MOMS INSPIRE, SHARE AND SHOWCASE AREA TRENDS

Toledo, OH, November 10, 2011 – Inspire, showcase, encourage and share are the key words for the new group formed by six moms that felt their community needed a collective voice.  The Social Parent Network will offer engaging conversations that will showcase trends, events and businesses.

SPN (Social Parent Network) thought that it would be really cool for women in our area to come together and just do what we as women do best…share.  These moms initially met through their other social networks that include blogs, events and their own businesses.  They began meeting once a month just to encourage each other in business, sharing contacts and brainstorming ways they could be a resource to their community.

“We are a group of six moms coming together to promote and showcase area happenings and trends. Our mission is to share our real opinions as we discover various products, places, and trends that are girlfriend, date night and family friendly!”

The Social Parent Network is diverse in their backgrounds, family makeup and their views. With this group, we are sure that there will be interesting topics, reviews and discussions.  The Social Parent Network can be viewed on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and thesocialparentnetwork.com.

Their very first review will be a new cosmetic boutique called Face Junky in Perrysburg, OH.  Face Junky has invited them to try out some cool products and they can’t wait to support this new area business!

Meet The Ladies:

Jen is an Ohio native in her early thirties, married, and mother of 2. She enjoys a good deal, a good book, and the love and support she receives from her family. She has a deep hatred for cooking, yard work and dirt. A true mompreneur at heart, she has made a career living out her passion for saving with www.DailyDealsforMoms.com . She lives by the serenity prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. When not found seeking the next best deal, she can be found caring for her family in Genoa, Ohio.

 

Jayme is a 30-something mom, blogger, wife and aspiring social media maven. She has been known to sing instead of talking and break out in dance, with jazz hands, at any given moment. While she is not at her day job at an IT Company you can find her blogging at www.randomblogette.com about her sitcom-like life and encouraging all women to embrace their womanly bodies. If that isn’t enough to make her want to collapse she is also a contributor at Off The Deep End. She needs a nap and a coffee IV stat.

 

Yiesha (pronounced I + E+SHA) is a Midwest chic who’s 30 something, married, a mom, innovator and a serial vegetarian. She hates bugs, loves to recycle, travel, frequent resale shops and produce events. She has a slight addiction for shoes, boutiques, fresh markets and the usage of periods (.). She owns and runs www.humilityproject.com and www.toledobaby.com. When she’s not trying to invent or create new things, her other drug of choice is to encourage other women to follow their dreams. Yiesha’s truth? “I never want to live a life where I said woulda, shoulda, coulda…just do it…the worst thing that can happen is that you’ve failed…but then again, if you’ve learned from it have you really failed? Experience always leads you to something better!” Warning: So if you don’t want to live out your purpose don’t approach her…she’ll want to push you into your destiny!

 

Lisa, the youngest of The Social Parent Network, is the ultra-optimistic soon to be mother of 2. She is the co-creator of www.MomsInHeels.net and enjoys sharing her spontaneous & generally embarrassing moments with her readers. People often get annoyed with her because she lacks the ability to make any type of decision but its just part of her laid back personality. If you want to hear for yourself you can listen to Moms In Heels live every Wednesday on the Andrew Z In The Morning radio show. Aside from all that, Lisa tries to encourage other women to make time for themselves, I mean let’s be honest, all you really need is a little mascara & a pair of stilettos

 

Brandi is a thirtyish year old mom who is in love with her double ds- husband, Denny and 3 year old son, Dylan. She is perfectly content sitting back and exploiting her unsuspected family on a blog she co-created, www.MomsInHeels.net. Until that pays the bills though she applies her MBA at a local charter high school. When not giving her son the prince treatment she loves to read murder mysteries and no substance magazines, watch reality tv, and cheer. Don’t make me spirit sprinkle you. Basically, Brandi is just a mom attempting to navigate gracefully in a good pair of heels.
