Sometimes she’ll have an assigned title and other times she can write what she wants. She often writes about something that happened recently in her life. Yesterday,…
Breastfed or Bottle fed. Stay at Home or Working. Public School or Homeschool. The mommy battles rage and this week another started. It’s not okay to be on your iPhone while your kids play at the park or it is. Honestly, everyone has their opinion, but do we really need…
