About Queer Asian Pride Ireland
Hi, my name is Liz. After becoming a mother in 2010, I was inspired to start a blog to connect with other parents who were juggling career and mom life. Since then, I’ve had the honor of meeting and sharing my at-home lessons with parents all across the globe. With the launch of Little Comets Academy, I’ve condensed all my favorite lessons into two online programs for both little kids and big kids. The best part? You probably already have the supplies you need to get started.
