There are so many wonderful groups in surrounding areas, but I've had a hard time finding one with local events in Collin County. I want to welcome ladies of all ages to join me for dinners around the area, coffee chats, wine nights, and book clubs. I know that over the years and as lives move in a variety of directions, friendships change. I'd love to find a close-knit group of friends again. I know so many other women feel this way. Hopefully this will be a way for all of us to find those frie …

We all have a lot to do and focus on, so why not have a group of ladies who enjoy chick lit books and being social, where it is just an escape! We can meet up, enjoy some fun books, some wine and food and just have a good time!  We are low on structure, high on fun.  We enjoy light books, and  and fun conversation! We alternate among "official" chick lit (but not too fluffy so we have something to talk about!) and more "serious" books. We meet once a month to discuss, talk, have cocktails and ma …

I envision this as being a great way to meet local people and bond over some good books, good food, and a bottle or two of wine! I've noticed a lot of the other meetup groups tend to meet during the day which isn't great for me because I work, so I thought I'd start something new! We can meet on weekends or evenings, which ever works best for the group. While I am 30 and married, I don't see any reason to limit this group to any gender, set age or marital status - as long as you're friendly and …
