Finding More Each Day

Wow, I feel like I've hit the motherload. Over the past week I have found more information about active mommy playgroups, upcoming holiday events, local story times, soccer sign up and the list goes on. I knew Parker County was loaded with fun things to do and I'm sure this is just the beginning. I can't wait to see what next week brings. I've also found that just getting in your car you can find so much more about your community. I love seeing the shops in Aledo and Weatherford. I can't wait to stop in some of them to see what I can purchase for our new home. We still need a lot of new furniture. Just trying to budget of course. Well that's all for now. I hope to share more info next week about my new community. Maybe I will even share some pics.

The New Mama In Town

Yes, I'm the new mama in town. I do know a few mamas like my gal pal Lisa Leach but I kinda feel lost. We just moved here from Corpus Christi. During my 6 1/2 years in Corpus I managed to have two little boys, work at a few local gyms and start my own Stroller Strides business. Through these glorious events I met so many wonderful people and made friendships that will last a lifetime. So waht does a mama do now that she is new in town? Write about it maybe? Well I'm just trying to find out as much as possible about the area: Parker County or shall we say Weatherford , Hudson Oaks, Willow Park and Aledo. I know there are a few other small towns in the county but these seem to be the main attractions. Each day we learn something new about the area. So far we have managed to find 3 good parks and love the Sonic in Aledo, it makes for a great afternoon stop after school. The boys have started this amazing Mom's Day Out Program at the Aledo Methodist Church. The teachers are so loving and made me and the boys feel so welcome. I also got to take a Yoga class at the Aledo Yoga & Nia Studio. Another wonderful hot spot in Aledo. I guess you could say I'm starting to venture my way out of the boxes that are piled nice and high in my house. In the end the past month has been hard. A lot of tears and excitement all in one. As we get closer to the new year I'm hoping to find my way in Parker County. I know it time we will meet some wonderful people. Change is hard and now that I'm a Parker County Mama I'm going to accept change and take advantage of all of the wonderful opportunities I can. This area seems to be growing rapidly and I'm ready to help it expand.
