You Know You’re a Sports Mama When…
Happy Monday, Sports Mamas! I know it’s been a long, long time since I’ve written a blog post for you all, but that’s just life sometimes. All three boys are playing basketball this Winter. No. 1 made his high school Varsity team (as the starting point guard!), and both No. 2 and No. 3 are playing rec ball. Coach Hubby is coaching both littles, and I’m still loving living that #sportsmamalife.
Today’s post is one that everyone should be able to relate to, regardless of the sport(s) your athlete(s) play! I recently asked the awesome sports mamas in my Facebook Group the following question, and the answers I received were just too good (and true!!) not to share.
