MJ Teaches Her Daughter that She Can Do Anything, Including Fencing

When I was in college my fencing instructor told me no female had ever passed his class. He made sure I didn’t, too. I signed my daughter up to a fencing class when she was almost 4. She LOVED it. Then she took to rock climbing…I made sure to teach her that there is NOTHING girls can’t do- if they really want to.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that. I can totally relate! I make sure my girls know they can do and be anything they want to be as well.

PS – Fencing and rock climbing have both been recently requested designs. Look for them in 2009! :)>-
