Today it was brought to my attention that a young man, Trevor Wilkinson, was given in-school suspension for wearing nail polish. Yes, you read that correctly. A student, in the year 2020, was given in-school suspension at Clyde ISD in Texas for wearing nail polish because he's a man. As a person, I cannot even fathom that this is still in any school's handbook. As a mother, when I look into Trevor's eyes and see the hurt, pain, and anguish I want to march into that school and give them a piece ...

Last time Disney on Ice was in town I took Peyton. She had a blast! We are mini-donuts, sang along to all the songs and just had fun mommy-daughter night. Well, Disney on Ice is coming back to Minneapolis, at the end of February, and Peyton cannot wait to go again! And I don't mind taking her, again.
