Mom’s Got Talent

I have two new homeschooling mom-friends who have offered to give educational tours of their respective businesses to my children. One oversees an organic farm that also serves as a prayer and mission base. The other owns an Italian restaurant. I joked that I didn’t have anything interesting to offer in exchange, but one of the moms told me that Madeline would beg to differ. When the mom couldn’t find something during her daughter’s birthday party, Madeline said with pride in her voice, “You should try a label maker. My mom’s really good with a label maker.”

Some moms grow organic vegetables. Other moms partner with their husband in opening a restaurant and know how to make fresh pasta.

As for Kate Wicker, well, watch out. This mom’s an organizing machine who knows how to mom-handle a label maker. No random toys and craft supplies are safe in her presence. She knows how to put them in their place.
