Houston on a Shoestring

30 Aug 2006 11:59 PM

New Travel Blogger Introduction

16 Aug 2006 06:43 PM

I will be joining Michele here on the Travel blog, so I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. I am a freelance writer and stay-at-home mom just outside of Houston, Texas. I homeschool my girls, so my days are filled with math problems, teaching reading, and exploring nature.
