Macnamara- how old are your kids? I've never seen anyone from Joplin on here before! I've got a semester left of nursing school but occasionally have some free time for play dates!

I have a 1 year old.

Where are you going to school?

Sounds like there might be another person moving in!

I live north of Joplin. The schools are good, but I think they are crowded. There were 400 kids in my graduating class and that was 15 years ago.

There are lots of options for housing. People are starting to renovate older homes and fixing up some neighborhoods. Or there are the new subdivisions that are springing up.

Where are you interviewing?

A chiropractors office. (Can't say more yet)... I have interviews in two other states the same week, but like the Joplin position the best.

Dh and I are up for an older home to renovate.

Any midwives doing homebirth in the area?

One of the LLL leaders is doing a homebirth. I think her midwife is from Stockton (which is about 50 miles away). If you'd like, I can ask at the next meeting if they know of anyone else.

There are some great older homes.

Good luck with your interviews!

Ironically no we never moved. And I had *thought* it was off the table then.


Now it appears that it is back *on* the table.

Bumping! I am a Southwest MO girl, smack dab in the middle of the Ozarks region. Unschooling, gardening and all manners of crunchy-ness. Love to meet some like minded folks!

We ended up very far from MO in the end. But who knows what the future will bring!  winky.gif

Hi there!  My family is moving to Pittsburg, KS in the next few weeks and we would love to get together with crunchy families near Joplin.  Originally we are from KC but have been living in metro Detroit.  Now we're headin' back to Kansas!

 

I have a son 3.5 and a daughter 18 months.  Before having kids, I taught at Pittsburg State University and am probably going back to teaching in another year.  In the meantime, we need some playdates!

 

Anyone in Joplin?  Nearby?

HI there!  I'm a Joplin mama.  We moved here from Bowling Green, OH just over a year ago.

 

I have 6 kids; we home school, garden, raise chickens, and were in the tornado just 3 weeks after moving here.
