Looking for Mamas and toddlers in North Vancouver...

907 Views 58 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  tooticky
We've just moved to North Van (moved back to Canada from the States! YAY!!) and are looking for new friends.

My son Ben is nearly 2 (born 4/26/04). He enjoys playgrounds, beaches, swinging, trucks, cookies.....

I love to sew and knit, bake, hike, ski, bicycle....

Are there any playgroups that we could join, or other mamas and two-ish kiddies who would like to get together?

I also meant to say - we have a knitting group that gets together every....well it used to be Wednesday night. It just recently changed to Thursday night, and now it is back up in the air.
The best thing to do is to also check out our knitting thread - Vancouver knitters spring has sprung!

Thanks Cedarmama...

I'll check out those other threads - I love to knit too!

I was hoping to find folks on the North Shore, as we don't have a car during the week...

Erin - there are some North shore mamas on the Vancouver thread. As well as from all over the lower mainland. We are having a mamas only get together somewhere on the North shore, I believe, on Sat. Apr. 8th. I am hoping someone will post where that is happening again, as the time gets closer

Hi Erin,
As I mentioned on the Vancouver thread, I'm from the North Shore - Lynn Valley. My daughter is 9 months old, and we're also w/o a car most of the time. If you're close, maybe we can get together...she likes playgrounds and beaches too, though the cookies are mashed these days. She's not 2-ish, but hey....

Hi Tricia,

We'd love to meet up somewhere. We're over near Mosquito Creek, but we could head in your direction either by bus or bike. Is there a fun playground somewhere in between?

I'm pretty excited to see some sunshine today!

Erin,

I'm also in North Van...Lynnmour/Seymour area, just east of the 2nd Narrows. DD is almost 3, and ds2 is 8 months. We're housebound for a day or two, at least, though. DS2 is running a fever and isn't feeling at all well.

Hey there, think L is waking so I'll make this quick...
Sure, we'd love to meet up one day. My dh had the flu this weekend, so I'm not sure if we're about to come down with it. Maybe next week?

Yes, there are some good parks around here. I'll try to think about one that's in the middle for both of us.

Well, I think four mamas and their tots can be called a tribe...


We should try to meet up somewhere, sometime!

It sounds like the rest of you are East of me, so maybe we could meet somewhere over in that direction.

The weather is still pretty variable, but maybe we could plan something outdoors and run inside if it starts to get too rainy.

We're pretty much free, except Mondays.

Hi Fern,
We're in Lynn Valley too, and just met up with Erin and Ben today. We enjoyed ourselves, and Lauren fell asleep on the way home and stayed asleep for her nap (wonder of wonders!). Where in Lynn Valley is your mom's place?

Anyway, if you and/or Erin would like to get together in the next few weeks (or after moving), just let me know.

Hi Fern,
We're really not that far, then - we're up Mtn. Highway in Upper Lynn. But we go for walks down your way all the time.

Just let me know when you're ready...

Hi all,
just to let you know there is NorthShore LLL group right at Lynn valley United Church.They meet up every 2nd monday....and the 3rd monday at some one's house.Very nice group.
I'd love to meet up with you guys too....i'll check back this thread more often.
Hi!

I just read this thread, yes definitely the NS LLL is a great place to meet other moms with toddlers who are like minded. It's a great group.

I am in Deep Cove, so maybe I can meet you too! my dd is 4 so not really a toddler and my 2nd is still a babe, but it's always good to meet other moms that are nearby, and crunchy!
LLL meeting: Yes, I went to one, but sadly it is in the middle of Lauren's nap time, so although I try, I don't generally make it.

Maybe I met some of you there?

Nice to see so many in North Van...
Aha! More North Van mamas are cropping up!

Ben and I would love to get together and play sometime. We had fun with Tricia and Lauren the other day (glad to hear she stayed asleep for her nap!).

We're leaving Friday morning, but will be back on the 23rd. We're headed to Nelson for some major Eastering!

If anyone would like to get together this week, we're up for traveling over in the Lynn Valley direction.

Erin.
Hi Erin,
Lauren just came down with a slight cold today, so I think we're going to take it easy and see if it passes quickly. But if you arrange a meet-up with someone, please post it and we'll see if we're up to it.
