Thank you members!
We live in a great neighborhood. Still, I’ve been inclined to lock the side door more often, though admittedly, not consistently. I put the toddler down to nap and ran around the house doing all my picking up and putting away. Today included beginning to train the dog to use only one corner of the yard for her ‘business’. I had the treats, I had the will to stand near the fenced off corner giving positive commands, “Tinkle!” and “Poop!” while she sat on her rear, looking up at me, expecting treats.
Okay, so I gave up. And headed back inside.
You see where this is going, right? I locked myself out of the house. Luckily my neighbor was home and she gave me a lift… through our bathroom window.
Luckily, the kid hadn’t awoken from her nap yet. And the dog tinkled and pooped all around the other half of the yard. And so I continued where I left off: picking up and putting away.
What did you do today?
What’s your favorite parent blog? Fiercely loyal readers? Trendsetters? That’s who will help us get the word out.
Post your most read blog here! I’ll approach them and let them know we’re here!
This is exciting to be launching an online group like this. I look forward to hearing about new families being created through this community and how it has changed lives. Selfishly, I am excited about finding a new surrogate family (grandmother, grandfather, even local surrogate aunts and uncles) for myself, my husband and my daughter. It’s just time.
Thank you for taking a look at this site and letting me know via email of any issues you encounter, or improvements you see possible that would make this community better. I think this concept has a lot of potential and am hopeful for good things to happen as a result. Email me feedback at: feedback@surrogategrandparenting.com. I’ll make as many changes as I can throughout the month of April and we’ll try to launch in May. And no, that’s not an April Fool’s Day joke. However, Happy April Fool’s Day! Which reminds me, I need to make sure my Announcement includes “a good sense of humor” in it.
Welcome to the family,

The past two Wanted posts: solved! Thank you!
…for the Disclaimer and the Background check… I’m on a shoestring budget once again… and would love if an early reader of SurrogateGrandparenting.com could/would help us out.

Thank you!
My deadline has been pushed back, as I firm up legal/disclaimer terminology, and remember to hit Post Topic instead of Cancel (which would save me tons of time not retyping a post yet again). I’m looking at a mid-March review week, time for me to implement the changes that I can, then a launch date by, hopefully, April 2!
I am in need of a graphic designer to create a poster (8.5×11 inches) in Word and pdf form that a family can download, print and post/distribute locally should there not be families in their area. I’d prefer it to be on one poster. I have some ideas but appreciate a professional’s eye and expertise. *limited* funds for this job, if any. Perhaps a new member-family with skills?
If you can help, email family@surrogategrandparenting.com.
Thanks!
… or maybe a reality TV show. Either way, it’s a blast. Today I heard
“Donut Not”
which became
“Do Not ????”
Then I tried
“Do Not Dut”
became
“????? Duck?”
became
“Donald Dut”
I figured out
“Donald… Duck”
which became
“Donald Duck!!!”
She’s two and I’m learning to guess in context.
