Adventures with Alyson

Lovelovelove Dave Matthews Band. I caught two of their shows this summer with my hubby and gotta tell you - they ROCKED (and so did we)! We may have two kids and a whole lot of responsibilities but I'll let you know that I can still hang with the best of them. I literally danced my butt off - which is good since I haven't been to the gym yet this week. Anyway, I digress ...

I've always been a live music fan. I've rocked out with Dave more than 30 times; jammed along with bands like the Allman Brothers and Blues Traveler; some of my best memories of my group of girlfriends were created during long days of taking in the tunes at festivals like Woodstock , the H.O.R.D.E. Tour .... you get my drift. The point is, for me: live shows = summer. 

With all of the fab summer festivals, there's no reason not to take in a show. I've got at least one more Dave show on the docket this summer. What do you have going on?

We just got back from Paris with our 10 month old.

Mom's Nite Out was a smashing success! Women on Their Way hosted the NYC event at the Wyndham Garden Times Square while Local Nation winner, Stephana Johnson, hosted an event in San Antonio, Texas at the Wyndham La Cascada. Thank you to all of the dynamic, dedicated and fabulous Moms who attended these parties!

To see pictures of the event, or to share pics of what YOU did to celebrate Mother's Day, please check out Women on Their Way by Wyndham Worldwide on facebook.

Mom Talk Radio with Maria Bailey - Featuring Alyson Johnson

Waste Not, Want Not.

As a mom, I feel strongly that it's important to do what I can do to minimize the impact that I have on the environment. 

Last week I had the opportunity to talk to the women who are participating on the Women on Their Way Sounding Board and I have to tell you, I think that it's going to be an awesome experience working with these passionate travelers.

I'm in Orlando right now at the Wyndham Orlando Resort on a business trip and although it's really, really nice to be able to get some great sleep and enjoy my evenings alone, I'm totally missing the craziness of home! I totally miss the kids and being at such a family-friendly resort is not helping! The little man and moose (what we've taken to calling the little one because he finally put on some weight - though so quickly that he looks like a different kid) would just love this resort.
