Moms want to know, “Which schools are the best? Which dentist/doctor should I go to? Who is the best allergist? Which store sells ballet shoes and is open late?”

Introducing our Team
Abbie Alter
Founder of Plano Moms
Hi, I’m Abbie, I moved to Plano from London, England with a Toddler and a 1st grader back in 2013. I love sharing all the things to do, places to go and family fun I enjoyed as my kids grew up in Plano and Collin County.
When I’m not operating my Mom taxi, I love to consult with local businesses, volunteer, create content, play Mahjong, work out and read (when I find the time)

Mel Beaumont
Email Editor
Hi! I’m Mel. I moved to Dallas with my husband and 3 kids from Sydney, Australia at the end of 2013. When I’m not on the sidelines of the soccer field cheering on my oldest son, my family loves to get out and explore all that Texas and the USA have to offer.
We love road trips and camping and all things travel and get away as often as we can.
I keep busy with volunteering at my kids’ schools and in my community and love working with Plano Moms!

Cassie Clair
Social Media
I’m Cassie, a mom of four with kids in middle school, elementary, and pre-k. I’m married to Ryan, the brave soul who jumped into this circus when we were both Starbucks baristas in high school.
You’ll often find me galavanting around town, on the hunt for fun things to do, new places to discover, and entertainment that’s actually worth it.
I’m all about laughter! If you spot me out in the wild, chances are I’ll be in yoga pants, hair doing its own thing, and wrangling my crew of kids.
Amanda Hein
Sales Executive
My name is Amanda, and I was born and raised in Texas! I owned my own business in the education field for 12 years, so I understand the many roles that business owners often juggle. I am thrilled to help fellow business owners grow their ventures with Plano Moms!
I grew up in Arlington, where I met my husband of 17 years. Together, we have three children: Remington, Sullivan, and McKenna. We love raising our kids in the DFW area, as there is always something to do.
We love to promote Local Businesses and Organizations! Get in touch with us so we can tell you more about what we do
