Two years ago, our ambitious friend and founder, Meghan, started this wonderful mom's group because she would "see other moms in Brookfield and the surrounding areas and want to stop and meet them all." Today, we are over 100 members strong and still growing!  Our calendar is packed with fun events almost daily (weekends & evenings, too).  Whether you are looking for park play dates, trips to the zoo, holiday themed parties, backyard play groups, a book club, exercise buddies, or mom and/or dad' …

If you are a mom hoping to get out there and meet other moms in your area and for your little ones to meet other children their age then this group is for you! As much as nannies and sta …

This group was created by a mom who left city life behind to tackle new adventures in suburbia.  And what a blessing!  HAMs has been a great resource for our beautiful children, and for ourselves as young mothers, connecting with ladies in similar life settings.

This is a group for Polish speaking moms and young children who want to meet and play together in a Polish speaking environment.

That's why for those of you who have only one or two people speaking Polish to your children, getting to know other moms and children who can share the same l …

Looking to meet up with other daughters in the Chicago area that have lost their mothers to a terminal illness such as cancer. There are many bereavement groups in Chicago for people that are grieving over their mom's death but almost none exist for women in their 20's, 30's, and early 40's. I just lost my mom to pancreatic cancer and want to gather other women like me that want to share experiences, memories, and friendship. Park Ridge, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Schaumburg, and Chicago are a …

That said, moms are welcome, too! Members are more than welcome to suggest new activities, so let's get this group rolling!

There are currently around 5 million homes in foreclosure in the U.S. right now.  It is reasonable to expect that there will be at least 12 million more homes going into foreclosure within the next two years.  Because of these astronomical numbers, many people are scared of investing in real estate.

Don't believe all the hype you hear from the talking heads on the T.V. It's not all doom and gloom, there are areas all over the country that are still appreciating. Besides, an educated investor knows how to make money if the market is going up, down, or sideways. It all comes down to being educated. When former Fed. Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked what he thought the difference was between the wealthy and the middle class, his answer was very simple, "The right education!" and he wasn't tal …
