About Bretany

Bretany is a homeroom mom for both of her boys (ages 4 and 6) in the Marple Newtown School District. She owns a minivan, she likes pretending to be crafty, and she always volunteers to bake something for every single school party (even though she's a lousy baker). She has also been known to spy on her kids at camp or school and then turn around and tell everyone about it on Facebook.

Before becoming a wife and mother of her two beautiful boys, Bretany worked in the direct marketing department at SAP America. She enjoyed traveling throughout Europe and honeymooned in New Zealand.

Since becoming a mother, her travel destinations are a little closer to home and include Disney World, Nantucket and Ocean City, MD. She can, without a doubt, tell you that those vacations with her kids outshined the rest of the world.

Bretany has been a very active member of the local Marple Newtown MOMS Club Chapter for the past six years. This club has provided her, not only with a very special group of friends, but also the opportunity to write occasionally for their monthly newsletter, which in turn has led her to writing for Marple Newtown Patch.

Bretany is looking forward to writing about being a mother in Marple Newtown, and the roller coaster ride that it is.

Dear Bretany, Thank you so much for posting events for Middletown Free Library! It is really appreciated, but we sometimes have to cancel events or have online registration and need to be able to edit the event listings. Is there any way that I would be able to edit your postings since it can get confusing for Middletown Free Library patrons?

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Hi Erica -
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I'm the calendar editor for the greater Philadelphia Patch region. I can definitely add pictures - not a problem. If you see something without a picture you are welcome to add on as well. The option is open to all.
What events are over or discontinued? I'm happy to delete and update events.
Thanks!

Hi Bretany,

I'm the new Events/Outreach Coordinator at Big Blue Marble Bookstore. I see you've added events for us and I'd love them to go up with photos in the future, because I think it makes the listing more visually appealing. What's the best way to make sure that happens? Can I edit what you've already done?

Also, there are some calendar events listed that have been changed or are no longer taking place. I didn't create them so I don't think I can delete them. Should I talk to you about fixing that?

Thanks,
Erica David
