Tell us more about you and your blog, The Palm Beach Moms
The Palm Beach Moms started as a closed Facebook group in 2007, Palm Beach Mommas. Instead of texting at 3am the group of fellow new moms we could silently post questions. “Has anyone else ever…” “Will I ever sleep again?” “What questions should I ask when interviewing a nanny?” “I have baby items to donate, where can I drop them” “Do you need a Nanny, message me I have a great one.” Much like the hungry caterpillar it grew and grew so rules had to be laid out. No advertising, fundraising, events, promotions, selling of any kind – despite the many requests. To this day it remains a private haven for over 6,500 local moms to seek comfort, support, and advice.
