I started this group in Brooklyn. Really, I started this group in Brooklyn during a record-setting winter. The people who were sequestered to warmed bars and patios due to the severe weather turned out to be fair scrabble players and quality drinkers. Soon, our meetings became regular. We were studying up, playing 2 and 3 letter blocking words and calling bulls--t on each other almost every week. I, and others, made some of the best friends we'd made to date. I decided to try GD|PS here in LA an …

Ahhh, the 20s. Beautiful. You're maybe in school, maybe working, maybe just trying to find what you wanna do with your life. But seriously, it really doesn't matter what you are doing, what really matters is whether you're LIVING! The fact is, most of us go through life looking for the next best thing: a better job, a nicer car, a better school, more money, blah blah. Before we know it, we're married, with 3 kids, a mortgage payment, and a couple college savings funds (if we are lucky). Then we …

Since becoming a mom, I have found it hard to meet new "momfriends". On top of being the only one of my friends who has children, I also moved across the country from NYC here to LA where I know no one! I have joined a few moms’ meetups and as great as they were for the children, I was looking for something more for myself. That is why I started this group. Momfriends is a place for us moms to build quality relationships with other women. If you have just moved to the area or if none of your cur …
