Send the Perfect Care Package to Your College Student!
During my first year in college, my parents sent me a couple care-packages throughout the year and I still remember how exciting it was to get something from home. Though our kids don’t like to show they are anxious about heading off on their own, I know that I was pretty nervous watching my dad walk into our small-town airport (I went to Chico State and the airport was teeny tiny back in the day) and head up the ramp onto the plane.

Mama Earth :: Making the World a Better Place using Music, Art, and Nature
Making the World a Better Place using Music, Art, and Nature, with Andrea Miller. Many of you can attest to the fact that so many mothers tend to “lose themselves” after having children. That’s why it’s always so inspiring to be around women who are able to bypass that feeling, and do something about it. Andrea Miller is one mother with a purpose! I first met her at the park, many years ago. She stood out to me because I couldn’t believe there was another mother of color at our park!
