There are some things that take bravery, patience, stamina, and a positive mental attitude (PMA). I had decided yesterday that I was going to take all four kids to the pool this afternoon, by myself. Now that Chance, Quinn and Darby can all swim very well, and Julius is well on his way, I really…
Continue reading →You guys, I have something pretty huge to share with you. As most of you know, for 11 glorious, years, all the soaring highs and crushing lows of my life, as well as everything in between, were documented on my blog, My Brilliant Foot. A few years ago, I decided I wanted to look into…
