Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go

Hello. My name is Brittany and I have followed Kellys blog for a while now, and have been reading yours recently. I think your family is precious and your girls so so sweet. You seem like such a wonderful mom. There was something about your "Singleness" post that I just kept thinking about. I could stop laughing when you made that coment about the chips and salsa. I kept thinking about that and it just made me laugh.Anyways, nice (sort of) meeting you.
