Thursday, April 23, was National Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day. This year, I observed the day by bringing my daughter Julia to the Museum. She had the opportunity to help with daily tasks, attend meetings, attend a workshop, and participate in a Star Wars themed photo shoot… All in a day’s work at the DMA!

Reblogged this on one day this too will be gone and commented:
When I decided to leave my teaching job and go to grad school to pursue a career in art museum education, I was worried that being in school full time would mean that I would not be able to spend as much time with my daughter. When the time came to write my thesis, I knew I wanted to somehow include her in my research. We embarked on a collaborative research endeavor and since that moment she has been a major influence on my work. It was such fun to have her at the Dallas Museum of Art for, “National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.”
