Why did I start Manasota Family Fun?
I started the Manasota Family Fun page to help families in Manatee and Sarasota find fun family friendly events. I have expanded the website to include local deals, camps, giveaways and more. I aim to be the Suncoast's one stop for family resources.
I have been a Full-Time working mom, a SAHM, a Part-time working mom, and a WAHM. All of these present their own obstacles for finding fun events and activities to do with your children. Hopefully I can help you out!

25 Things About Me:
1. My name is Valerie. My name is misspelled often, but I usually don’t correct anyone unless they ask.
2. I am the mother to three wonderful children. Two girls and a boy.
3. I was born in Sarasota and moved to Bradenton when I was 10 years old.
4. My husband and I have been together since 1997 and married since 2002.
5. I am a Girl Scout Troop Co-Leader with one of my longest time friends (since age 3).
6. I am a Youth Cheerleading Coach for a Pop Warner organization.
7. I love the beach and pretty much any activity in or around the water.
8. I work full-time, but if I could I would be a WAHM or SAHM in a heartbeat.
9. I think that some of the best days are the ones where I just hang out at home with my family.
10. I am an only child with six step siblings.
11. I love networking with people and local businesses. Some people might just call it socializing.
12. My favorite color is blue.
13. I wear flip flops as much as I possibly can. I only wear “real” shoes if I have to or if it’s just too cold.
14. I love to quote random movie lines.
15. When I go to a restaurant, I’m not usually adventurous and I usually order the same thing over and over again.
16. I very rarely wear makeup. I don't really like the feel of it and I don't think I really know how to apply it properly.
17. I have a very good memory about things that have happened in my life. I often remember the smallest details about when, where, etc.
18. I love a wide variety of music.
19. My "family car" is a full sized four door pick up truck. My hubby and I just can’t bring ourselves to get a mini-van.
20. I love to coupon and save money, but I just don’t really have the time to devote to it.
21. I attended MCC (now SCF) and I am so close to finishing my A.A. It will happen one day…when I find the time.
22. I have only moved four times. I love the area and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
23. I LOVE chocolate and coffee, but not always in that order.
24. I wasn't involved in many activities as a child. That is the reason I like my kids to be involved in sports and activities.
25. I’m good at starting things, but not always so good with finishing them.
