As Families.com is growing, we thought it would be fun for families to be able to find, network with and make friends with other families in their area. These families could talk about local issues, local events, local support groups, local politics and other issues specific to that location. These families could share reviews of restaurants, doctors, schools, politicians, parks and other businesses. We thought it would be nice to know which businesses and services other families liked and disliked. These families could provide reviews of local entertainment, culture and other attractions for other families who might take a vacation to that area. The families could have online garage sales or give away hand-me-down items to other families in the area who might be able to use them. These families could form local support groups, get together and go out to lunch (keeping safety issues in mind), or come together to support a local good cause.

This is our vision for the Families.com Local area. We encourage everyone to start off by introducing themselves on their local forum. Share whatever you feel comfortable and appropriate. What do you like to do for fun? Tell us about your family. Why do you come to Families.com? What kind of friends would you like to meet? What are your favorite things about the area where you live? What are your least favorite? Where is your absolute favorite place to eat? Help us start this local support and networking forum in your area.

Hello everyone my name is Donna, I am 37 years old. I have 2 children. both are boys, DJ is 10 and Devyn is 7 yrs.old.. I have been with my fiance for almost 2 yrs. and we are scheduled to be married on 05/19/07. I currently attend Arkansas Beauty School and will graduate sometime in November of this year. We live in a small town in north central Arkansas called Quitman. There is nothing to do here we have to drive either to Heber Springs, Searcy, or Conway. The biggest highlight of our exciting life is going to Wal-Mart or Hastings. We do get a chance to go to the movies or something like a date every once in awhile . Marcus is my fiance and he works the night shift and works 12 hour shifts but he gets to be off a week at a time, he works a week then off a week so the only time we really get to spend together is on his off week. Both of my boys are involved in sports so we usually always have some kind of game to attend. I really enjoy just spending a quiet night at home watching a movie or something but that seldom happens. Right now it's rather hectic due to planning the wedding, this is my first wedding therefore I'm trying really hard for everything to be like I always wanted it. It's going to be very beautiful, it's at a resort with log cabins. The background is a working waterwheel with 2 blooming red rose ushes. We will be staying there for our honeymoon in one of their suites for couples, it has a fireplace and a hot tub in the room. I'm so excited. Anyway that's enough about me for now. Hope to be hearing from someone soon. Later
