My cousin sent me an invitation on facebook almost a year ago, I don't know how she found it. Funny thing is I use it almost daily, and she is rarely ever on! If it weren't for her I would have probably never found it. I also don't know how I lived witthout it the past 4 years.
How did you come about joining?
I have been here since 2006.
I stumbled upon it...Had no clue what I was getting myself into!
I have only taken a few break due to the fact we went without internet.
What I laugh out loud about is the fact that I keep coming back.
You lady's are my weak spot..sometimes It is annoying...but at the end of the day....I am so glad that I have had the chance to meet and get to know so many amazing women....and men!
I friend tipped me off when my son was born over four years ago. Back when it was Mamasource.
I consider her my "dealer" because I'm an ADDICT now! LOVE this site!
Many moons ago when it was Mamma Source, my SIL sent me an invite to join. Like you, I use it daily and she is never on!
a friend sent me an invite to mamasource....many years ago!
Wow. I have no idea! It was mamasource back then (2006) and....nope. No clue how I found it.
Back in the beginning of 2006, I was looking for information on single parent adoptions, and stumbled across Mamasource (which is what is now Mamapedia)... 'back then', you could only post 2 questions per day! ;)
Fun question! :)
I found a link to it a little over 4 1/2 years ago when it was mamasource while looking for a question on my pregnancy. Didn't find the answer I was looking for... found this site... asked my question and it was answered and I have been coming back ever since.
Sometimes I will take a "leave" for awhile if the questions are becoming to repetitive or the lady's are getting too snotty.... give it a few months break, come back and it seems better. lol
A friend invited me. She's never on here either!
I found it as a link on another website I was on. This was in 2008. Who knows what that was, probably Babycenter woudl be my guess. I clicked on it and was intrigued, at first I didn’t get on a whole lot, but now im obsessed. I typically do short answers because im at work but I am on all the time, sometimes too much also ;-)
You get to feel like you know a lot of the people on here.
When I got started it was called Mamasource also and only 2 questions a day??? I dont rememebr that, but then id have to have many AKA's LOL
.
My SIL turned me on to it 3 or 4 years ago, she doesnt use it either.
A friend found this site and said it was not for her, but she thought I would like it.. She never uses it, but I love it. It was about 4 years ago and yes, it was mamasource.. I love seeing the different regular moms on here..
I would google alot of questions being a first time mom and every single time the first link was mamasource so I decided to cheek out the website and it was mamapedia and I signed up and man has it helped
Thank you to all you wonderful ladies for sharing your knowledge with neewbies like me lol :D
E.<3
I heard about it on a local tv channel.
I used to do phone work at home and a supervisor sent me a link. I don't think she has ever been on but I have ever since. This was way back when it was mamasource. I remember there only used to be a handful of posts a day because it was local. Now, there are pages and pages of new posts everyday, so it takes up much more of my time now, and is never boring!
A very dear friend invited me via the "tree" route (mentioned by Dawn below) -- I was living in Shanghai at the time (2007?), had lots of time to surf the web, the part they are allowed to see. Anyway, I passed on an invite to another friend whose son is autistic. I really have learned a lot & have gotten lots of help/support "out here"
