Happy Birthday! Okay, maybe it’s not YOUR birthday, but we are thrilled to be celebrating two years since the day we officially launched Twin Cities Familys Blog! It’s not nearly enough to say how much we’ve fallen in love with this community.
Just three months before our official launch a friend and I officially said “yes” to starting a local website in our area. As we got to work building the site our team, what we hoped for was a community of moms, supporting each other, encouraging one another and getting out in person to meet face to face, rather than behind the computer. We wanted to be that one stop shop resource for moms in the area, not only keeping them in touch with what’s happening in the community, but making sure they had the support they needed as a mom. What has grown from those dreams is more than I ever could have imagined. Our Facebook community has grown this year and we love seeing you engage on our Facebook page. Not only that, but in 15 neighborhood groups around the metro, more than 4,400 local moms are engaging daily, asking each other for advice relevant to their corner of the Twin Cities and meeting up monthly to grow their neighborhood community.
In 2015, we held 13 events, more than half of those just for YOU, no kids, and I personally love seeing moms take time for themselves to recharge and remember that there is still someone amazing behind the mom caring for her family. Last night we held our first of many events for 2016 and we hope to see you in the coming months – we’re planning some spectacular things for you this year!
This year, our hope is to do more of exactly what we’ve been doing. Providing you with resources, articles and perspective pieces by our writers, events that allow you a chance to either recharge, or grow as a parent, and to connect you with our community. We have loved showcasing some of the area’s best local businesses and will continue to discover even and let you know all about them. You can keep up with us around town on Instagram, and follow us on Facebook for loads of articles and updates every day.
We spent this birthday week celebrating with local GIVEAWAYS! We want you to get spoiled rotten, so be sure to enter our giveaways from some amazing woman-owned local businesses this week – find them all HERE. If you haven’t checked these out yet, you definitely don’t want to miss out on these prizes!
We’re also growing our team right now! If you have a passion for our community and the moms within it, take a peek and see if it might be that risk you’ve been looking to take. We’d love to hear more voices from the moms of the Twin Cities…will you join us? With over 1.3 Million page views last year, we can promise your voice will be heard!
Happy Birthday to you, Twin Cities! We are more than excited for what’s to come this year and can’t thank you enough for the community you’ve helped us build over the past two years!
