Welcome to Upstate Moms, a place where mothers from all over the Upstate can meet to learn from each other, vent about those everyday frustrations and laugh when there's no other way to handle a situation.
This is the place where moms can connect, converse and interact with each other to get the most out of motherhood.
My name is Donna Isbell Walker and you'll see me around here a lot. I'm a mom just like you, a working mother (although, really, is there any other kind?). I have a 7-year-old son named Michael, an inquisitive redhead who keeps me on my toes, not to mention on the Internet finding answers to his millions of questions!
I'm looking forward to hearing about your world and your kids — the good, bad and hilarious aspects of being a mom. We hope you'll stop in often and join our discussions.
Have a great parenting tip? Trying to find a baby-sitter or a moms club? You’re in the right place.
This is the place where you can get — and give — information on parenting, children and being a mom. Our online forums provide a safe, secure environment in which you can share your ideas and learn from other moms across the Upstate. On this site you will find out about news, events and activities that enhance your full, active lifestyle.
And, as the official Web site for Upstate Parent, the Upstate’s No. 1 Parenting Resource, you’ll find plenty more, including feature stories, photos and the Upstate Parent Daily Adventures Calendar — the most complete calendar of events in the Upstate for parents and families.
But the information will flow in both directions. We'll incorporate some of the best from UpstateMoms.com into Upstate Parent as well as the Lifestyle Family section of The Greenville News.
While many Upstate Parent writers will contribute to this site, UpstateMoms.com is ultimately about you, and we invite and encourage you to get involved in this new online community.
All of us at UpstateMoms.com, Upstate Parent magazine and The Greenville News look forward to meeting you here.
