10 Years Later...

I dug this blog up today and wow! Cracked me up to read what I wrote some 10 years ago. It's comforting to see that so many years, and three kids, later some things never change. I still have a great love for reading, writing, "The Bachelor" franchise, and planning. Ha! I also love fitness and trying to stay healthy while doing my best to parent and raise good humans!

As with most of our country's history, the suffrage movement was not without its own issues of racism and discrimination. Black women were not widely included in conventions nor always recognized for their work in the movement. While we celebrate 100 years of the female vote, it's important to remember that women in many states still faced years of unfair obstacles and discrimination in trying to vote.

This significant legislation provided clear legal support to ensure equal voting rights fo...
