"That’s one thing parenting is generous with: second chances."
Who We Are
We're moms, dads, grandparents, and caretakers in the Morganton, NC community looking to welcome new families to the area, connect those living here to increase the strength of our community, and lend a helping hand to anyone who needs parenting in the foothills of North Carolina to be just a bit easier.
Like most projects, this site started out of necessity. Too often, we heard "I didn't know that" or "I can't find _____" or "Do you know anyone who ______". We decided that had to change.
That's who we are. Whoever you are, welcome.
Your family is our family. Our squad is your squad.
News, information, shared experiences that help keep you sane.
Because it ALWAYS takes a village.
Who's in charge around here?
