Me!! We moved here about 18 months ago, so aren't *super* familiar with the area. Welcome to MI!! I hope you love it here. This is such a beautiful part of the world. I would be happy to meet up with you sometime.

Hey, are you two ladies still around? We need some playmates sooo bad. We closed our at-home daycare this past October and DD1 has been dying to get together with more kids... but we don't really know anyone. We still occasionally get together with some of the kids from our daycare, but the ones she was closest to are now 6 y/o boys and not always terribly interested to come play with 3 y/o DD. Besides that, only one of the familys in our care were even remotely sympathetic to our lifestyle / parenting choices.

[gardenmommy]

Yes!  We are on the the north-west side.  

[Juise]

So are we! Are you anywhere near Ransom park, by any chance?

Hi! I just joined and saw this thread. I too am from Holland, born and raised. Unfortunately we moved to Muskegon when I got married, but I am still around every week or so at my parents on the south side.

Hi!

[flower97]

I live in GR and would not mind driving somewhere to meet up with some new mommies.  I have 4 kids, 11,8 (both boys), 5 1/2 and 7 months (girls)

Come on over!  It's nice over by the water!

Well, I will throw out some dates, and you guys let me know.... 

Aug. 1,2, 16, 17, 18, 19??  

[gardenmommy]

I can't do Aug 1 or 2.  Not sure about the other dates, as I'm waiting on a couple of things to fall into place.

Hi ladies!  I live in Holland too.  (Zeeland acutally)  I have a 16 month old, and we love play dates.  The splash pad in downtown Holland is great.  :)  Anyone interested?

[Juise]

Count me in :D My 3 y/o loves it, although last I took my youngest she was not fond of actually getting too near the water, lol. Let me know please when you'd like to go, I need to know a little bit ahead of time to have the car.

Hello,

I moved to Holland right before DS was born in May, 2011. We are now expecting #2 in November 2012. I am a SAHM for the time being and would love to meet other moms in the area. Right now my son and I go the library on Wednesdays for "Book nibblers" at 10 am. Summer is coming up and I would love someone to go to the beach with or take walks or playdates. We have no friends with kids in the area, unfortunately. So I would love to meet some moms to hang out with :)

Anyone still in the area? We have 2 girls and have been in this area for about a year. Love it!

Hi Holland mamas! I have a 20 month old son and am 9 weeks pregnant with #2. We will be moving to the Holland area early next year, and I just started a thread asking for birthing options in the area. I will also be looking for a pediatrician (non-vax friendly), and some crunchy mama friends!! :)

[gardenmommy]

I am still working on a pedi, maybe someone else can help you with that.  I've had 4 homebirths with the same midwife (she is in Grand Rapids).  I have several friends who have birthed at Zeeland hospital and were happy with it.  PM if you have specific questions!

Hey I just saw this post. I am from here, but just moved back after 10 years. Looking for some crunchy mamas!

[OSUvet]

I'm here! After anticipating moving for months but not knowing when, my family is finally in town. I have a 2 year old and planning a home birth for #2 in June. Would also love to meet some of you crunchy mamas :)
