We're in Cranston. Just me, the DH and the bambina (6.5 months). I know a couple of people on this forum from other 'activities' and I ONCE made it to playgroup but haven't gotten my act together to go back.

You must live really close to me. I'm about a mile around the block (well, as around the block as you can get for our area) from the Sterling post office and the playground.

Hi Leslie and Joanna!

I'm a SAHM to dd1 who is 6 and dd2 who is 2.

Hi - We are in Tiverton, RI. There is me, DH, DS Sam 2 and DD Anika tbd but any day now! We go to the RI PVD playgroup very frequently - I'm the one who shows up in my husband's pajamas because I am too cheap to buy maternity clothes.

We live in Providence. Dh and I and ds#1 age 5, ds #2, age 2 and soon another one....hopefully very soon

I'm a sahm for now. Really enjoy the alternative medicine, homebirth/ natural birth, environmentally friendly and healthy foods aspects of natural family living. Also enjoy all the support for breastfeeding, babywearing and co sleeping which we practice as well.
we do the playgroup here and love it for all the great conversations and support for the natural parenting approach!
We've been in RI for almost 5 years now and for the most part really like it.

Hello!
I live in Providence, near Wayland Square. I have one son, Dylan, almost 3. I know some of the mdc mamas from the PVD playgroup and ICAN. I grew up in Plymouth, MA, but moved to Rhode Island (Warwick, then Providence) from San Diego about 2 years ago.

I'm in Warwick, RI over by CCRI. I'm a single mom to three daughters, ages (next week) 9, 4 1/2, and 18months. I grew up in RI and moved away for a few years and we've been back now for almost 3 years. Great place to grow up!!!! Can't wait for consistent good weather so we can hit the beach and playgroups.

Hello!

I'm Angela, and I live on the west side of Providence with my DD, Ocean, who will be 1 next month(!?!), and my DP, Jack. We're both grad students at Brown, working on dissertations, teaching, and parenting. We're also a queer family, and have been really thrilled about awesome and welcoming the MDC playgroup (and MDC in general) has been for us. I haven't made it to playgroup lately because I teach every morning right now, but am looking forward to having Thursdays off this fall and hopefully rejoining the group.
