    Parents Self Fundraiser?

    Hi, all! Hope everyone's gymmies are having a fun & safe season. I haven't been around, as much, lately. It's been a difficult year. My husband is ill so I've had to work more out of the home.

    Parents ~Here is Proof of How Much Your Gymmies Grow~

    Something Emma's mom said to me in another thread really got me thinking. I'm so caught up in the "today" and I need to stop and appreciate just how hard Pixie works in gym. It's hard to pick up the little nuances when you see them train day in and day out. For a reality check post a video...

    Parents Anyone else still have sectionals & state?

    Besides Pixie?? Starting to feel left out here, lol! Actually, what I'm feeling is butterflies! Sectionals is Saturday morning. While she is super amped I'm starting to worry. Mainly because her coaches have been "adjusting" her handstands so that she holds them longer and now they are ALL...
