As a mom of 5 kids I have learned that I still have tons to learn. But along this path of motherhood some of my greatest lessons have been taught to me by the very children I try to teach. Lately, I’ve been thinking particularly about my daughters. One thing that all women have in…

Just You and Me: Post-it Note #129
All of my kids have different ways that they feel most loved. I have one who is a reader and a singer. Words are important to her. She needs a lot of affirmation and praise. My son is a hugger. He hugs me a gazillion times every day (even though he’s a teenager!) And then…
