There is nothing more important in the life of a woman than having quality friends to share their successes and their challenges and to have that connection with other ladies. Lets face it, regardless of how awesome your partner is, you need your girl time!   Whether you are married or single, have children or do not, women of this age have much more commonality than differences as we reach a certain wisdom.   This group is for professional mature women in their 40's and 50's who live in Chicago …

Let's just put it this way: I have a fever for crafts and the only cure is:  MORE CRAFTS!!!      If I had a time machine I would go back to 2nd grade arts and crafts class, just to be among all the yarn and paint and cardboard tubes every day!  I do not consider myself a craft expert by any means but I do consider myself a CRAFTSOMNIAC! It is a passion and an obsession! I am excited to meet others with the same love for all things creative.   I have started this craft group as a way to reach out …

Meet other local people who are interested in the famous French aperitif, Absinthe. Let's gather and discuss this amazing alcoholic beverage. "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self.

Absinthe is an alcoholic beverage, therefore, please enjoy in moderation.

This group is about meeting new people...who enjoy a good drink and way too many laughs. Are you in your 30s (maybe 40s) but 19 at heart? Do you like day drinking and one of those people who can't leave a bar? Are you a responsible adult but like to find time just for yourself? Well, grab you ID and let's go. This is not a pick up group or for those who can't say no, just a laid back meet up over cocktails and venues that promote great stories the next morning. No creepers please.

I moved to Chicago fairly recently for a nanny position, and was very surprised that with all of the nannies in this city, there's not many support groups for them. Ideally I would like for this group to be a way for nannies to meet others who are in their industry. Our job can be very isolating, so it's great to get out and meet other people! Personally, I would love to be able to arrange playdates or maybe a cocktail after a long day at work!
