Pam is one of those dear friends. Whether she’s mothering her boys, witnessing at work, or running a marathon… She…

I’m finding myself in Mama Bear mode today…   Have you ever been there? A big kid bullies your toddler. The Captain never chooses your son for kickball. Someone calls your pre-teen ugly.

I’ve been running like crazy for the past several days. Last Thursday we traveled to Cincinnati, OH to speak at the Home School Legal Defense National Conference.
