Who Is MyDFWMommy? A Dallas Coupon Blog!

MyDFWMommy was established in August of 2009 as a Dallas Coupon Blog.

Laura Thornquist was the author behind the website and has been dedicated to educating our fantastic community about great deals, must-attend events and great living in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Laura loves to find a good deal, but she doesn’t consider herself “cheap”. She just likes to stretch her dollars so she can splurge on her family when she wants.  She’s also a wife, mother and a business woman.

She also has a marketing, television news and sales background. She was hugely impacted by the economy in late 2008 with job losses and transfers. That’s when she discovered a new frugal way of living. After learning valuable savings strategies, Laura couldn’t help but share! It has changed her life and she’s committed to helping others pinch pennies in times of need!

Laura Thornquist is a former TV News Journalist turned Digital Influencer and Social Media Specialist, Blogger and Consultant. She currently consults in building effective blogger campaigns and affiliate networks. She also consults with PR companies, advertising agencies and corporations such as P&G, CVS, ConAgra and Krispy Kreme to name a few.

Laura authors and is a spokesperson for her own blogs, including MyDallasMommy.com/MyDFWMommy.com. She’s a daily contributor and “fronts” her savings segments on WFAA in Dallas/Fort Worth. She’s provided content on Good Morning America and has also been featured on GMA. Other media includes the local Fox, CBS, and NBC TV stations along with several local newspapers. Prior to entering the social media market, Laura was a news anchor for over 20 years in markets such as Denver and Kansas City.

Laura has taken a new position and is moving to Houston. She will miss working on the blog and her connections but leaves the blog in capable hands.
