Still Love Austin!

    So  I woke up today with a hop in my step. Then I looked

outside to find it is an overcast day today in the Austin, TXarea. That would explain the humidity yesterday. Well I decided to do some research and I came across this article.Ten Best Cities for the Next Decade written by the editors of Kiplinger's personal Finance magazine. This article as you can tell by it's title, outlines the top 10 best cities you will want to live in throughout the next decade. Their rankings were based on a search for places that specialized in out of the box thinking on the basis that “new ideas generate new business” as said by Kevin Stolarick. All things taken into consideration be it creativity, music culture, higher education institutions and the tight knit collaboration of all entities, where might you guess the number one, top of the charts, extraordinarily above the rest best city happens to be? Well the beautiful city of Austin of course!!
    Now I may be biased but I still am fairly new to the area being here for going on 3 years. I must say though I still love it as much now as when I first got here. As a matter of fact just about my whole family has migrated here. We are still missing the a few members who still live in Maryland, Virginia and New York. All of which have visited our great city only to leave with a nagging thought in their mind... should I move? It's affordable, has a great energy and is much warmer then the North all year round. Well they still live there but we would love to have them here with us. All that aside, we have the University of Texas Longhorns here, the live music capital of the world and despite the slogan of “Keep Austin Weird” and some of the best place to raise a family with Round Rock, Georgetown and Cedar Park all in the top 100 places to raise a family. According to CQ Press, Round Rock, where I reside is listed as the second safest city to live in out of 32 cities with population of 100,000 of more in the City Crime Rankings 2010-2011. This is the sixth year in a row we have been on this list!! I don't know about you but I am really excited about this. Especially for my daughter and all the future Baby Love Beans out there. For all of you small business owners out there making this such a great place to live, thank you and watch out I am coming your way... to find more fantastic referrals for my mommies of course!
That's it for now thanks for reading. Remember to tell everyone you know about Baby Love Bean we greatly appreciate it. Also visit us on Facebook, just search for Baby Love Bean.
