She can go to play groups, join mommy and me classes, join gymboree or My Gym, go to the zoo, the park, go to the mall. Tell her to get out with the kids for a couple of hours a day.

She could join a local group for stay at home moms where moms get together and chat while the kids play. She could also enroll the child in a part time nursery school a couple days a week for a few hours. Then she would have time on her own to run errands, get her hair done, join a gym, or take a class.

Hire her a babysitter and take her out for a girls not out let her cut loose and enjoy the freedom, it is overwhelmeing at times and hard to not feel isolated when you are with little adult conversation most of the day and you guys just go to a movie go shopping anything that she likes to do just take the woman out get her away from the house trust even two hours would be enough to regain sanity.

i am currently a stay at home mom as well and am no longer able to socialize with my friends because of the baby and inconvenience. but i found some things to cope :)
1) have fun being a photographer with the baby.
2) take walks with the baby around the house or at the mall or park if possible
3) play free online games (so you can interact with other adults/people and have fun) while baby is sleeping. here are some suggestions:
Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom (no download needed)
http://vmk.disney.go.com/
Yahoo games (Scrabble, Bingo, Etc.)
http://www.yahoo.com/r/28
Orisinal

4) visit family/friends with the baby (she can show off her bundle of joy and still have adult interaction)
there are many things to do, just up to the person to find what she/he prefers to do without becoming isolated :)

I am a stay at home mom too and have found it easyist to connect with other stay a home moms in my town. Have her find out if there are any groups like MOPS or Parents as Teachers near by. Library story hours are good to.

Have her look for a group called Mothers and More in her area. They do activities just for moms, like spa nights, but also educational stuff, and even play groups. If she's bfing, she also might want to go to a Le Leche meeting, just to get out an meet other moms. When I was at home, I also liked message boards at baby magazines, webmd, babycenter.com, etc.

If she lives in a decent sized town, there are play dates for stay at home mommies. It is a club that provides things to do with the mom and her kids with other mothers. My friend is a stay at home with three kids and she LOVES the interaction with her "club"

When I was a young mom, I used to put my baby in the stroller and take walks around the neighborhood. Not only did I get some exercise, but eventually got to know my neighbors. Many friendships blossomed from those walks.

try going out on small outings. join a parents A. a play group...the comunity center in your town will have things like that...connecting with oter moms really helps. also you can always take her and the kids to a movie...kids might scream but it is kinda fun!

play groups are a good way to have some outside adult interaction.
i also have a ritual of meeting with a girlfriend every friday night for coffee!
make sure her husband/boyfriend understands that she needs her own "adult" time.
