Mansfield Moms--Patch Wants You!

Calling all moms--help Mansfield Patch help you.

Most people know the old adage, If Mom isn’t happy, no one is happy.  Patch is taking this to heart, and starting a new feature called Momsday.

Momsday will take place each Wednesday, beginning in a modified form this week.

Momsday will feature special deals, a mother’s column, an issue pertinent to mothers in Mansfield, an article on a local “Whiz kid” (Has your child done something fun/interesting/outstanding?) and a special planner to make your weekend event calendar easier.

In order to provide you with interesting and useful content, we need one important thing—Y-O-U!  While your children may not listen when you speak, Patch is ready and willing to hear your ideas and get you involved in the process. We know each of you has varying needs and levels of commitment they can bring to the table and we hope to find a place for you here at Mansfield Patch. How can you get involved?

Do you love to write? Would you like to share your stories or ideas with other moms? Are you always chatting about your kids on Facebook? Do you have a blog? None of the above, but you always wanted to do something like this? Then look no further and contact us. We want you for our Mansfield Mom column. (Once you start, the name will be up to you). Share your story and join our team.

Listen to me when I talk

What if you don’t want to write but want the site to feature more items that are useful for your daily life? Do you have opinions or ideas, but don’t have a lot of time to implement them? Leave the work up to us; we just want your opinion. Join our Mansfield Moms Council. We are looking for a small group of mothers (or fathers) to help us with the issues that you face every day. This could be as simple as letting others know the best math tutor in town, or as complex as to how you would like to see the school budget spent.

Love to Shop?

We are looking for a local bargain hound. Think of your friend that always knows the best deals, places to shop and where to get a bargain. Maybe that friend is you—regardless of who she is—we want her! Each week we will feature five of the best deals in town for mothers and families and our Mansfield shopper will find them for us. Imagine—being the first to get the deals and then sharing them with your friends?

We hope these features will enhance your life and make planning your day easier. We hope you will be able to visit Mansfield Patch and find the news and information you need to plan your week, engage with your neighbors and see at a glance what is happening for moms like you around town.
