Horned Frog wife & mommy. Our city of Fort Worth is different and special-I'm here to show you why! Contact: michelle@fortworthwoman.com

@yardfetti strikes again!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This pajama-loving dude loves all things tools and dump trucks. Our morning started with squealing about "woahhhhhhh! Wook at that BIG truck outside!!!!!!" and I hope I will hear it in the back of my mind forever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then add in his big present and dump trucks have become a reality. This little guy's mind has been blown!

My precious boy. Today, somehow, you are three yea

My precious boy.
Today, somehow, you are three years old.

You have marched to the beat of your own drum since you were born. As soon as you arrived, they placed you on my chest and you screamed at the top of your lungs for twenty minutes. Everyone just stared at me. Nothing would console you. You had to get it out that things were different and you weren’t loving it. Then you cuddled for what seemed like forever on both your Daddy and myself.

That’s how you roll - big, big, big feelings.

Which also allows you to love SO big. You have very few people you fully trust but you give those people your whole self. It’s pretty magical actually and I think will serve you well.

You are a clone of your Daddy, complete opposite of your sister, and you laugh with your whole body like your Papa. We love you BIG my little mister and it’s an honor to be your mommy!

And please continue to show us that you’re three with your fingers in your own style...we wouldn’t have you any other way.

Eleven years ago these two young babies had just graduated from college, had no idea exactly what their future held, and were only one week away from getting married.

And what a ride it’s been - minus the Blackhawk helicopter. 😜

Time slows down in South Texas yet somehow the trip still went too soon.

We caught some fish, cooked our own crabs from the pier, ate yummy (socially distanced) food, flew a kite from the pool after too many margaritas (🙋🏼‍♀️swipe🤦🏼‍♀️), took a few days to truly breathe, and have already booked our next visit.

Until next time La Ventana de Esperanza in Rockport!

Meet August’s Woman of the Month, Martha Greer!

Meet August’s Woman of the Month, Martha Greer!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 1995, Martha officially started her own business with the hope of filling a custom alteration void that was unavailable at the time. Originally named Laviyshey (a combination of her children’s names), Martha & Greer began. When she first began she offered alterations, new sewing, and upholstery. Since opening, she has sewn custom shirts for world poker teams, created dresses for pageant winners, made custom clothing for people with different abilities/medical conditions, partnered with luxury companies like Saks Fifth Ave, and worked with a variety of businesses, television stars, and athletes nationwide.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Specifically, Martha loves to design and customize wedding dresses for excited brides. Her compassion is genuine for each of her diverse customers and her talent is limitless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Martha’s favorite part about Fort Worth is the great people! “I grew up here and even went to TCU,” Martha says. “I’ve seen the progress made in civil rights and there is still much work to be done. I do have hope that the city is moving in the right direction.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When asked what sums up her impact as a business woman, Martha used the word trust. “I tell brides to ‘never stress over the dress” she says. “I take the stress out of finding the right gown by designing it or helping them put the alterations in hands they can trust.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Martha, who you are is a light and your work is a lost art that I am so grateful you have mastered! To read Martha's full Woman of the Month article, click the link in my bio!

And just like that, @sunsistertanning, has me back up and running. I feel like a new mama!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I won't lie, I wasn't a sunless tanner until we owned a pool so here are my "not so professional' opinions on her custom tanning mousse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-it's created by local mama Breanne herself
-it does NOT stink
-it does not get everywhere the moment you put clothes on or sit down
-it's easy to apply and you don't get all streaky
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There. That's all you need.
Get glowing and click the link in my bio to purchase yours!

I officially miss "let's take an awkward selfie because we're on a date sans kids" nights. 😏

So the other day my son told me "Mama. You wook extra angry when you're weally mad wight now."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sorry son. Let's be real. Mommy's botox from @kalosmedicalspa in March has run it's course and now my forehead wrinkles are returning.
Thank you for the reminder that I need to see Carolyn asap.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😏 Kids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you know what? I called, got right in, felt super safe given their COVID safety procedures, and am now back on my way to my "not so weally mad" face. Now, before y'all DM me, please know that the second photo is from my March appointment with Carolyn. Yesterday when I saw her the personalization of my treatment was still present - it was just accompanied by full PPE, extra sanitation measures, having my temperature taken, and even checking pulse ox in the case I was asymptomatic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every single precaution was taken and I felt more than comfortable!

Just left a very socially-distanced happy hour tour with these dear women at the @tarrantareafoodbank Wine in the Warehouse Event hearing from their CEO, Julie Butner and team. Our Tarrant Area Food Bank has been RELENTLESS in their pursuit of feeding local Fort Worth families during this pandemic and they aren't stopping any time soon!
