Like Mother Like Daugher?
I’m more like Grace than I’d like to admit! She’s an adorable, rambunctious, high-energy, intelligent, limit-pushing girl who’d never think twice about scaling a metal pole in a dress. That’s why I make her wear shorts all the time. My mom would often tell me she’d have to pull me from the chandeliers. I’m not…
