party, go to one with me, or want more information about doing what I do, just ask (I'm SO not into high-pressure!). I'd love to have you go with me sometime.

If you aren't into candles, I do know a number of women in the area who do other types of parties and think there is something out there for everyone to enjoy. It's definitely a great way to meet other people in the area & they are usually a lot of fun.

Hi C., I moved to Jacksonville in 2005 from my home town where all my family and friends were. It was hard for me to make friends too. I tried some yahoo playgroups and had some bad expeiences. So I could use meeting some new people (especially with kids my son's age).I ended up going back to work this year. I am a preschool teacher at our church's preschool. I only work until 1. My son is very active also (after he gets to know people). He will be 2 at the end of this month. I also keep another little boy that will be 2 at the end of Feb. But I will not keep him anymore after he turns 2 (he will go to daycare fulltime with his sister). I especially need friends around when my husband travels. We live off Girvin (which is next to Home Depot on Atlantic). So if you would like to chat or meet, let me know.
