I'm a mother of 2 who likes to get involved in too much! Besides writing here I started a non-profit, I'm on the PTO board, very active in my community and volunteer in the school. I enjoy music, reading, cooking, traveling and spending time with my family. We just adopted our 3rd cat and love them all!

    I can’t say I’ve ever thought about it but I would agree chalk would be high on my list. But interesting I bit for our kids it will be dry erase makers!

    Library books! I remember walking in the school library and it was like a wall hit you with the smell.
