  • Encouraging Young Girls to Be Themselves

    Encouraging Young Girls to Be Themselves and that It’s OK If you don’t already know this by reading my blog regularly, I love my kids. They bring me such joy and clear perspective on all things in life and for the most part, they just think I’m the cat’s meow. I am preparing myself for…
