Metrowest Older Moms Network

Hopkinton, MA

Metrowest Older Moms Network

Are you a "mature" mother of a pre-school child who wants to connect with other moms? Would you like to make new friends for yourself and find playmates for your kids? Then join us!

Did you come of age during the Cold War and scandals like the Iran Contra affair? Did you spend hours watching MTV when all it showed were 24-hour music videos? Did you play with a Rubik's Cube or try to clear the last level of Pac Man? Did you ever have the hallmark "big hair?" Do you remember the original Pop Rocks and the "New Coke?" Can you do all the "arm moves" for Y.M.C.A.? And did you truly get tired of hearing your doctor refer to you as a "mother of advanced maternal aged?" (I did!)

If yes... then...

You should join other like-minded moms for playdates, coffee, lunch, free activities at local libraries (like story time, music shows, magicians) and other kid-friendly activities. We plan Moms' Night Out once each month for some grown-up conversation. Our calendar is bursting with fun activities that include kid-friendly outings, playground playdates, and library events. We welcome all suggestions for activities.

Our group is designed primarily for stay-at-home mothers of children from newborns to kindergarten who are able to take part in daytime events, but working mothers are certainly welcome. We plan some weekend events to accommodate those who can't meet during the day.

We welcome diversity and differing opinions, and hope that we can cultivate a close-knit group of mothers connecting around their kids. Moms who share an interest in attachment parenting, breastfeeding, eating healthy and organic, co-sleeping, the "no-cry sleep solution," baby wearing, cloth diapering, green living, recycling, alternative or holistic medicine, or natural parenting are especially encouraged to join. But ALL are welcome!

Expectant mothers and stay-at-home dads welcome, too!

We hope this group can be a great source of support and friendship. If this sounds like a good fit for you and you live in the MetroWest Area or just beyond, we hope you decide to join us!


*This group has been listed as "private" in order to protect ourselves and our children from internet predators. We have a full calendar that is private until you join.

Westborough Girls' Night Out

Westborough, MA

Westborough Girls' Night Out

Welcome new friends!

Are you looking to expand your social circle by going out to dinner, meeting for cocktails, or seeing a movie?

Well, we're in search of other down-to-earth, sincere, classy women, with a positive outlook, who love to laugh, share stories, and have a good time. Please join us to meet other local women for fun and friendship.

All women welcome. All backgrounds. Married or single. With or without children. Working professional or stay-at-home-mom. MA native or new to town. (Sorry, guys, you'll have to find a "Men's Night Out" Meetup.)

Expand your circle of girlfriends who share your interests, by meeting and socializing with other fabulous women living in Westboro, Northboro, Southboro, Hopkinton, Marlboro, Hudson, Natick, Framingham, Ashland, Wayland, Worcester, etc.

Make new friends and explore new places. Go out and have some fun. We have a wide range of activities, and we're always looking for new places to visit and things to do. We love to try new restaurants, go to the movies, meet for cocktails, or just have a casual pizza night. We're up for trying everything from indoor rock climbing to wine tastings.

Our goal is to have at least one event each week on our calendar. Lately, we've often had three or four meetups to choose from. Most weeks, there is something on our calendar for everyone, with both weeknight and weekend events planned. But if nothing appeals to you, we're open to suggestions for Meetups that interest you. Feel free to share ideas for other activities on the message board. Or better yet, volunteer to run events that you would like to see. Are you a planner? Event Organizers wanted! <br> <br> If you're in search of a fun girls' night out and you live in Metrowest, this is your Meetup group. Our members are from Metrowest and all surrounding areas. Most of our events occur along the Route 9 corridor, between Framingham and Worcester, often in Westborough and the surrounding area. Occasionally, we head toward Boston.

Be on the lookout for lots of fun activities planned in the coming months. Check our calendar often to find something you love to do.

Thanks for checking out Westborough Girls' Night Out. A fun night out with the girls is only a click away. What are you waiting for? Come meet us and make new friends! Looking forward to meeting you in person!
