Can you believe it?! March Madness has started, clocks have sprung forward and the first day of spring is upon us! The first day of spring is bittersweet for me, it is usually my mom’s birthday and she passed away in 2014 from Alzheimers/dementia. I smile when I see the tulips and daffodils start to peak through the ground and think of her. So who is ready for a Virtual ParentCamp? We had to take a little break again, we have been out traveling, training schools and supporting them along…
