September 11, 2006

Over the last few years, you’ve been given snapshots of our lives through our newsletters.  Now we want to get to know you!  Do/Did You Know (aka DYK) threads are so insanely popular around iVillage and we’ve brought one to the Pregnancy & Parenting CL Team board.  Stop by, throw up your little bits of info and see how many people share that common link!  DYK CL style - http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ivparenting/?msg=5149.1

 

Would you like to join the Secret Angel Squad?  This is a great way to help make our community even more wonderful!  For more information - http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ivparenting&msg=5146.1&ctx=0

 

Join Gina with answering 10 questions - http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ivparenting&msg=5127.1&ctx=0

 

Welcome to the team!  We’re trying things a little differently with our new CLs.  Check out the CL team board to see what new CLs have joined the team.  A new list goes up in the top folder each time we name!  Our new CLs in August are listed now - http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ivparenting&msg=5126.1

 

And finally, we’ve started a Brainstorm of the Week.  Every week we’re going to pose a problem that we’ve encountered and ask that you share your experience in dealing with it.  This week we’re talking about building community - http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ivparenting&msg=5165.1&ctx=0.  Stop by and share your tips and tricks or take a peek at the others!  If you have a brainstorm you’d like to see, please e-mail pclmail@mail.ivillage.com!

 

Stop by the CL Team board for some fun and relaxation! http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ivparenting/
