 As moms, one of the many hats we wear is that of nurse to our kiddos. This episode has everything from scrapes to stitches to casts.

 Every once in a while us all boy moms really do miss out. We miss out on that mother daughter relationship. We miss out on the make up, hair and dress up. We miss out on choosing a prom dress and a wedding dress. We miss out on raising the next generation of strong women.   Follow us on Social Instagram: @ladies.raising.lads Facebook: www.facebook.com/ladies.raising.lads Thanks Blue Dot Session for our theme music!
