Hello, My husband, daughter, and I are moving to the Atlanta area (Alpharetta) from Maryland. We have a 7 month old daughter and I will be working part time/SAHM part time. Are there any good mom meet up groups or activities (music/story hours/gymboree) that you would recommend? I am hoping to meet people especially other moms. Thanks in advance@
Hi there! I moved to the Atlanta area (Woodstock) from Maryland nearly 3 years ago and had a son last June. I moved from the DC metro area of Maryland (Germantown in Montgomery County). I feel differently about the traffic and compared to the DC area, it is great...with the except of the area immediately surrounding Atlanta. Overall, I love the area and find the people and pace of life to be preferable to DC/Metro Maryland.
As far as moms groups, I joined my local MOMS (Moms Offering Moms Support) Club and also found some good groups on Meetup.com. I also work so don't participate as much as I would like in the groups but there are a ton available. It seems like being a SAHM is more common in my area of Georgia than it was in my area of Maryland, probably because of cost of living differences.
I was born and raised in Maryland (Baltimore). I've lived here for almost 11 years. I have a 2yo, and a baby on the way.
I live on the southside, so no help to you. The Atlanta traffic is no joke. Rush hour starts at 3:30. The other day we left my MIL's (Norcross area), and it took us 3 hours to get home instead of one hour, in the HOV lane.
Before my daughter turned a year, we did story time at our local library. Then when she was 15 months old, we did Tiny Tunes. We both loved Tiny Tunes. The only reason we are stopping is b/c my daughter starts preschool in August.
We've also done gymnastics for one session. We will try it again, once we get used to going to preschool and having a new baby;)
Good luck with your move.

I too am looking for groups & things to do with her (& me!)
