 Christina Flanagan, Owner (plus wife, mom, & friend to the most fabulous gals)!

Both Chris and I are native Texans.  I am from Houston and he is from Hempstead.  We met at La Strada during one of their famous Sunday brunch's 9 years ago.  We married in Venice, Italy and had Nina later that year (we are movers and shakers, what can I say).  We moved from the 'inner sanctum' (aka inner loop) 8 years ago into the burbs and found ourselves thrust into a community of lifestyles we knew nothing about....PARENTING, public schools, allergies, bullies, HOA, gymnastics, lactose free milk!!!  AAAAHHH!  It was hard to grasp at first for a city gal, but Nina has been a joy.  She is a wild card that keeps us in stitches; never a dull moment.  When she was smaller I didn’t know the area so I drove around, jotted down places that seemed kid friendly, and BAM...here we are, www.ninaloca.com was born! 
 
I have to mention just a few people in my life that have helped me with this crazy thing:  Christie Lacy you are the coach in my corner!!  Your talent is off the charts and I just adore what you do for me!  I want to thank my husband Chris and my daughter Nina for their patience and input, you guys rock and I love you!  My Mom, Alice, for her strength, beauty, and spiritual wonder!  Amy & Becky, my two long time best friends... my touchstones.  Thank you for listening to the daily confessions of a drama mama!
