notesink Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Our family is new to East Dulwich (though we've lived in London 2 years) and looking forward to meeting new people. We're happy to meet people of all backgrounds, but I was curious if there happen to be any American expat moms out there who might want to meet? We're originally from Atlanta, GA but lived in San Francisco for 4 years before moving to London. I'm a full-time mom with a 3.5 year old and one on the way. Our daughter would also love to meet some new little friends. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24381-american-expat-moms/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vch Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hey there,I'm an American expat mom-to-be with a baby who was due to be born on the 4th of July. No idea when he'll actually arrive now, since he seems to be overdue. I have a friend who lives in Dulwich Village who has two daughters ages 2 & 4 though. They sound like they'd be perfect companions for your daughter.Look forward to meeting you!

rebeccaben Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hiya, Another one here! I have been here 12 years and have a 2 year old girl and a 4 month old boy. Just moved from East Dulwich to North Dulwich. Am back at work now but I have Fridays off so would love to meet up on a Friday or weekend.

Hesmall1 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 And another one here. April marked my 11th year in London and have been in fabulous ED for about 20 months now. I too am a working Mom with Fridays off (like Rebecca) and have an independent 16-month old daughter who loves playing in Dulwich or Peckham parks. Look forward to hearing more about an American Mommy meet-up!

meredithdavis78 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Let's hear it for the American mums! I am on my 6th year in London. Originally from Fort Worth and then Los Angeles. I have a 6 month old and would love to plan a get together. We are on Maxted off of Bellenden Road. Looks like Fridays work for most. Shall I throw out a date of July 20th as a proposed date to meet up? Would the 27th work better? Which park works better for everyone? Peckham Rye cafe or Dulwich cafe? I ordered an american flag for our 4th of July party so I can be brave and put it on one of the tables to signify A MEETING OF THE AMERICAN MUMS! Huxley (6 month old) and I can do either date and park.

notesink Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sounds great to me! I was going to suggest the same, a Friday meet-up :) I vote for sooner than later, so the 20th would be my pick. And I'd be happy with either park cafe. Maybe 11am? What do others think of that time? I was thinking some moms might have to get back for kids to nap after lunch. Looking forward to meeting lots of moms and kids! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24381-american-expat-moms/#findComment-558878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
meredithdavis78 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi Ladies, Shall we meet up on Friday, the 20th? Could I propose the cafe at Peckham Rye? Huxley and I have baby yoga at 11 so we couldn't meet up until he wakes from his nap at 2. Would 2 or 2:15-ish work for anyone?

If not, lets see what time and place works best.
