Des Moines At Home Dad's Group Organizes

Bill Ekhardt's picture

This morning we had an organizational meeting with 10 at-home dads here in Des Moines. We're putting up a website to begin getting the word out at http://DesMoinesDads.com. Someone with six years experience as an At-Home Dad stepped up to get things organized. I had hoped when I came back from the National Convention to try to gather a few people together. Life was more challenging than I anticipated. I am pleased that someone else gave the time and energy to pull this together.

UTAH Stay at Home Dads

UT Dad's picture

Welcome to the first stay at home Dad group in Utah.

Our purpose is to connect stay at home dads. We appear to be a rare commodity when I'm known as "The Stay at Home Dad" in my entire neighborhood. Doesn't seem to matter when that was Sugarhouse or now in Daybreak.

I know you're out there and have been lucky enough to meet up with a few recently.

Feel free to check out the following link for more details.
