I will start if off with me...

I am 39 and 6 months away from 40!
YIKES!! But actually I am looking forward to my 40's
I am a mother to two boys.. One is 7 and One is 15
we live in Allen and have been here a few years.
We moved from Bixby Oklahoma which is where my Flower shop still resides and I go travel back and forth to run major holidays and end of the month..
Other than that my girls take care of the rest.
I have had the shop 15 years now and looking back can remember when I first started and it was just me doing everything.. Designing, bookwork and delivering.. So It is exciting and very rewarding to see the growth over the years..
I am married and it has been 9 years with my second husband and alot of tough roads.. We moved here for his career and he recently was laid off from that job and let me tell you in Corporate america when you lose your job it feels like a Mafia hit. We are just starting to get past all that and he is now working again.. But not in the field he belongs in because of a non-compete he signed and remains active for one year after you leave the company.. well anyway that is my story well in short form but feel free to ask anything you like...

Hi, My name is Jenny. I'm a 30 yr old SAHM in Frisco, TX. I have been married for 11 yrs. I have a 10 yr old DD & a 6 (almost 7) yr old DS. We have lived in Frisco for 5 yrs now. But it's time for a bigger house. I have been thinking about going back to work, but having no real training or education, I don't think any job I get would be cost effective. I do love staying at home though. Usually I am very active in at the school & with PTA, but I took this year off. I love PC & video games and reading, especially romance. (I hear you Monica). I just got done reading Bridget Jones' Diary for the umpteenth time, and just starting Edge of Reason again. I love movie trivia. I guess I'm kind of a geek. That's what my DH tells me anyway. Looking for more hobbies. I feel like I'm the only person I know not into scrapping booking. Lord knows I've tried it, I just can't get into it. So if anyone has any suggestions... Well that's me in a nutshell.

Hello, my name is Lori, and I live in Plano, TX.  Glenn and I have been married for 11 years, and we have three daughters:  Danielle (17), Kathryn (16), and Renee (11).  I am 40 years old (not that bad Linda!) and am not ashamed to say so.  I am originally from Texas...lived in Farmersville most of my life, and joined the Army right out of high school.  Spent three years there, then came back home!
I started homeschooling Renee in January after some frustrating years with the public school system.  I don't regret it at all!  Also, I sell Cookie Lee Jewelry to help pay the bills!  I also help run a Cold Laser Therapy Center with a friend of mine to help people stop smoking and lose weight.  Check it out:  www.coldlasersolutions.com.  It works!
I love to exercise and try to get outside as much as I can.  I also get my girls outside as much as possible.  I love to read almost anything, too!  Right now I'm reading Prince Caspian, but like almost anything except for fantasy.
Oh, and in case you're wondering why Danielle and Kathryn are older than I've been married, Danielle is mine from my previous marriage, and Kathryn is Glenn's from a previous marriage.
Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
Lori

Hi I'm Lisa!


I am one of the rare and endangered Dallas natives! :)  I've lived a few other places too (Alabama, California, elsewhere in Texas...) but I"ve been back in the Dallas area since 1996 - I live in Plano.

My own children are Alan, 18(graduating from PSH in 10 days!) and Emily, 14, heading to highschool in the fall.   I also just inherited two beautiful step kids (Ryan, 10 and Nicole, 8) 

I was a SAHM for years and then went back into corporate marketing two years before divorcing from first hubby in 2005.  I just remarried last year to John (yay!) and now I work with him in his business - a limousine service.
We are Chase Limousine - www.chaselimo.com.

Would love to meet some of you.  Oh..... and I am in the "just about 40" club as well!  I turned 39 on April 10.

My name is Pam and I am a working mom of an 11 month old little boy, Ryan.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 3 years and we live in Shady Shores (between Corinth & Denton).  I'll be 34 this year and we are thinking of trying for our second child this year.  I love being a mom and I can't even imagine what adding another little one to the house will be like but I can't wait.

Glad to "meet" you all.  Have a great week!

Hi Ladies,

I am new to this group so this post is great for me. My name is Jaime I am 32 and just celebrated my 7th wedding anniversary. I live in Allen and am the proud mommy of a 2 1/2 year old boy.  I was previously a Montessori Kinder. teacher before my son was born.  Early childhood education is my passion. I love it. I still teach privately a few hours a week. (some of my former students younger siblings) and I just promoted as a Group Manager with Discovery Toys. I started my business with them after I left the class room so I could be home with are son. He's more likely than not gong to be my only and I didn't want to miss a second of it. I would love to meet up with other moms locally.  Hope to hear from you guys soon!
