November 19-25 in South Florida

This week is a little slower with Thanksgiving (as it should be)- but that's not necessarily a bad thing with Christmas rushing in a few hours after Thanksgiving is over. And, I'm sure majority of you will be tearing up Black Friday while your little (and big) ones are tucked in snugly in bed. There are some Holiday Celebrations starting to pop up more and more.
I am hoping to have "The Christmas Light" list up next week so keep your eye out...and if you know of any spectacular decorated houses in Broward, Dade, or Palm  Beach counties, shoot me an email: hotmommasofbrowardcounty@gmail.com
Have you joined the Hot Momma's of Broward County Facebook Page yet? If not, take a minute to add yourself for constant updates on everything "Mom"...
