Mothers Groups - Brisbane's Northside??

Hello, how is everyone?!

I am (soon to be) a first time mum and looking for, or would like to start, a Mother's Group on the Brissy's North. Our bub is due late September, and I would love to get to know other Mums and Mums-To-Be nearby for coffee, idle chit chat and play time for the kiddies!

My DH and I have recently moved back to Brisbane, and are new to the Bracken Ridge area.

If anyone knows of a group, or if other ladies are in the same boat, I would love to hear from you!

Thank you!!

Hi Lucinda,
I am just about to move to Bald Hills in the next two weeks. I have to leave my mothers groups behind so it would be great to meet some more people.
:)

Hi Lucinda

I'm in North Lakes and due in late December so I would be interested in joining in early 2008 ........

i just moved back to bris well almost bris - im at murrumba downs

Once I am settled in, I am happy to have everyone around (although it may be a bit boring for a two year old). Otherwise, we can find a nice park.

Wonderful!
We move into our house in 2 weeks also, so a park would probably suit best at first til we get the boxes unpacked (not fun in third trimester!)
I won't have a bub to bring along just yet (due late Sep), but it would be nice to start meeting anyway.
What nice parks are close by to all of us?

hi,

i've been looking for a mother's group myself. we live at cashmere, next to strathpine and i have a 9mths old son. u r all most welcome to come to our place for mother's group. only thing is that i'm only free on fris. hope it's ok for all of u.

btw i'm 8 weeks pregnant too. hooray!!

Pine Rivers Park at Bald Hills alwasy seems quite popular (lots of play equipment) or we can meet at the Redcliffe Lagoon once the weather starts warming up ..........

Meltoby - congrats on the good news!! You must be over the moon!!
And thanks for the offer to hold Mum's Groups at your place. I'm happy with that, or the park at Bald Hills. Both sound like a great plan. What does everyone else think? We'll take a virtual vote ;)

Tonydayl, would you want to pop along even before bubs is born?

we could always meet at pine rivers park at bald hills for a couple of weeks till everyone is comfortable with one another before meeting at my place or anyone's place. what do u think? i will be free from mid sept onwards as i have relatives visiting from overseas who will be staying with us for a month. can't wait to meet.

I'm happy with either location. My best days will be Mon, Tues & Thurs morning as I will be working the other days. (or sats/sun). I could meet the occasional Friday but only about once a month.

OK, Pine Rivers Park it is!

I'm available pretty much any day during the week as I'm not working at the moment, but mornings would suit me best.

Meltoby, are there any other days besides friday that you're free?

hi lucinda,

unfortunately i work mons to weds and on thurs ben and i attend another playgroup. well if everyone is free on thurs then what i will do is attend every alternate thurs. mornings or afternoons are good for ben and i. :)

Ooooh lucky I peeked in here!! I'm at Burpengary, so looks like we're all fairly close together!

I'm happy with any day other than Wednesday if I may join in here :) BTW I have a bad habit of forgetting to check threads cos I forget where I've posted... PMSL... but I can be emailed...hehe. I look forward to meeting some new mums n bubs soon!!!!

Hi guys,
I am starting a parents group (dads very welcome too) and so far have a few people. It is on Tuesday afternoons and is in Strathpine/Bald Hills. We go to either the park or the Coffee Club or can go to my house as I have lots of toys. It is small at the moment and would definitely welcome a few more people. The bubs are from newborn to about 7 months at this stage.
Please post if you are interested!

To Krysalyss,

That sounds good. My email address is brian_schmidt@bigpond.com I am free Monday Tuesday and Wednesdays so if you can email me the details of the next get together I would love to come along.

Thanks
Brooke

Great! I will do. Will probably email out on Monday so everyone can decide where they want to meet. Will be lovely to meet you and your little boy. :)

Hi Krysalyss,

Just wondering how you are going with the plans for tomorrow?

Hi Brooke! Oh I knew I forgot one email when I group emailed but I didnt pick it from my address book because of your email addy. Definitely going ahead for tomorrow - 2pm at the Coffee Club, Gympie Rd, Strathpine (across from Westfield). Let me know if you can make it as I will be booking a table.
Hope you can come!

That will be good. See you there.

Fantastic...see you then!

Hi, Thanks for the info. WIll definitely be interested in meeting, but dont have a bub yet....! Should be up for the new year, if noone thinks my bub will be to young to join?
Email mlberry@fastmail.com.au, keep me posted with your meetings, that would be great.

I have added you to the group email so you can keep posted. But you are very welcome to come before your bub arrives as well. We have some real young bubs in the group - only a few weeks old!
The more the merrier!
