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…
Hm, I thought aimless blogging WAS the purpose. ;D
It’s so great that you have met a wonderful network of blogging friends who turned out to be real-time friends as well! I know some really fab bloggers in my area, but given the wide age differences in our kids, I doubt we’ll have the same sort of real-time group that you have organized.
Oh great now I feel pressure to have a purpose…sigh
I just quit my job, put my house up for sale and informed my family that we are moving to Flower Mound, TX.
Why? Just so I can join your group.
You’re funny.
Sounds like you started something fun. The only problem is you didn’t start it in the Kansas City area. Why? I ask you, why? And don’t give me the lame excuse of because you don’t live here.
But … but … but I don’t wanna move! I love it down here in Central Texas. Maybe can I be an honorary member, and come up and visit for one of the play dates? Pleeeeease?? Purty please with a cherry on top?
That’d be finer than frog’s hair, y’all.
(Sorry, had to throw a little Texan in there!)

That is awesome! I am in awe and envious.
We almost moved to Dallas, but moved here instead… sigh.
Wow! Congrats!
Please contact me if you ever decide to “open” a Cajun Country hub. 🙂
I have no idea what this post is about, I’m just drooling over the French toast picture.
Does Alabama constitute as “a little further out”????
