Networking

Attention Disco Mammas and Daddies! We are not using this tribe to its full potential. What we need is to co-op and help eachother out as fellow parents. We all of course want the occasional munchkin-free night out with just ourselves or with our partner. Sometimes this is not as easily achievable as we would like it to be! I know at least for me and Jason, our list of reliable sitters is dwindling. We had a great resource and they moved out of town. All sets of grandparents/aunts and uncles live out of state. So I will get this ball rolling: If any of you would like to spend an occasional child free Friday or Saturday night, please do not hesitate to message either Jason or myself. We would be glad to help, and may ask you to return the favor. So parents lets get together and put this tribe to use! Also,as a side note, summer is coming and there are various events such as Burning Man regionals and Phoenixfest in the works. If anybody is planning to attend these and maybe is hesitant either because of lack of childcare or concerned about bringing a child to these events; maybe we can all camp together wih our kids and families and everyone has a chance to have fun, with and without our kids.

    I agree. Our family relations live out of town too, and we almost never get to slip away...especially together.

    We also don't know that many other parents in town that we relate too... But being Disco Mamas and Papas narrows the playing field. =)

      heh:) I agree... I am usually pretty chill on Saturday nights.... Even though its the big night everyone goes out, I usually end up spending the evening at home w/Grace (unless it is an event I can bring her to). So, perhaps Saturday trades can be our first attempt?

        That would be awesome man. Also this summer I know we are going to be bbqing again at our place and we are totally welcome to people bringing their children.

          BBQ sounds GREAT!

          We've got a big backyard with lot's of trees and great firepit... and sound too.
          My partner has been dreaming up a campout/party for some time. Summer fun.

          We've thrown a few full moon gatherings at our pad.

          nice to connect with you all.
