    I love it! I haven’t heard about this reality show, but it sounds intriguing.

    It is amazing how motherhood makes our lives change in ways we never could predict.

    Wow, I haven’t heard of this! You’d be great. I looked into it, and it sounds like they’re looking for more established bloggers than me! Oh well!

    Best of luck to you!

      KIm, EXACTLY the point of the video and I am so glad that it is percevied this way – I had those big dance dreams and when that didn’t work out, I chased another dream and once I was there I thought my career was my passion until I was married and raised a family – my “dreams” took on new form – thanks SO much for watching!!
