About Metroplex Baby &
Kids
 Metroplex
Baby & Kids founders and sisters, Barbara Arnondin and Tina Wysk
are parents, meet and talk with thousands of parents one-on-one each
year, and appear weekly in their Parenting Trends segment on
CBS 11 News, Channel 11 TV. Both grew up
in Dallas-Fort Worth and, once they became moms, the Metroplex became a large
unknown. They spent hours flipping through the phone book and searching
the internet for the best baby products and deals, as well as for
activities for their kids. They did not find any of the available
directories useful, as they list only paid advertisers instead of giving
the "full scoop." After constantly remarking "why isn't there a web site
that lists all this information," they decided to start Metroplex
Baby & Kids. Barb
used the experience she gained from having owned and operated her own
business, and Tina employed the skills she had attained from a 10 year
career working in Dallas and New York City for Fortune 500 companies.
They launched MetroplexBaby.com in 2005 and it quickly became the
favorite centralized resource for parents in Dallas-Fort Worth, with a
current newsletter readership of over 20,000 parents and a Facebook fan
base exceeding 12,000.
Metroplex Baby & Kids specializes in event planning and promotion.
Through its unique
MetroMoms Events Program, Metroplex Baby & Kids
produces and hosts an average of 5-6 events per month, ranging from
exclusive events with national experts, to large expos. Metroplex Baby &
Kids has been retained to produce dedicated events for Cookie
Magazine, Staples, bugaboo, Silver Cross, Stride Rite, Born Free, Safety 1st, phil&teds,
Balloon Time and several other leaders in the juvenile industry.
