I'm in a small town an hour south of Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was raised in New Brunswick and lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba for a number of years as an adult. We moved back to the Maritimes because we wanted to raise our kids here.
Originally from So Cal, grew up there and also NC, northern VA, and spent time in Philly and Arizona. Back in San Diego now...right where I'm supposed to be!
Dayton, OH.. Go Bucks!
Dad was AF and we moved lots of places, then ended up in rural southern OH with mom's family after the divorce. The biggest irony is that I moved to be with DH when we married, and I now live a mile from the AF base I was born in!
I was born at Wright Pat too!
Dad was in the AF so I don't have a place I'm from. But I currently live in central IL where my parents grew up. We moved here after Dad retired and my husband is from here. So we are here so Dominic can grow up around his grandparents.
I'm closest to you BuckNuts... I lived in Toledo for several years, but am further SE now. I could host a central location for OH & PA (well, the Pennsyltucky half... sorry Philly), perhaps VA & MD ladies... Oh, and couldn't leave out @lizgrace03 and @lisaren in NC! Wasn't there someone else from KY, too?
Born in Mississippi, raised in rural SW Ohio (halfway between Dayton and Cincinnati). I moved out to Los Angeles for college and basically stayed. We live near Long Beach in south LA county.
Born and raised in Olympia, WA with a small stint in New Brunswick, Canada. I've lived in a few other spots in WA, and had a couple short stints in CA. But have been enjoying CO now for just over 3 years.
@Singingmama10 where at in NW Indiana? I born and raised there too. Portage to be exact.
I lived in Orlando for 1 year right after college. Then Indianapolis for 3 years, Lincoln Nebraska for 4 years and currently South Bend Indiana for the past 2 years.
I keep leaving Indiana and it keeps pulling me back.

@MrsG1019 Sweet! I live down near Qualcomm stadium, close to La Mesa. My name is carved on the Oceanside pier (thanks grandma!). I have family in Carlsbad and San Clemente.
How neat! You're close! I had Jacob at Kaiser Zion and we are in that area often. Where did you deliver? Also, Gotta ask.. Did grandma pay for one of those professionally engraved names on there or did she take a swiss army knife to the pier herself?
@jillybean7582 I also grew up in Portage!. I went to Bethel College in Mishawaka. Small world . I now live in Dyer, but have quite a few friends still in the South Bend area. Gotta say... when I was a kid I always made fun of boring old IN but now I love it!
@Singingmama10 that is crazy we grew up in the same hometown. What year did you graduate HS? I was 2001. I am mobile so your avatar is small but I don't think I recognize you so I am guessing we weren't in school together.
We actually live in Mishawaka now just figured South Bend was a more recognizable city to other Indiana people. My company actually does a lot of work for Bethal College so I know it well.
@jillybean7582 I graduated in '02 but you're right didn't go to Portage HS. I went to a small private school in South Haven. grew up a block away from the Lure though (which is now closed) are you familiar with it?
@MrsG1019 That is super close to me! We should meet up sometime! I delivered at Sharp Mary Birch. They were great. About the pier, it's one of the legit carvings! When they built that pier, my grandma donated the money to have our family's names carved on it. There are 14 of us I think. I love visiting that pier and checking on my name!
Definitely!! @Kllopez1221 is close too (just north of me) so we should definitely have a SoCal mommy meet up!

I was born and raised in Halifax, NS and in July we moved to Bridgewater! We love NS and wouldn't want to live any place else!
@Singingmama10 yes I am familiar with the Lure. We lived behind Willowcreek and Aylesworth, about 4 blocks down from the old little league fields. My parents live in Chesterton now though.
I love all my Northern California Mamas! <:-P
My home is Carmel, CA but I moved to San Jose about 10 years ago for my career. I hope to move back home before Caleb starts school.
Carmel is GORGEOUS. Were you there when Clint Eastwood was the mayor?!
All of these places are giving me itchy feet to travel...

Re: GTKY: where are you from?
What part are you in @LivInCA? I'm in Oceanside.
Dad was in the AF so I don't have a place I'm from. But I currently live in central IL where my parents grew up. We moved here after Dad retired and my husband is from here. So we are here so Dominic can grow up around his grandparents.
I have also lived in Southbridge, MA and New Bern, NC and loved them both!
