    Insightful take on the transition of the "Cheer/Gym Mom"

    **I found this post from someone (below in blue) on a cheerleading board asking about why some moms get all crazy in their cheer mom lifetimes. I got a kick out of it since my dd did cheer for several years and I thought that it was very relatable to gymnastics. Replace "cp" with "dd" and...

    Level 4 and 5 Mom

    So glad to find this website! I have to gymnast daughters; a 10 year old L5, soon moving to L6, and a 7 year old new L4. I also coached preschool/kindergarten children for 3 years. Meets and judging can be frustrating, but this is a beautiful sport!:)

    Off Topic Mom needs some good vibes!

    I am supposed to leave tomorrow for Wisconsin! I'm going for my life-long friend's surprise 40th, and I don't get to see her much, so it should be a blast. So then, yesterday, I found out I'm quite anemic, which I often struggle w/, but have never been this low. Duuuuh, no wonder I've been...
