This group is for people who would rather entertain in their own home than go out to a restaurant for fun.  If you don't have the room for entertaining then that's ok but you need to be willing to contribute food and drink on a regular basis when other members hold events in their homes.  The idea is for someone to host a get together (dinner party, wine tasting, movie night, barbecue, whatever) and determine a "theme". The host(ess) generally  provides the main dish and the others bring theme o …

Update: January 15, 2013 Who we are and what we are doing: We are a group of individuals and families who are following the pioneer spirit that founded this great country.  We are, as Holly said in her food presentation, concentrating on preparing for the little disasters with high probability.  A car goes out of control or an ice storm hits and you have no power for a few days.  A hurricane visits and now you need a few weeks.  Without power how will you heat and cook?  If you cannot leave yo …

This group was created to get together moms and their little ones in the Centreville/Clifton/Chantilly area. I would like to keep the kids in roughly the same age bracket so let’s say anyone born between May 2009 and August 2011.

Working moms unite! This is a group for mother's of infants and toddlers in the Reston area looking for a little bit of everything.

Warning! Please, do no …
