Nanny Time

Jo was in Sioux City, Iowa last month for a seminar. After the event, as she was jetting off to work with another family, she sent up this update:

 

The seminar in Sioux City, Iowa was a wonderful experience! The event ended up to be very lively and a lot of fun. Everyone had a good laugh at some of the stories I told and I had time to answer some questions from the audience, which I absolutely love doing! Thanks to everyone who came out to the event. I hope you had as good of a time as I did. I'm really looking forward to doing more events in the future, so my web team will keep you updated, via the website, as I am able to schedule them.  

Also while in Sioux City, I had a chance to meet the ladies at the Jackson Recovery Center, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention, education, and treatment of alcohol, drug, and gambling addictions. I had the opportunity to talk to some women about their parenting issues and concerns. I'm glad I was able to spend time with them while I was in town.

Check out my Flickr page for a few photos from the Sioux City seminar. xo Jo
