Congrats on the baby! It really is a lot of fun...Hoboken and JC are great places for kids, but especaially your first as there are so many other families here. It is easy to connect. First..check out the Hoboken Family Alliance website: HobokenFamily.com. There are lots of great resources and ways to connect. There is also a New Mom's group that I think meet at the YMCA in the colder months, probably in the park during the summer. If you email me, I will give you the name of the person to contact. You don't have to live in Hoboken, there are many members in JC, Weehawken and Norht Bergen too. Good Luck!!
