The 34th annual Cypress Creek Christmas Bird Count will be held on Friday, January 1st. Each year dozens of bird-watchers, both inexperienced and seasoned, venture out onto the area’s prairie remnants, farms, creeks, and wetlands to catalog the remarkable and dazzling bird life of the Katy Prairie.
Katy Prairie Conservancy will lead a group of Christmas Bird Count participants on an expedition to record birds on the area’s diverse preserves. Katy Prairie Conservancy anticipates that this year’s count will be as exciting as ever with opportunities to potentially see or hear Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Bobwhite Quail, waterfowl, and over one hundred other species.
If you’d like to assist with the count this year please contact Jaime Gonzalez at 281.660.6683 or by email at jaimegonzalez72@gmail.com.

Hippity-hoppity, Easters on its way! If you’ve got plans for a backyard Easter egg hunt or a gathering with family, consider these tips from the Farmers’ Market at LaCenterra in Cinco Ranch to make your Easter eco-friendly and egg-cellent.
- Avoid the plastics! Instead of artificial and imported baskets, use containers you already own for Easter goodies. Dress them up with ribbons or scraps of fabric. Opt for paper crinkles, (often found in the gift wrap section), in your basket instead of pesky plastic grass.
- Gift healthy. When giving sweets, look for fair-trade or locally made chocolates to support independent farmers. Consider balancing the sugars with granola bars, trail mixes or other Read the rest of this entry »

Being a Mom takes precedence over being a Katy TX Realtor. (Unfortunately, I don’t think my kiddos would necessarily agree with this statement. Do you have the same guilt-induced scenarios with your children?) I was a Katy Realtor long before I adopted my children. My career, like motherhood, is very time-consuming. It’s also extremely rewarding but never as meaningful as parenting my children.
Most of this time, I’ve been a single mother and have continued selling real estate with the exception of a two-year break when my son needed intensive physical therapy. I love my children and I love my professional life, too. However, when faced with a decision between being a Mom and a Realtor, of course, I chose parenthood.
My daughter turned 17 on Saturday. It’s almost impossible to think about how old she is and how soon she Read the rest of this entry »
