I am still new at being a mom; my oldest is just over 1 1/2 and my youngest is just under 1. And I've found that runners' clubs and most running/walking activities do not allow/welcome those of us who have kids and the inevitable jogging strollers. So, here I am. Calling all moms in my same situation - we want to stay active and fit, but we have little ones we need to bring along for the ride. This group will consist mostly of running/walking meetups a few times per week; and as we get to know o …

Jeanette Blix of Fundametals.net and Cindy Wimmer of Sweet Bead Studio, two jewelry artists, met at a coffee shop and talked wire. They talked about art and jewelry. They talked about growing and advancing their skills. And over a latte and cocoa, they talked about the lack of workshops in the Northern Virginia/DC metropolitan area. "Well this will just not do!", they decided. And so, ArtBliss was born. ArtBliss is a new series of workshops that encompass jewelry design and mixed media from inte …

Some of the members of this group knew each other in the old Worldwide Church of God some fourty or more years ago.

I want to find moms who like to bike casually -- you can wear shiny bright clothes if you want, but the only requirement is that you have a bike and a helmet and know how to use both. If you want something healthy to do while your kids are at school, and your knees and ankles are telling you that running is not your thing, and you want to get outside to enjoy the fresh air, this is the group for you. We welcome Herndon, Vienna and Oakton moms too (heck, anyplace is fine with us!), but our cent …

You heard correctly, single = not married! This group is for singles (whether in or out of a relationship) living in the suburbs of DC. Meetups include a wide variety of activities at all different venues, as often as possible! Meeting someone, whether it's that "special" person or simply a good friend, can be hard in this area - especially when living in the suburbs! Many people find that, suddenly, their "circle of friends" consists of married couples or those in serious rel …
