This topic has been a hot one lately with the breaking college admissions scandal in the news. I’ve been a part of several conversations with other moms talking about what these parents did and why so I thought it would be a great opportunity to write about the subject of how far we would really go for our kids. Let’s face it. The majority of us don’t even have the money to do what those moms did but the subject[Read more]
