One time in preschool, I somehow lost my mind and put her in these adorable white jeans. Um, not a good idea. When I came to pick her up, she literally looked like she had rolled in mud all day long… thus the name PigPen. But I figured a messy kid was a happy kid so I haven’t stressed too much about over the years. I just know better to not…

My family and I started by primarily empowering girls to believe in themselves…
