Thought provoking yet reassuring discussion

Athena and Mims lead a discussion of being both engaged mothers AND humans with their own growth and goals in mind. I enjoy listening to their struggles and triumphs. Their focus on the development of their children at all stages is obvious, and also their excitement at growing and developing their own minds and skills. Very easy to identify with, if you ask me.

No night for dates!!!

Very interesting because I never had date night. My husband never believe in leaving the children alone, that might have been a no no . So glad that this generation can have dates.
