“I’m new to Austin and I’m looking for other Mama’s in the area.”
“We’re expecting and would love to meet up with other expecting parents.”
“Stay-at-home Dad is looking for other Dads to take the kids to fun places.”
Sounds
familiar? Maybe you’re transitioning from "your normal life" to a life
with children. Or you’re a stay-at-home Mom or Dad who’s looking for
things to do with your kids during the week. Or you’re a working Mom or Dad
that would like to meet up with other parents and kids on the weekends.
Or you’re new to the 512 and just want to socialize and interact with
other Moms and Dads.
Whatever you’re looking for, do not despair, my friends. We’ve just added the category Play Groups / Mom Groups / Dad Groups to our directory which currently lists 119 groups and will help you get connected.

This is our first Kindergarten experience and so far we love our school. Teachers are great, facilities are safe, drop-off and pick-up is not bad at all (we expected worse). Plus, the school does lots of fun stuff that makes kids (at least our Kindergartner) look forward to going to school even more:

Our school does that fun thing where Kindergartners are “Queen for a Day” or “King for a Day”. They get to wear a crown and the entire class draws the queen or king. The teacher binds the drawings into a book and the queen or king can take the book home with her/him.
The book is adorable and we got a good laugh out of it. Plus, there are quite some little Picassos in her class, check it out.

scaly friends or take a field trip to our beautiful farms in and around Austin.

Inspired by Mother Nature and the Woodland Faerie Trail at
Zilker Botanical Garden,
my daughters (5 and 3) and I created this cute little Fairy Garden in
our back yard. The material we used is 80% “au natural” and includes
items we found in our yard, our neighborhood, our craft box, and at my
favorite new craft store, the
Austin Creative Reuse Center.

It's her birthday again? Feels like it was just yesterday that we all ran around in Ninja Turtle costumes battling petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated animals, and alien invaders while attempting to remain hidden from the party-poopers who didn't want to play with us. What are we going to do this year? Geez, and who's going to plan the whole thing?
