any Gracemere mums out there?

[ollieandbaileysmum]

hey everyone!

i dont know the lingo on this as yet (my first time )

i have a 2.5 year old son Oliver and a 4 month old son Bailey, Bailey is a preemie baby he was born at 34+5 weeks gestation and we had a trip to Brisbane for further treatment.

i am posting on here as we recently moved from Rocky to Gracemere (1 week before Bailey was born)

most my friends dont have children which makes it very difficult for me as they are always asking me to go out for coffee or lunch but with 2 babies en tow this is not enjoyable for my friends, and me of course.

i am wanting to get out of the house! i take the boys to the zoo and parks but it gets a bit lonely on my own.

any Gracemere mums out there? i would love to meet up for a play date.

Hi Ladies,

I too am in Gracemere and am looking for some local company. I have a 16 month old daughter and we would both love to meet some mums and bubs for playdates.

Hope to hear from you!

Hi ladies,

I have just moved to the area too. I have a 6.5 yr old son who goes to Gracemere SS and an 18 month old daughter. My daughter has never really had any kids her age to play with so I would love to meet up!

Hi MrsDtobe, great to hear from somebody! I don't know much about how these forums work, it has taken me forever to find this post! Anyway, let me know if you're interested in meeting sometime.

Hey girls.

We recently moved up from Adelaide and are looking for somewhere to live. We are considering Rocky but I've heard it's 'dodgy'?! I don't really know.. We are temporarily staying with friends in Yeppoon but hubby hates the commute to work.

Have seen there are some nice houses in Gracemere. How far is it from Rocky and what's it like there? I'd love to meet up with some of you

Hey lilmumma!

We have decided we will be moving to Gracemere too! We are currently staying with friends at Yeppoon as we just arrived from Adelaide.. We don't know anyone else either! We are moving as soon as we've found a house. I have an almost 14 month old boy!

I will try to find you on Facebook (I am Asha)

Hi Ladies
Gracemere does have lots of new houses. Just be choosy where you pick a house because some of the areas are nicer than others. Even some streets with nice-ish houses are turning into neighbourhood slums. Also, if you like your piece and quiet then I dont think Gracemere is for you. The houses are getting piled in on top of one another so you can hear the next door neighbours talking inside their house. Not to say the least. LOL. And the amount of dogs is irritating. Dont live on a main road (eg Lucas St) because of all the construction the trucks going up and down these streets make it very loud.
We have a private Playgroup on FB and we meet up once a week when we can. If you want to look me up I can then add you to the Playgroup.. There is also Gracemere Mums site.

Hi Ladies,
Like Bron Says there are some dodgie parts and dodgie people. We're in a good street, with lots of families and no shortage of kids out playing with my kids. Look for the side streets not main Roads like Lilly Pilly Rd or Lucas St.

Renee I also have 2 older kids next month they'll be 8 & 10 and a little bub 16 months (All boys) and we moved our family of 5 from NZ in Jan - it is difficult and takes a while to adjust but you're doing the right thing by hooking up with groups. All the Mum's here are not from here and all miss their own home towns and family and friends so we're ALL in the same boat. Just give it time, keep in the front of your mind 'WHY' you're doing it and stay positive. Hope to meet you both soon.
Also try the Funky Monkeys playgroup on Fridays on Barry St at the Community Hall 9.30
