There’s nothing quite as depressing as a case of the Friday doldrums — especially when at-home excitement equates to an unopened gallon of Dreft and an all-day Boobah marathon. But just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you have to be a mope, so prepare for some playgroup at Be By Baby! in the Lakeview neighborhood. While the crawlers creep and the tots toddle, moms can meet new friends and simultaneously exchange valuable advice and anecdotes about everything from the best smiles to the worst crying jags in world history. Playgroup is held in the Be By Baby! lecture room, but don’t forget to check out the intriguing line of organic and Earth-friendly clothes, toys and supplies that can be found in the main store area. Who knows? You may just leave with a new best buddy, a cure for colic, and a stack of fashionable cloth diapers to boot!
