Mom It Forward

Mom It Forward is the newest trend in mom groups and makes giving back fun, sociable, accessible, and stylish—the new “in crowd” of moms where "mom" is a verb. Not only is it fun, fosters friendships, but it is all for a good cause—serving others and teaching our children to give as well.

The Mom It Forward mission is "to change the world one mom at a time." We will achieve that by 1) strengthening women, 2) helping them become the best moms they can be, and 3) providing ideas, opportunities to, and recognition for carry(ing) out the Mom It Forward mission in small and large ways, locally as well as internationally.

Make and Takes

Make and Takes is a blog (http://makeandtakes.com), featuring kid's crafts, party ideas, hands-on learning ideas, and much more. Blog author, Marie LeBaron, says: "My sisters and I often get together and they usually get to go home with something I’ve brought for us to make together. There’s been magnets, felt books, pillows, cards, you name it. My brother-in-law Brian always teases me and says, “What did you Make and Take today?” But I really do like to create and am always coming up with new and fun things to do. I also love to share these exciting finds—hence the Make and Take."

Marie's blog is a compilation of what she's learned as both an elementary-school teacher and a mother. It is a tremendous resource for moms everywhere!
