Welcome Sarah!! I would recomend Scottsdale Healthcare campus's. Call them and find out when they have their Moms on the Move classes. I found great friends and got wonderful advice (different topics every week). I went with both my girls and still stay in contact with lots of them. My oldest is now 8.
BTW the classes were free so I would think they would still be.

Good luck!!

Many churches in the valley offer MOPS. It's a program for moms to connect with moms and discuss topics pertinent to parenting. Go to MOPs International and find a MOPS program near you!

Welcome to Arizona! It took me a little time to feel settled here myself, but now I just love it.

When we first moved here I joined a MOPS group at a local church and that was nice. I also went to the local public library's story times and met other moms there as well. It's great when your kids are old enough to go to school because you have a chance to make friends with the other moms.

Don't worry -- you'll find lots of opportunities to meet people -- especially in the winter months when the weather's so great and everyone's enjoying the outdoors.

Welcome to AZ! I am a single mom of 2, a 6 year old and 4 year old. I dont know many moms around here either and have lived here for years. So any information on groups would be great! Thanks!!! :)

I also recommend Baby Time/Story Time at the local libraries. I started taking our son when he was 6 months and we've been going for the last three years. We've made friends there and have gotten together for playdates. Go to www.phxlib.org to find libraries in your area.

You may try introducing yourself to moms in your neighborhood. I know it's was hard at first but soon you'll meet one mom and her child and she'll tell you about other famiies. Our son and I play in the front yard and say hi to neighbors as they go by and also when we go for walks or bike rides on our streets. We now have a group of mostly moms and we go out for "girls night out," host candle parties, a block party and block watch meeting once or twice a year.
