Hi there. We are Whitney (left) and Heather (right). Some of you might know us from our other website RookieMoms.com. We are also the authors of The Rookie Moms Handbook. And, like you, we are parents in the East Bay (510, get it?). After five years of parenting in Berkeley, we found no single resource that allows us to find the best things to do with our children on a need-to-know basis. We created 510families.com in the hopes that it will grow into that resource.

About Heather & Whitney

Heather grew up near Cleveland, OH, eating Wonder Bread, Twinkies, and other things that she would never let her children touch. Well, maybe on Halloween. She works as an freelance project manager when she is not project managing her husband and their two sons. She is an enthusiastic user of public transportation, bicycles and compost bins.

Whitney is originally from Los Angeles. She worked at LeapFrog as a marketing manager for many years and now does freelance marketing consulting. She has a son and a daughter and a huge box of costumes that can be enjoyed by any children who come to play with them. She loves to make purses, skirts, and websites.
