Hello Everyone, my name is Layona Johnson. I am 26 year old mother of a little girl named Journee. I created this blog because I am currently in school for my Master's in Early Childhood Studies at Walden University. I love children and I am hoping that one day I can inspire them, the way some of my teachers inspired me at an early age. I am hoping that I do get a lot of interactions from everyone, and I am open to discuss many things. -Thanks for coming!
