We moved back to IL over a year ago and have not found a group of Moms' or children in our neighborhood; everyone is a touch older then myself and my kids. I would love a group to meet with and get to know!
Actually, I ended up going to Meetup.com and after one false alarm, found a wonderful Mom's group nearby in Naperville! Thanks for all the advice, Maggie
Hi,
You could try meetup.com, there is usually a small fee but the groups are usually very active too.
I also am the owner of a moms group if you are interested...the link is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WillCountyMoms/
Thanks!
Hello yahoo is a great way to find groups, as well as meetup. I am in bolingbrook and in a couple of groups. i just moved here a couple of months ago and have been on the search to meet others in the area.

Hello. I just started a early childhood music education center in Bolingbrook, Il. The Moms who enroll in our Music Together program experience lots of wonderful times with new forends and their children. Please feel free to attend a free demonstration with your little ones. This post was a while ago,,,,so not sure how old your children are now. I hope you will look into this opportunity to have some fun and meet some pretty nice and fun Moms. Here is the web address: www.CompassRoseMT.com
I'd also try www.meetup.com for sure!
Hi M.! I am the organizer of a playgroup but we are in South Plainfield/West Joliet. I organize through meetup.com. I know there are groups in your area so you may want to hop on that website and look for them. One I know of is called Busy Babies and Their Moms I believe. She runs the playgroup out of Bolingbrook.
Hi M., check Mothers and More - it's a great non-profit in the DuPage County area with playgroups. dupagemothersandmore.org
I have met a lot of really nice moms through Mothers & More of Dupage County. They have playgroups that meet during the day with kids (today's they are going to tour a firehouse in Lisle) and nighttime events for moms only. Once you're a member, you can attend whatever events you have time for. Since my kids are preschool age and I've gone back to work part-time, I usually only attend the group's book club meetings & holiday parties.
Here's the website:

Try www.pacesmoms.com I am still friends with the moms from our playgroup from 16 years ago!
Hi M.,
I belong to a moms group on downers grove.
It is through yahoo groups.
Check it out, I'm sure there are moms groups in your area.

Here is a link to the MOMs Club International. When we moved to back to LA (we are in Illinois now- again!), this group was a lifesaver for me. I really enjoyed the whole group for several years. I even sat on the board and became very active in the planning and implementing of group activities and fundraising events. Not only were there playgroups, but mom nights out and charitable work as well.
I am not sure if this is the correct location for you, but you can look on the MOMs club main webpage and hopefully one group will match up.
This is a tough time with kids. They are old enough to want to go out and do things, but it is hard to find groups. I really hope this works out for you! It was a lifesaver for me!
There is a moms club of Bolingbrook and we have play groups. However in order to join you need to live West of Weber. We had to divide because we got so big and then the East dismantled so if you live East of Weber you are out of luck with Moms Club unless you want to try and start it up again.
You can also look into things at the Bolingbrook Park District. There are a ton of music things, swim classes, mommy me classes. There is also a Fabulous library with storytimes etc. hope that helps pm me if you want more info!
Look at meetup.com, there are a ton of play groups in your area. Good luck.
