After being a lurker and getting the e-mail
updates for about a year I finally attended my first
Metro Moms event. I usually try to stay away from
mom/kid type events because they are so unorganized. I
just couldn't pass up the event at the zoo. I prepared
myself for a nightmare. Boy was I surprised when the
whole event ran so smoothly. You guys are superstars!

I was fortunate to be squeezed into my first
MetroMoms event ever: The Best and Hottest Products from
Pregnancy to Preschool. When I received the phone call
that there was an opening (I was on the waitlist), I
honestly felt that I had won the lottery! Have you all
seen "Oprah's Favorite Things" episodes? Well, this was
like that, except geared towards mommies and babies. I
had such a blast and my son, Remy, enjoyed watching and
interacting with the other children. I love that I made
new friends with the same frustrations and delights of
motherhood.

NguyenMetroMoms events are fun for moms and kids.
It's great to be in settings friendly to
kids while enjoying the company of other
moms. The events are so well organized. The
prizes are fantastic- popular brands and the
newest products. I can't believe how cool
the goody bags items are! It's even better
than when I was a kid and got goodies at
birthday parties!

I feel very
lucky to have been introduced to MM while my
son was very young. We have been able to do
a lot of fun things. Many of my friends with
small children that don't live in the DFW
area wish that there was a similar
organization to MM in their area.

What I like
best about MetroMoms events is that it's a
way to meet other moms and learn new tips &
tricks to being a mom.

Let's face it, parenting is not easy... you need all the help you can get. But Dallas/Fort Worth is huge and can be difficult to plug in.
Enter Tina Wysk and Barbara Arnondin, founders of Metroplex Baby and Kids, a one stop resource for all things kid-related and mommy-needed in the metroplex.

I was so looking forward to my metroplex baby luncheon on Thursday. Those events do not come around enough and it really was the one truly bright spot on my calendar ( yes I have always had one of those, whether or not it is on the right month is the question). So I had a delightful lunch and speaker on managing children in the 2's and 3's.

The Metroplex Baby & Kids event on Saturday at Pickles and Ice Cream was awesome. . . . In addition to the great stuff, we also met some really nice people and I'm looking forward to the next event!

Saturday morning I picked up Lindy and we headed to a MetroMoms event -- love these! This one was for "new and expectant moms", and we enjoyed a light breakfast at the Plano Pickles 'n Ice Cream before drawing numbers to pick out a fabulous new baby product. I actually drew number 4 out of about 40! I still missed out on the awesome stroller and high chair, but I did get the coolest travel baby bed called a Baby Zabu that I will be taking everywhere.

The MetroMoms event was allot of fun, too. It was a "move and be healthy" type of thing, held at a Wiggles Play Center. Not only did the kids get to play on the playsets, but the moms participated in a hula-hoop contest, while the dads had to feed and change a "baby" - one handed! It was so funny to see grown men get so competitive over baby bottles filled with water and diapers that just would not come off of the doll. It was all in good fun, though.

We
decided to add a little culture to our lives
by going to the Dallas Museum of Art for a
private, guided tour for moms and their
babies. We had a good time hanging out
together. . . the group that hosted it is
Metro Moms and they have events all over the metroplex that moms can go to with their
little ones. Just another fun outing!
