Let's talk about the elephants in the room

As a stressed-out, working parent, one of the things I’m often asked is "How did you start this?” The simple answer is I needed an outlet, I wanted to do good, and some supportive people joined the ranks..

I'm a single mom, an educator, an advocate, a survivor and a dreamer. Footprints has added immense value to my life; I love the chance to share with our readers the parts of my experience that shape me. I can never repay all the people who helped shape Footprints-- so I aim to bring meaningful content in it's place.

I'm not the only contributor--- we have other mamas sharing vulnerable parts of their lives, tips, and expertise.

So how do you get said pool of persistence? Know the enemy. Toddlers are designed to test their parents… the

We Don't Just Play

Over the last two and half years our playgroup has connected families to one another and to a variety of formal and informal resources within Weld County. In the last year we have collaborated with First Congregational Church and community partners to donate over $1,000 to families in need of assistance.
