Heather
aka MiniNut, Owner and Founder
Living out in a rural area and way south of Austin, Mini created TexasSAHMs
as a way to meet other moms. She never dreamed that it would take off and do
so well. Today TexasSAHMs is a large group of Texas Stay at Home moms and
Mini now relies on moderators to help her operate such a diverse group. Mini
has a three year old son and a thirty-six year old husband that keep her
busy. In her free time, she builds and designs dollhouses and miniatures,
attends every TexasSAHM's function she can, sells Avon and Tupperware, cares
for 3 dogs and 2 cats, runs an on-line miniature group of 7000+ members, and
is currently taking Flute lessons. Somewhere in between that entire list she
finds the time to breathe. You can contact Mini at mininutt@austin.rr.com.
