Miss Social Butterfly

When my daughter got involved in a NJ larp club, I was ecstatic. She had always been a bit of a loner and had never made friends very easily. She made a friend with a girl at school who was really into larp and she invited her to join them one evening. Danielle went and had such a good time.

It has become an obsession with her, but I think it is a healthy one. She has friends, a social life and even has people calling the house for her, which has never happened before. She seems to be so much happier and she is bubbly and excited when she talks about her games or her friends.

It was exciting for me when she asked for costume armor for her birthday, as she has never wanted anything besides books before. It is a wonderful new life for her and I feel like a whole new mom.
