Of the different things I do at my kid’s school throughout the year my favorite is by far volunteering in the library twice a week. Once with each of my children’s classes. One weekly visit with my son’s third grade class and one visit with my daughter’s first grade class.
I have to admit that with my daughter only being six we kind of missed the Hannah Montana boat. Not that my daughter doesn’t know Hannah Montana or adore her for that matter. But I’ve never really encouraged a lot of Hannah Montana in our house. While I don’t mind the show all that much, […]
Sometimes as I manage my way through my thirties I look in the mirror and ask myself, “When did I become the old ‘Get off my lawn!’ lady?" It seems that everywhere I turn I see things on television or in magazines that make me angry, annoyed, shocked and just downright crabby. Why didn’t the […]

As the amount of digital enhancement and photo shopping continues to increase the need for accountability has become even more important. Which is why in […]
One of the great things about social media is the amazing ability to constantly connect with people and other organizations that share a similar mission as SheHeroes. We also get the chance to hear inspiring and uplifting stories of SheHeroes from all over the world, all walks of life, and of all ages. Sometimes those […]
