Summer by the numbers
Y'all. I am so excited. Since I am still in Arizona, I asked Wendi Aarons to come hang out in the Break Room today. WENDI AARONS. Those familiar with Wendi will know why this is such an honor- the lady is HILARIOUS. I laugh out loud at her blog on a regular basis (read: every time). Before she hit it big in the motherhood department, the smarty pants was working in advertising and in the movie business in Los Angeles. She has written for multiple websites, Parentwise Austin, written some sketch comedy, an unproduced screenplay, writes for Austin Woman Magazine every other month AND contributes regularly over at The Mouthy Housewives.
