about mommypalooza™

 

Howdy, I'm Candy!  Thanks for stopping by.  I'm a proud BoyMom to four of the most handsome little dudes you've ever seen! And, I'm expecting a baby GIRL (eeek!) in Spring 2015! I'm also married to my wonderful husband, David, whom I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with since high school.  Yes, we're one of those rare couples!  

I am a native Austinite, and although I currently reside in the midwest, my love for Texas has never changed.  I have a Texas-sized heart and spirit and when I'm not busy running my kids to piano lessons, football practice, or soccer games, you'll find me watching reality TV, organizing my junk drawer, or hanging out with my girlfriends.

I am passionate about lots of things, but at the very top of my list is motherhood.  My kids are everything to me and I work hard each day to create meaningful memories and traditions with them.  We always make it a point to celebrate birthdays and holidays in our family because that's just how I grew up and it works for us.  My kids have emphatically told me I'm the Best Mom Ever on more than one occassion, and although I'm not sure that's entirely true, I certainly strive to be that everyday!

I have enjoyed working with many brands in the recent past, including, Build-a-Bear, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, and many others. If you're looking to collaborate, please email me at [email protected].  You can also find me hanging out on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus, and YouTube.

I hope you'll stay a while and drop me a line sometime.  I'd love to hear from you!

Hi Candy! Love your site! Just sat here for a couple of hours reading your blog and laughing out loud... Trying to reach you re: the use of the name Mommypalooza. Can you provide me with an email address for you so that we can chat? Our PTO fundraiser got a wrist-slap last year for using a copywrited name and would hate to have that happen again! Thanks!

Candy, love to read your site and you are a good mom this is so clear by read it, and you got nice children who knows their mom is the best. Lots of people cant get mom like you, some people get their mom but it's their bad luck their mom put hem in the dustbin and some dogs save that children. Really awesome family you've got, Be happy always. Thanks for sharing nice thing, very lucky you are.
