Why did I create this group? I was tired of feeling alone with this issue and I find it difficult to discuss certain challenges with my fiance and I want to meet new friends! Also, it is a unique position, and if your friends and family are NOT stepmothers themselves, they usually have NO IDEA where you're coming from. It essentially falls on deaf ears. I'm a 'Stepmom' of two grown children--one boy who lives with us part-time, 18--one girl who is 22, and just graduated from college. It has been …

See article for more details. This group for "grandfamilies" provides support, networking and resources for grandparents who find themselves parents to their grandch …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

Welcome! Who should join this group? My name is Lindsey, and I am a self-employed mom to my sweet little boy, Tucker, and wife to my husband, Matt. Tucker is 18-months old and absolutely loves his play groups! I've found, however, that many of the mom groups do not include dad participation. There is absolutely a need for moms to be with just moms, but I've heard many moms talking about how their husbands want to to participate sometimes. Thus, this group is open to PARENTS... yes, MOMS AND DAD …
