Hi ladies,
I am new to the boards, I need mommy interaction and figured what's better than some local ladies! I am Amanda, a mommy to Katelyn 10, Nolan 17 months, and my "step son" Ethan 11 who lives with us full time. I work full time outside of the home and also work as a Independent Consultant for a smell good direct sales business. I am hoping soon I can be a stay at home Mommy as we all miss out on a lot with both parents workin full time outside of the home. I grew up in Ferndale and my fiance Matthew grew up in Brighton. We bought our house in Ferndale a few years ago and Matthew is still learning the area. We enjoy being outside as much as possible as a family between going up to Clair to the cabin or walking around the neighborhood. I LOVE photography, and editing, lately I have been doing it more and offering it up for friends. I am doing a friends wedding in April (I am scared!!!) but it has been a passion for many years.
If anyone knows of any play groups that meet on the weekends PLEASE let me know.
Re: New to the boards / Ferndale Gal
hi welcome to the board!
i also grew up in ferndale. my parents live there still but i live in southfield now.
not sure of any play groups near by sorry but maybe the ymca in royal oak would be helpful.
Thank you, I never would have even thought of checking into the YMCA.
Congrats on Baby! As well as your upcoming wedding! Do you know what you are having?
Thank you! baby was a surprise and popped up in the middle of wedding planning. We are having a little girl: Madelynn Grace. We are going today for a 4D ultrasound- SUPER excited for that!!
Did you go to Ferndale HS/what year did you graduate?
There's also the Ferndale community center... i'm just tossing that out there because i don't know for sure if they do anything like that or not. and maybe the boys and girls club in royal oak?
Sometimes the girls on the boards get together. i know a couple months back they all got together at the zoo.
Welcome to the board! I live in Madison Heights - maybe we can meet up at a park for a playdate for our sons. My son is 20 months old (and another son that is 5 months old).
Welcome Sounds like we have alot in common
I am a full time stay at home mommy by day and run my own business as a photographer on evenings and weekends. ( my Studio space is actually in Ferndale)lol
I have been following my dream and passion for photography and could not be happier- good luck on your journey!
