About me

Me at a sunflower farm

I hope to grow in this new journey and inspire someone along the way.

It's quite the opposite. I believe I had little to do with their intelligence.  I've wondered many times throughout their lives if it didn't actually have something to do with one specific thing I did differently from most moms during my pregnancies: Expose them to music.
