It was a whirlwind trip, less than 24-hours drive back to the Dallas 'burbs just two weeks after we'd traveled there for a family reunion. But, how often do you get an offer of a free night's stay at an amazing family resort in a free new loaner car with ...

I've alluded to some future writing/blogging opportunities that are on my horizon. I hesitate to speak of this openly or to name said opportunities, until they actually happen. I'm superstitious like that. In fact, I drive my husband crazy because I'm constantly saying things like, "Oooh, you've totally cursed it. ...

In some ways, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger of two kids just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance.
