I'm so lucky to have you all

[Farah]

I was just thinking today (while I was in my MRI machine trying to ignore the small space and loud noises) how lucky I am that I can come on here and just vent, relax, and chit chat with everyone. I love that :love: I also love that we all are a family here in our own special way and that we can just hang out and/or let it out.:hula: (Hey, if we hula enough do you think we'll all have sexy abs of steel????)


Then I started thinking of how great it would be to see us grow into a stronger community and better (and more!) friends, but, I'm at a loss on how to do that! Then I thought some more (yeah, it was a long MRI) about ideas to make us have more fun. Contests, different thread ideas, challenges, and then.....I drew a blank. So, I figured I'd just come on and ask you all to let us (Ashley, Elaine, and me) know what you want. So, grab a ****tail or mocktail and let us know....what activities do you want to see on MH, how do you think we could make MH a community with more members and more tight knit connections?? Basically, what's your perfect Mothers' Hideaway?? :feetup:



ETA: Oh yeah, if you rather PM us with your thoughts, please feel free to do that, too!

I'm grateful for you too! I'll have to brainstorm a bit on the rest after I haven't had a couple glasses of vino. ;)

:lol: I had to laugh!! I finally just got Lily down and poured a big glass of wine. This week has kicked my behind.

Okay, sorry, back to suggestions on how to help grow mh & add fun things you would all like to see!!

[Jojo]

Oh I love you too :love: :hehe:

I was thinking I would love to do some scrap swaps with anyone who is willing to trade scrapbook supplies!

Contests would be fun also! Picture contests and probably some others. It's so early and I'm going on little sleep so I'll come back to this :)

And just a :hug: for having to deal with an MRI!

Maybe a recipe exchange? I saw somewhere where people put together recipes but made it fun by sending a bowl, or a whisk or something cute like that.

I can't think much right now. But I like the recipe idea. Maybe we could have a recipe of the week or something that we can all try and then come back and review what we thought of it. Does anyone want to do a book club? I've been kind of wanting to join one but I am over meeting more and more people. I know, it's probably bad, but I hate describing people as "So and so from playgroup" "So and so from story time" "So and So from book club" "So and so from the gym" :eyeroll:

I almost forgot to add.....I like picture contests too.

Gonna think on this....Need coffee before I can think straight....

[AshleyMommyto2]

I think we all feel the same way as you about MH! :hula:
Sorry about the MRI they SUCK soo bad I had 3 last year! :pinkbluehug:

[Farah]

OMG you ladies are so creative! I'm in :love: with the recipe swap idea. I think we could totally rock that one!

I also love the picture contests so we'll add more of those, too!!! I like the scrapbook swap, too! How many people would be interested in this?? OMG SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Keep the ideas coming!!! :hula:

[Ashley]

These suggestions are great!! Give us more! LOL!

Also, any ideas on how to help us grow? (Although seriously, at the rate we post.. :hehe:)

Well, I think you can pay to have your google rating moved up, right? I'm not sure how much it costs, though. Maybe would could do a little donation thing to get a bit of cash for that so that when people google mommy sites or ttc, our name will be up at the top! Or maybe it already is, I haven't ever googled it.

Seriously, I feel like I'm making no sense at all today, so if I'm not, forgive me. I didn't get nearly enough sleep lastnight myself.
