This is a group for 1st time moms and dads living on the Peninsula who want to come together and explore this new chapter in life with other new moms and dads.

My wife and are starting this not knowing what to expect so be patient :) 2. Your child should be born 8/2012-4/2013 …

The Parents Wisdom Network is a growing community of supportive parents who want to get in touch with their higher selves to become the best parents they can be....living happy and stress-free lives to better connect with their children a …

I am a stay at home mother of two boys and an fledgling entrepreneur. I needed to come up with a creative way to be productive while at the same time taking care of my kids. I decided to create a baby sitting co-op for those of us who run businesses from home. We will meet at places that are kid friendly (our homes, play cafes, etc) where assigned mompreneurs or dadpreneurs watch the kiddies while others work. The schedule rotates, so everyone has an opportunity to get work done. Parents can not …

"Cashflow" seems to be a thing of the past for so many...yet there are Trillions of dollars in Retirement accounts losing money, or earning returns in the single-digits. When you consider the average individual expects to retire by age 65, will single-digit returns afford a comfortable retirement? It's about time we as Americans opened our eyes to the reality that the old plan of "saving" just isn't working! Too many retirees are back to work, and that trend is just going to get worse. What can …
