introduce yourself

[Melanie]

Hi Everyone,
figured i would start this topic, I am not sure if everyone allready knows each other, but i really only know Caroline. So i figured what better way to find out a little more about each other.
so, My name is Melanie, i live in central jersey( piscataway to be exact). Married to Pete will be 3 years married this sept 24, but 12yrs together. We have a beautiful lil girl named Mia, she just turned one on 8/11. hmm... what else.
I love to crochet, sew and do things crafty,but my time for that is few and far between now. Love cooking and baking. Pete and I are looking to buy our first home, will probably stay in the general area, as both of our parents are here. and we both work in town. I hope to learn more about the other mamas here.
take care and be well
Melanie

Hi, my name is Jessica and I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I was introduced to BabySmile by Caroline, we reconnected with myspace after several years from graduating highschool. I've been a single parent of two beautiful girls the last 2 years, Cassandra (5 years) and Chloe (23 months). In those two years I've fallen i love with a friend and he actually just proposed on Aug. 21st. My daughters are so excited and can't wait wear a "princess dress".
I would love to hear about other moms and their experiences, I am sure there is lots to share!

[Caroline Muolo]

My name is Caroline and I had the joy of working with Colleen in Early Intervention for over two years. She introduced me to Baby Smile & Grow. I live in Sarasota, Florida. I recently moved here in February 2008 from Long Branch, New Jersey. My husband and I wanted to raise our baby in a warmer and more spiritual location. There is a huge community here of parents who focus on holistic remedies and more natural alternatives. A lifestyle we always wanted to be more a part of. I am a newlywed, I got married to the love of my life in May 2008, while being 8 months pregnant. I am a new mommy, my son Luca is now 2 months old, he was born on 6/20/2008. I am really enjoying this online based mommy group :o)
