HI! My name is Michelle. I am a mother of two beautiful children - Austin (20 mos) and Alina (7 mos). I am a full time employee of The Ledger. Needless to say, spare time is almost non-existant. I enjoy spending time with my children, watching them grow and learn so quickly is the best part of my day! I have a wonderful husband whom I met in college. I look forward to "meeting" on this site to discuss the amazing feeling of motherhood. I also would like to set "playdates" for us in the future!

Hi Michelle, Welcome to PolkMoms! What cuties you have! Thank you so much in sharing!

Even though you sound like a very busy mom, I hope you may find time in future to share your parenting joys with us here.

Hey y'all! I just came across this site from seeing it on the Ledger. I had no idea they had message boards. And this is a new board? Neat.

My name is Rachel. Born and raised here in Lakeland. I'm a Christian, just turned 36 a few days ago, been happily married for 17 years and have 2 little boys. I've been a SAHM now for several years, after retiring from Publix. We just decided to put our boys in public school. And I plan on looking for a part time job soon. Maybe a job at their school, if possible.

Nice to 'meet' y'all.

Hi Rachel! I am glad you stumbled across us. The more moms the merrier! Welcome to PolkMoms!

Hi, my name is Alisa live in Lkld, I am 5 days away from giving birth to my 5th child, girl #4 and 1 son. I'm excited about this forum, most of my friends now work and I am leaving my F/T job to stay at home at least P/T. Looking forward to get to know everyone.

Hello Alisa, Congratulations on your upcoming birth. How excited you must be! Keep us posted on how things are going. Welcome to PolkMoms!

I too have found these forums via The Ledger - great idea.

I am a 35 year old mom of two - 3 year old girl, and 1 year old boy.

Hello Albee! I hope that you like what you found here and will frequent us again often in future. Welcome to PolkMoms!

Hi everyone, my name is Kaley. I am a mother of a two year old boy named Zachery. He is my life, the apple of my eye! I have been married almost 8 months, Zachery's father and I have been together for almost 3 years. I was a young mother, but I did not let that stop me in life. I grew up, moved out and carried my life as wife, mother, sister, friend as a normal aged mother. I make the negative into the postive as much as I possibly can. I am a strong willed woman, that knows what she wants and I go for it. I currently am a full time employee, full time student, and can not forget that i am a full time mommy and wife. My family mean the world to me.

Ok, i am done writing a book. But to add, I am excited about this new site, and knowing that all these mothers are from "good ole polk county"... LOL

Talk to you all later.

Kaley, I enjoyed your post very much and I am glad that you grab life by the horns! Good for you. Welcome to PolkMoms and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Thank you Shawn, and I look forward in this new site!

Kudo's to you and the Ledger!

Hi, my name is Trudy. I am a stay home Mom with a home based business and a hard working hubby. I have 2 teens left at home and I have another on weekends, holidays and summers...my daughters bestfriend and my adoptive daughter. The girls are 15 and my son is 18 and about to graduate the end of May. My daughter is homeschooled using FLVS. I stumbled across PolkMoms.com and am so thrilled to be here. We all need support and other Moms to talk to, this is awesome!

Hi Trudy, I agree, I am so glad that there is a place for Polk mothers to get together and exhange hopes and happiness. It is a treat for us all!

I also have a son graduating from highschool this year! It is a lot of work to prepare for isn't it?

Welcome to PolkMoms!

Hi, I am Natalie and I have 3 kids, or as I like to call them, my herd...LOL. I have 2 boys, Christian, who is 9 and Jaden, who is 5 and one girl, Kadence (Kady) who just turned 1. I have been a SAHM for 18 months after my second son was born and currently I have been a SAHM for a year now. I don't have any plans to go back to work this time. I have lived in Lakeland for most my life and I am glad I found this site

Hi Natalie, I am so glad for your family that you are able to be a stay at home Mom. It is a great profession! I look forward to hearing more about your "herd". Welcome to PolkMoms!
