About Us

Metroplex Baby & Kids founders and sisters, Barbara Arnondin and Tina Wysk grew up in Dallas-Fort Worth. Once we became moms, the Metroplex became a large unknown. We spent hours flipping through the phone book and searching the internet for the best baby products and deals, as well as for activities for our kids. We did not find any of the available directories useful. After constantly remarking "why isn't there a web site that lists all the information we need," we decided to start Metroplex Baby & Kids. Barb used the experience she gained from having owned and operated her own business, and Tina employed the skills she had attained from a 10 year career working in Dallas and New York City for Fortune 500 companies. We launched The Scoop in 2005 and other services followed. With the help of a dedicated team of area moms and dads, we strive to provide families living in the Metroplex the centralized resources we searched for so desperately:

●   listings of child and parent-related activities and merchants

●   a free weekly "scoop" of what is happening in the Metroplex and special offers

●   a complete community where parents can share stories, photos, audio and video, and where they can chat and blog

●   a unique and fun events program that is not membership-based

●   interesting "where-to-start" guides

●   a classifieds section for gear and other parenting needs

If you have any feedback, suggestions or questions for us, or for information on how to advertise on Metroplex Baby & Kids, listings, participation in the Metroplex Baby Savings Card program or MetroMoms events, please contact us!
