Junior League of Plano

Hi A.!

I have two ideas for you. One is a website that I love called "Moms Out Loud" (www.momsoutloud.com). It is a local resource for moms in the DFW, and they send out e-mails to their site members about events in the area that would be fun for kids! Great resource.

My other idea is more about social networking. Have you thought about compiling an e-mail mailing list for people in the community that work with local families? For instance, I work for Cultural Care Au Pair in the Frisco/Plano/Carrollton area, so I am constantly in contact with a large network of families who are hosting our au pairs for their childcare. I also have a website and Google Group for my families where I post information about events in the area. I know that there are other people working with metroplex families like me that would be happy to forward community announcements to their contacts.

Sincerely,

K. Besly

Have you visited:

www.metroplexbaby.com ?

It's a DFW resource from pregnancy through teens.

Also, www.DFWareamoms.com is a great networking forum!

My daughter modeled in the American Girl fashion show for two years and hopefully my granddaughter will have the opportunity when she is old enough. My daughter loved it.

Have you checked Around Town Kids? I find lots to do there. There is another called Moms Out Loud.
