Galen's Mom Selects

As Galen's mom, I am always trying to improve my parenting skills. To that end, I signed up for Dog Reader and About Dogs.info. Art and design are also passions of mine. I am excited to see that one of the offerings was Art Journal. I enjoy seeing the remarkable talents of current artists.
