Michele

Hello! I am Michele and this is my son Owen and we will be heading the urban mommy section of Girl About Philly. We are here to help all of Philly's urban mommies seek out the fabulous family-friendly fun that our great city has to offer. We are always on the move looking for the best gear, the cutest clothes, the most fabulous activities and of course places for mommy and baby to unwind. Owen has no problem listing his picks and pans for his 16 months of Philly experiences. He loves a cold sippy cup of milk, soft pretzels, a good board book and showing everyone his belly. I am a coffee addict who works away from home 3 days a week and is always looking for new and exciting adventures to share with Owen...while attempting to stick to a budget!

I've been living in Philly for almost 5 years and am thrilled to be starting a site dedicated to all the Girls about Philly especially those trying to balance a cup of coffee while toting a diaper bag, pushing a stroller and passing goldfish and sippy cups to the newest addition to their fabulous urban lives.

Meredith

I'm Meredith, though that's not my first name. I keep my first name semi-secret for all the CIA missions I go on. I grew up all around the world after being recruited as a secret service agent as an infant and sent off to Europe to spy on their playgrounds.

I moved to Philly at the beginning of 2005 to investigate the Eagles, mummer strutting and extensive research on soft pretzels. I'll be using my crazy CIA skills to discover all that makes up daily life in Philly and pass on what I find out here, as well as making sure all the most wanted fashions I actually see on people on the street are posted here for all to admire. So if you see some crazy lady stalking down the street, tapping people on the shoulder and shouting "Where did you get those shoes? H&M? I LOVE YOU!", that's me.

Erin

Hi, I'm Erin, the only Girl About Philly whose name does not begin with M! As the shopping and dining/nightlife editor, I'll bring the best ways to fill your bellies and empty your wallets in Philadelphia. I love British period films, French lounge music, oversized handbags and hot dogs - the kind on a bun and the kind that bark.

I'm a Philly native, raised in the 'burbs but a city girl at heart. We're here to help other women like us live a comfortable life in the city...and have a little fun along the way!

Megan!

Hi. I am Megan and I will be heading the culture file and a little bitchin' sections of Girl About Philly. I am exceptionally well versed in bitching. I am addicted to cheesy chick lit, strawberry sorbet, seltzer, haircuts and dirty punk rock boys.

I've been living in Philly for 2 years and am excited to start a blog with my ladies about all the fabulous things that Philly has to offer.

Welcome to Girl About Philly!

Introducing Girl About Philly, a lifestyle guide to all things fabulous in Philly. Our goal is to report on the following topics: culture file, nightlife/dining, on street style, shopping, adventures in daily life, urban mommy, and our personal favorite, a little bitchin'.
