I am not a crafty mom. I’m just not. Drawing and coloring of any kind is on the top of my least favorite things to do list, right up there with sewing. But my kids love all things crafty, and I think that’s great. As a non crafty mom I do facilitate their craftiness. See… [continue reading]
Play like a girl
*I am sharing some of my daughter’s athletic achievements that I am most proud of as part of a sponsored conversation for Verizon’s #FiOSFootballGirl campaign. #PlayLikeAGirl “Oh just wait till you have boys!” I used to cringe inwardly when I heard that comment implying that since my oldest three children were girls they probably just… [continue reading]
