Super Savvy Work

One of the (many!) job titles I've recently accepted is "City Expert" for the brand new city blogs on the popular parenting site, Savvy Source. Therefore it's time for me to come clean and reveal where I live. I've been vague about it during these last three years of blogging, only saying that I'm somewhere in south Texas. But San Antonio is the place I've called home for the past 18 years. That's right...the Alamo, World-champion Spurs and mighty margaritas. Lucky me!

With everything going on in my super crazy life right now you may wonder why on earth I'd take this on. Well, the reason is two-fold. When I heard who was recruiting bloggers (CityMama! Woot, woot!) and then learned about the amazing bloggers who were participating (you can find them all by visiting the city list dropdown on my blog's main page) I was thrilled to be included in such a super-fun, worthwhile endeavor and could never have turned down the experience. And this is also a wonderful way for me not only to share my own knowledge of how to hit the town with toddlers (and preschoolers) but it's also a cool way for me to get out there and learn more about my city and all that it offers young children and their parents. Delaney and I have already made some rather interesting trips around town (see The Peen-yis Post for more on that!).

I hope San Antonians reading here will join me over at Being Savvy San Antonio to contribute your brilliant comments and ideas. As my bio says, I may be savvy but I'm not omniscient. Be sure to chime in with great ideas to share with your fellow San Antonio parents about things to do with preschoolers here in S.A.

And for those of you who aren't in San Antonio, I know you wish you were. So plan a trip to see the Alamo (or the River Walk or the Texas Hill Country). Or, visit the other City Experts on Savvy Source to see what's going on in your town.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to my To Do list. Someone needs to stop me from getting more jobs!

Congrats on the new writing gig! Sounds like a great new site. You go girl.

Neat! Do you get an expense allowance to check out places you'll report on?

Tampa checking in ... I've been to SA once and would love to get there again, if only to visit the basement of the Alamo. [har, har]

I loved San Antone on my one trip there -- would love to go back! The River Walk (and some awesome chocolate ice cream), the Alamo, the Menger, the boat ride, being able to hang outdoors at midnight and chat without fear --
