Dear Friends,
Look ’round your home. If you have a daughter, you have a mermaid. A beautiful, lovely creature who’s sometimes unsure of where she fits in. She is playful like the seal, but can be stormy like the sea. She adores her sparkling fin but pines for shoes. She is bold as the barracuda, when she’s not ‘hermitting’ within a vacated shell. She cherishes her hair, but would trade it to save the world.
My little mermaid above, and my other little mermaid below.

Thank you. May you dream of swimming with dolphins and whales upon a sparkling sea…

I live with three mermaids…two just at the training level and one full-grown swimmer. They take special understanding as they learn to navigate stormy seas. – Fawn

You have honest to goodness, swimming mermaids!
I’m sure with you at the helm – their navigating skills are perfected 🙂

I think of my almost 8 years old g’daughter that way. She is wildly adventurous, curious, protective of her territory, and swims like a mermaid. 🙂 They are a beauty to behold. Blessings, Lydia

Unfortunately, my mermaid needs a housemaid. She is a Slob with a very capital S!
