The Chicago Punkymoms Meetup

"Nice Econappies on the little one! We're starting our stash (have 11 so far), how are you finding them? Do you use other types of CD as well? "

"Fellow SouthSider, how south are you? We're in Bridgeport."

"Where are you from in Canada? Hubby and I are from the west, Alberta for me, BC for him. We've been in Chicago almost 3 years now and we love it! "

"Hi everyone! I grew up in Oak Park and my husband and I lived in the city for quite a while, Berwyn, Evanston and now back to Berwyn. We have a 2 1/2 year old Gus and I'm looking for unique, non-judgy, fun moms! I hope to hear from you soon! "

"Hey all, As usual, most events are weather permitting, and it doesn't look like today will be as warm as I thought previously while scheduling this meeting. I've decided to postpone it for warmer and..."

"Hi! I'm looking for some cool people in a similar place in life to have fun with and share this great experience. I used to hang at Neo and the Dome Room. Now when I'm up at 3am, the only thing on tap is breast-milk ;)"

"Hey lady! We need to hang out. I need some advice on this whole baby thing...and to get out of the house!"

"Hello fellow Costumer! I would love to meet and hang out! "

"Hi, my daughter Coco and I are trying to get to know the fun bits of Chicago and meet lots of cool mums. We're new here so it's all a big adventure!"

"Great to meet you and Arya today. C & I had a great time, in spite of her sassiness. Let's hang soon!"

"Hi Tracy! Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!"

"I was wondering when a Punkymoms would get rolling around here! Thanks Kit! I'm Ma to Oliver (2.5) and Charlotte (16 mo). We're south siders; the hub and I are WI transplants. Love dirt, nose snoogles, people who keep trying to find a better way."

"Hey Elizabeth, the girls are adorable!"

"I'm Tracy. I'm not especially punky: all my piercings have probably closed up & I haven't been to a show since 2006, but this still seems like a like-minded group for me. Looking to reclaim some of my interests once new baby insanity calms down. "

"hey elizabeth i can't wait to meet you! I just finished a two year costume program in canada, it delt more with construction and wardrobe management though. your web site is amazing! I'm also doing the whole cloth diapering thing, are you making yours??"

"Looking forward to meeting you! I too am (was?) an artist. My kiddo is my project now... It is challenging to stay focused on your work when you focus on the kids! But your vision is super cool. Love your website."

"I live in Rogers Park, have a sassy 2.5 year old daughter, am a single parent and am looking to meet other liberal, like-minded parents that don't parent "by the book." I find it very difficult to find non-cookie-cutter parents... "

"Want to meet other moms who are not the stereotypical "mom""

"Hi, My name is Mercedes. My son is 2, and his name is Otis. I am excited to meet more fun parents!"

"Anyone have any good advice about taking away the night bottle? My 16 month old still needs 1 bottle at night about 1/2 hour before bedtime, and she drinks it in 2 minutes flat. She won't do the same..."

"Hello everyone! Hope you all are well and happy. I have some news about the upcoming "Coffee Stroll" outing. Ari and I might not be able to make it, as we had a death in the family over the..."

"I'm really not all that punk rock, but: We have a family subscription to Razorcake, subject our children to our records and occasionally make them put up with touring bands on their floor. "

"This is the title of a book a friend recently mailed to us. I wish I had it sooner. I cannot put it down. It totally addresses how isolated I feel from the mainstream mommy-machine. If anyone wants..."

"Kristina Yapp, 36 years old, Steger IL"

"My name is Tina and I have a 7 1/2 month old boy Xavier. We love meeting new people and getting parenting advice/ideas. I love hearing how others are transitioning into parenthood."
