    It's been a while!

    I guess it has been a while :) Nothing interesting here, just a new site at Learn and Grow Together, and enjoying my role as Hospitality Manager for Saratoga County Mommies. We have a ton of events planned for our group. I love being a part of this wonderful mommies community!

    I was given the OK to take over the SCM Twitter Account, so if you are on Twitter, come follow us!!! And don't forget to visit our Facebook Page!

    I will be posting info for our big quarterly fundraiser soon! And, hopefully, we will have a SCM blog up as well.

    I also got accepted as a member of The Mommies Network Peer Review Panel. We are just setting things up now, and I am excited to be a part of such a wonderful National organization :)


    Nothing else to post about now...but wanted to pass this along...kind of explains itself! Click on the graphic, and it should take you to You Tube!
