MOMS Club® of Apple Valley South is a group that supports full time and part time at home moms. We meet a few times a week during the day, when at home moms need support the most. All of our daytime activities are for moms and children. Some examples include: trips to the MN Zoo, open gym, playgroups, special tours, library storytime, member socials and a monthly Mom's Night Out when we get together without children at a local restaurant or home. Most of our events are free or low-cost. MOMS Clu …

Welcome! Our group started with the purpose of getting local moms with kids connected with each other with the goal of making new friends and exploring new places. We plan a huge variety of events that include play dates at homes, library story times, community events, state and local parks, and everything in between. We also manage to plan some moms' nights out without the kids for a chance talk without interruption! We are primarily a Moms group, however Dads looking for play dates with their …

Preserve Minneapolis is dedicated to improving the quality of life in Minneapolis by recognizing, preserving, and revitalizing the architectural and related cultural resources of the city of Minneapolis. We advocate, we explain, and we explore! On the odd months (think January, March, etc...) we host 'Happy Hour with a Preservationist', which are behind the scenes tours of hard to get into historic spaces. The cool thing is when we tour these places, many are undergoing or completing restoration …

I've been looking to join a book club for quite some time, but I never found one that appealed to me. After a lot of unproductive grumbling, I've decided to try starting one myself. Everyone's A Critic (EAC) is open to anyone who enjoys books and isn't shy about sharing their opinions about said books. I try to encourage a diverse reading selection, so please feel free to offer suggestions (fiction or nonfiction). Members usually send me suggestions and then we do a poll to pick a selection. …

Hello - My family & I just relocated to Minneapolis from Nashville. I am hoping this becomes a community of moms who reside in downtown Minneapolis, gathering to share the joys, trials and tribulations of our sweet little ones who made us first-time mommies in 2009! We are low-key, casual and looking for a place to connect with other moms, as well as provide an environment for our Tots & Babies to interact, learn and grow together. Our group gets together weekly for: In-home Playdates; Storytime …

I started this group because I'm tired of feeling awkward in other moms' groups where childloss is not understood.  I'm tired of grieving silently.  I'm tired of pretending I only have two children (instead of 3) in order to make others feel more comfortable. I'm tired of hiding my pain and putting a smile on my face. I'm tired of pretending like I'm a normal mom when I'm not: I'm a bereaved mom and nothing will ever be 'normal' again. Bereaved Mamas is a compassionate and healing group for ber …

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …
