As a mom I was constantly looking for ways to entertain my two year old son, and in August 2010 I wanted to offer other moms a weekly update on family friendly events, and toddler/preschooler appropriate activities happening around Marin, CA. I also wanted to suggest venues for play dates, and share my knowledge of local restaurants from a parent's point of view.
The Marin Scoop begun as a weekly newsletter to my mommy friends who wanted to be informed about specific weekend and weekly activities in our local area in a fun and visual way. Word began to spread and I realized that I needed to change the format to a blog so other parents could access the information, resulting in this blog being launched in August 2010.
The blog has evolved into a weekly lifestyle magazine featuring children's products, home decor focusing on children's rooms and other inspirational style ideas for the home, in addition to either a weekly restaurant review or play date idea. I like to support local small businesses and enjoy interviewing mompreneurs to help spread the word about their product or service.
I recently gave birth to a baby daughter so developing a Weekly Baby Calendar to help other moms find more infant friendly activities in the area and ways to reach out to other moms through Mom support groups.
