San Antonio is often referred to as “Military City USA.” We have military installations and all branches of the service living and working in our city, so seeing military members and their families out and about in our community is pretty commonplace. We do a lot as a community to recognize our military but last…
This is a story about the day anxiety won. Sometimes, it wins despite my best efforts. Unless you know me very (very, very, very well) you probably don’t know I have anxiety and you probably don’t know I’m a total introvert.

Happy (almost) Chinese New Year! We are celebrating the Year of the Pig in 2019 but that’s no reason not to do this super cute Year of the Dog Chinese New Year Craft. People who were born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018 all fall under the sign of the dog,…
I love being able to work from home. It allows me to contribute to my families income, be here when my kids need me to be here, and do a job I really love doing. I love the flexibility, the opportunities to travel and do other cool things, and…the dress code is pretty sweet, too….
