This technically is an “ask a baby blogger” blog. I’ve been asked numerous times how I keep my sanity with all of my children. The truth is. . .I really like being a mother.

Here is an awesome way to bond with your daughter. Dance with her. Don’t wait until her wedding day and your future son in law cuts in after you dance with her to the song, “Daddy’s Little Girl”.
