Portland PARKA: Parents Raising Kids Alone

We are mothers who did it all ourselves from the very start (conception?). We are raising wonderful children in Portland by ourselves, and doing a darned wonderful job of it! You are welcome to join us if you are a single woman with a child, planning a child, or thinking about having or adopting a child on your own.

January Get-Together?


No matter what we call ourselves, we are definitely here to support each other and commiserate on being single choice moms. Another good way to do that is to get together for a social gathering. I am sure all of you our there in blog land have been inundated by holiday parties and are looking forward to the post-holiday let down in January! I thought maybe that would be a good time to get together. The world will appear less crazy, and we would all welcome the quiet of post holiday coffee shops! I am thinking of Urban Grind, one of my favorite venues for play and chocolate-coffee shakes! Not a lot of munchies for the kids, though, but they do have a good grill cheese sandwich and cartons of milk. What weekend would you all like to aim for? What would be better, Saturday or Sunday, and what time of day does your child nap, so we can try to work around that? Mine naps through the noon hour. Kind of messes up our day, but what can you do!

Urban Grind is located in NE Portland, on 20th and Oregon. If you know where the spinning milk container is when you are going toward the Lloyd Center from Sandy Blvd, you are almost right there!
