(We originally planned to meet on December 7, but we have rescheduled for December 28. In January, we will return to our normal first-Saturday-of-the-month schedule.)

Come join other Northwest Side moms at our new MOPS/MOMSnext group held at Third Place Chicago. MOPS/MOMSnext is a national organization that gathers moms to support each other through the journey of motherhood. We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together face-to-face. That’s why we rally women to come together in their own neighborhoods and help each other through this thing called motherhood, one gathering at a time.

Whether you are a soon-to-be mom, first-time mom or seventh-time mom, you are welcome here. Whether you are an adoptive mom, young mom, seasoned mom, foster mom, stepmom or any other type of mom, you are welcome here. Moms who have children, no matter the age, are welcome. Our gatherings are where moms can meet to share their hopes, fears, and insights in a format that works with their schedule. Come join us for honest conversations about the joys and frustrations of motherhood, take a break from the routine of life, have some fun, make new friendships, and build support networks.

Childcare is provided at all meetings. For more information, go to thirdplacechicago.com/mops.
