Joanna
Joanna loves doing life in Fort Worth! She has two cutie pie kiddos, Rhett, 5 and Layla, 4. She works full time in marketing and loves to run. Let’s be real . . . she likes to run because she loves donuts! She and her family are in a fight to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis because Layla has the disease. They could not be more in love with their team of doctors, nurses, and dietitians at Cook Childrens. Joanna says she tries to find joy in each day even though life gets absolutely crazy at times with a full-time job, two super fun and active kids, and doing treatments with Layla daily. She can many times be found in her kitchen trying out a new recipe from Cooking Light Magazine or Pioneer Woman. (Photo courtesy of: Beyond the Blue Studios).
Love My Local: Southlake, Keller, Roanoke
Way back in the days of rewinding and playing TLC's "Waterfalls," Bryan White's "Someone Else's Star," and Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" on my Boombox, I moved to Southlake, or Keller, or Roanoke. Back then the city planners couldn't figure it out. We were right on the edge of all three cities, and I had no idea how much I would grow to love living in the heart of all three . . . and still do! There is a sweetness to this not-so-small community that warms the heart. What makes me love it so? Well, glad you asked . . .
