FBP: Post Round Up

I am so excited to be FredericksburgParent.net’s Blogger of the Month!  When I started this blogging journey a couple of years ago I did not expect for me to not only keep it up this long or to be blogging for one of Fredericksburg’s top online parent resources!  I am so happy to be on this “Not So Average Momma” journey and you better believe that I plan to keep on blogging about it!

I thought that I would kick this month’s posts off with a round-up of some of my favorite posts from my blog here as well as my personal blog, Not So Average Momma.   These are posts that I have written over the past two years that I thought you would either enjoy reading, learn from, or get to know more about my family and I.
