History

Mommymoon Network, Inc. began in June of 2007 with a small basket program, later named Mommymoon Baskets, which was started by Meg Schlagenhauf.  As the basket program grew and Meg saw other needs in the mothering community, ideas for new programs were born.  Early in 2008, Meg was joined by Leticia Latinovich, who soon became an integral part of the program.  Together, they founded Mommymoon Network, Inc. in June of 2008.  Meg and Leticia continue to serve on the board of directors as well as managing the day-to-day activities of the organization with Jen Soline and Krista Julian.
