Pardon our mess as we Expand and Grow together!

Hi Ladies,

You are probably noticing some of the changes, the obvious being the addition of a couple new forums.  If you haven't guessed yet, we are trying to grab your attention and get you to be more active so tell us what you would like to see more of...

Are you interested in how to have some fun family time? 

How to entertain on a dime?

Have some Business Etiquette questions?

Stop with the expanding...I just want to talk about my kids LOL

Interested in learning more about another culture?

Would love a place where I could just let my hair down and chat about anything with amazing women.

Are you all interested in chatting?  I would gladly work up a chat schedule now that we have this amazing new Calendar feature.

So tell me what gets you going, interests you and what you may want to learn about!

I think learning about different cultures would be interesting, as well as doing a group chat.

I like the idea about having a scheduled CHAT where everyone can "talk" in real time if they are interested.

I also still like the idea of this being a "manners" discussion group....or at least mainly be that.  Society is full of kids, adults too for that matter, but definitely kids, who aren't being raised with or who don't use the old fashioned way of being a nice person. Not that I expect kids/people to be like the old days - but being polite, using manners, how to behave in certain situations, how to be out in public appropriately is TIMELESS information. This is a great place to voice our concerns about our own kids and others kids too. How do we help our own kids, how do we help other kids while around us and ours.   I am always pointing out other kids behavior to show mine what is wrong with how others are being raised. Not that we are perfect in any way but I do know for a fact that some of my kids "friends" aren't as well trained in polite behavior. Not that their friends are "rotten" either but I don't want mine learning bad habits because they are hanging with them. I think we all can learn to be better one way or another.

But because you are the expert Angela, you end up leading all the topics. LOL!  Sometimes we end up just venting about some rude person or kid, wondering what to do about it. I actually like how you sometimes post a topic and it give us the opportunity think about it and reply as it relates to us and our families and lives. IDK, maybe sometimes we just need to be lead into conversation. LOL! Maybe after awhile we will come up with stuff on our own. I know you do all the work, but you do such a great job of it.  :)

Wow, THANK YOU!  I will keep doing all the regular posting too.  I am actually behind and need to get something up.  I have been crazy distracted lately LOL.  I love that you all check in and I think a chat would be fun so I will work on creating a schedule for it!
