STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) or sometimes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is a field that is traditionally dominated by males. And though that trend is shifting somewhat, it’s still important to encourage girls to get involved in STEM.

And while the STEM fields were never really my strong point (unless it was a social science), I hope that both of my girls will explore these areas. How to Encourage Girls to Get Involved in STEM Although we have come a long way from the days when Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), were disciplines strictly dominated by…

Christmas also isn’t quite complete without at least one viewing of the Nutcracker ballet. Maybe one year, Squeaker and I can attend in person. I also look forward to seeing what Disney will decide…
