In The Know…
September 3, 2008 by Caryn
I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing weekend! We were busy as usual catching up with family and friends. My husband sang all weekend at Yorba Linda Friends’ Prophecy Weekend (which was amazingly enlightening) so much of our time was spent at church. My friend and guest blogger Kristin hosted an A-Mazing Greek dinner extravaganza with food that was beyond words. Our little boy got his first hair cut and we found out that one of my really good friends is expecting her first baby! Oh…and did I mention that we’re buying a house? With that here is the best from around the web!

Social Networking is all the rage (it’s how I have developed fabulous friendships and business relationships). Facebook? MySpace? No way! That’s sooo yesterday! Here you’ll find women/mommy-focused groups for all walks of life from all over the country. I can’t begin to cover all of them but I’ve listed my favorites.
