Breaking away from the day to day
It’s Back to School season. Let’s be honest, stores like Target have been showing school supplies since May! Although my kids may not be ready, it’s time to get out there and get those back to school must-haves in order for them to be “successful.” (Not sure that uniforms make them successful, but they are a…
Back to school is a time of renewal. A time for fresh starts. When it comes to shopping for back to school time, most people think about everything for the kids.

Since I was…
It’s no secret that it’s almost time for Back to School. I’m not the first one mentioning this to you…every other commercial is about the supplies that you should be buying right now in preparation for the big first day. I’ll be honest, I really love this time of year. No, it’s not because I…

So, back to school is underway in this house. With my guys starting a new school, there comes new ways of doing things. At our new school,…
Ok, so school is about to begin again. In order to make your child’s year start without a hitch, here are things your teacher won’t tell you, but probably should: I’m not a marriage counselor. At parent-teacher conferences, let’s stick to your child’s progress, not how your husband doesn’t help you around the house….
For my kids, the first day of school is coming quickly (3 days, 1 hour, 34 mins to be exact). I want them to start a new school year with their best foot forward. New supplies, new clothes and shoes, new haircuts…all in time to meet their new teacher. And speaking of those new teachers,…
