about:
Alayna brings the warmth and wisdom of a mom carrying a fresh tray of cookies, Ashley brings the practical advice but chaotic nature of a dad telling inappropriate jokes during the PTA meeting. And Mak plays the baby; she is curious, in the process of figuring everything out, and making a ton of mistakes in a good way. If Ashley and Alayna represent the advice you might get from a parent, Mak is more like your big sister.
Together we are your Chosen Family.
