I have been blogging for a year. Quite honestly, I was aimlessly blogging. I love the writing. I love the online friends. I love the online community. But, I was blogging really for no particular reason.
I am a firm believer in things happen for a reason. I figured if I continued to do what I love then something…ANYTHING would come of it. In the meantime, I was writing, making friends and having fun.
A few weeks ago my wandering the internet without purpose changed.
I found a reason (other than self-entertainment) to blog.
*Rewind*
Our story starts several months ago when Holly is making plans to meet some
I sent out an email saying that I could help pick up people from the airport since I live a short distance from DFW airport. One of the other attendees, Shauna emailed me back asking me where I live. I wrote back that I live in Flower Mound. Shauna wrote back that she did too.
Shauna lives in Flower Mound too.
We live a few miles from each other.
We met for a playdate. We saw each other again during the fabulous weekend of blogger bliss. I need to repeat that the weekend was a fabulous weekend of blogger bliss.
Then one day the idea came.
I wanted to do something local.
I called up Shauna and we met for breakfast…
I know! I know! And I ate the WHOLE thing.
Over that french toast was born a website and social network for moms in our area. We recruited a third party and have been in constant motion since then.
And here it is!
I am so excited to introduce:
burbmom.net
The website is up and going. We have made great progress…still a few kinks to iron out.
If you or someone you know lives in the North DFW area, please join our social network through the website’s “connect” button. We are concentrating on Argyle, Bartonville, Double Oak, Flower Mound and Highland Village, but are happy to have you join if you live a bit further out.
And for those of you that don’t live close, please move here ASAP…
Oh that explains my email–I’d love to join 😉
Wow, you have been a busy woman. I wish I lived closer, sadly I live in Ohio. Sounds like fun though.
Do you know that I just now today figured out that “TexasHolly” whom I follow around Stumble, etc. is the same person who writes “June Cleaver Nirvana”?
Wow. I feel sooo stooopid.
Please Move here ASAP. You are so funny : ). You always make me smile! I hope your new site is hugely succesful! Blessings!
Not fair. I wanna live in the North DFW area. Pffftt.
Very ambitious and productive of you all! I’m much impressed. Just wish we were closer… 🙂 Like Janet, I’m stuck with aimless blogging!
guess i’m stuck with aimless blogging.
darn it … i’m too far from flower mound to make it work.
You go girl!
That is freakin’ AWESOME!
But I’m not a burb mom, I’m a burb dad.
I don’t live in DFW, although I lived in Abilene for three and a half years. Kinda close, in a relative way, compared to say Chicago.
Does this mean I won’t get anymore animated Holly, or Potluck or so much more?
I hope not, and I think I will have to at least set up for an RSS feed. 🙂
In all seriousness, the site looks great and I hope it turns into the Texas Dooce, or something even bigger and better.
you crazy busy person. good job! sadly, i am still aimlessly blogging….
