A Mom's Playgroup with...shoes, wine, books and oh yeah babies.

I'm looking for a mom's playgroup that Jonathan and I can join. Inititally, I thought I would create the perfect group on my own and I actually began to. I called it The Real SAHM's (Stay at Home Moms) of Philadelphia. I thought it would be cute as it would be a spin off kind of playgroup based on my favorite reality show The Real Housewives of (you fill in the city)...well that lasted all of 2 days! I put an end to that whole idea when I started getting bombarded with requests to join the group that I had created on the ning network. I felt overwhelmed as I struggled to answer each individual email I received. Then it was the emails about when our first meeting would be and where and what we would do. Needless to say I put an end to that quickly and deleted the group. I am a business owner and entreprenuer at heart so to start my own playgroup made sense to me but seriously... am I crazy? Like I need one more thing on my plate to have to do. Plus, there are so many mom's groups out there I am bound to find one that I like where I don't have to do much more but show up and eat! Now the thing is with other groups is I am pretty particular in joining a bunch of ladies that I do not know. Afterall,  this is very much a social setting for myself not only for Jonathan. Jonathan is a mild baby who will get along with any baby so it's more about me finding the right fit for ME! For instance. I don't want a group of Mom's that are traditional in that they do all the typical mommy stuff that I don't like doing like cooking and cleaning and clipping coupons. Just ask Ish and he'll tell you I am not a Betty Crocker type of Mom whatsoever. Sometimes I don't even know how my kids and Ish eat! Luckily, for me he's Puerto Rican and in the PR culture a lot of the men cook. So he makes arroz y grandules y pollo (rice and beans and chicken) a few times a week. Not good for my waistline but I'd rather have him cook than for then me to make things like waffles for dinner. Cleaning is a whole other ball game. He's lucky if I do the dishes after he cooks (it's the least I can do I guess). Cleaning is not my forte' ...my house isn't dirty but it could use some tidying up. Hey.. I have a baby though and who has time? Anyway, back on topic...as I am looking for a play group to join I will be looking for Moms that like the things I like. Some of which are shopping for shoes (although I am financially challenged right now), reading books, drinking wine, wearing cute clothes and of course exercising. So in short I am looking for a Mom's Playgroup with...shoes, wine, books and oh yeah babies. To make my search easy I am researching groups online like Meetup.org and of course using the bing search engine. I'll report what I find later. Until then here are some pictures of  a few Mom's I would want to hang out with...
