Need your help...

I have been working hard on getting the calendar in working order. Now, the next step is just keeping the page active and knowing what to post. That's where you come in. What do you want to see on here? Do you have a question you want asked? Which buffet is the best, best cardiologist..Send me a message and let's find you an answer. Also, as you may have seen on the facebook page. Help me reach 150 "likes" and I will do a contest for a $5 Amazon gift card. And don't forget, to follow this blog so you can see all the updates.

Why this page?

I have started this blog to coincide with the Facebook page.

  My family and I recently moved to Jonesboro, AR (Feb. 2013) from Memphis,TN. Since moving here, I have been on Facebook looking for new groups to join and pages to "like". In Memphis, there were 100s of pages and groups. The 2 that I seem to miss most lately were mommy blogs. Not so much for the parenting tips and such, but because they new about things happening all over town. Now, I can't say that I will be able to know about everything around this new town I am in, but I hope that with everyone's help, we can have a great "go-to" page when we have questions and need answers.
My goals to have posted:

Event happenings - carnivals, festivals, craft shows, block parties...anything!

Deals - Find an awesome deal in a local store? Clearance, coupons etc. let's share about it!

Questions/Answers - When I first moved here, the #1 thing I needed was internet and cable. I wanted reviews and specs and I just couldn't find answers I was looking for...So, let's help each other out. Want to know where the cheapest Miss Me jeans are at,  Which TV antennae works best in this county, Which heart doctor would you recommend...ask, and hopefully we can all get answers!

I have heard alot about Paragould, AR since being here as well, and I would love to include that area too.
