Everyday from August to June, I see it drive by. Envy stirs within me and the longing for peace and quiet hit. Dreams of what life would be like if my kids weren't with me all day long pass...
For the last couple of years, my family has spent a lot of time focusing on mental health/mental wellness.  As we are getting ready to send our kids back to school from a wonderful summer break, I wanted to...
Packing a school lunch for the first time. Should be easy right? Thoughts rush into my head of other people actually seeing what I feed my child at home — some days are great, I am supermom — I...
When my kids were in kindergarten and 1st grade, we noticed that they were completely exhausted by Thursday night during the school year - for a few years we even avoided extracurricular activities on Thursdays, because we knew they...
Plenty of websites offer how to find the best deals, so I’m not talking about that today.  What I want to talk about is what to DO with all those school supplies.  There are such great deals available, if you can, buy extra.
I know MANY parents are counting down the days until school starts in complete joy and jubilation! They are ready to be down with the summer sibling squabbles, the endless “Can I have a snack?” and “I’m bored”, and...
Yes, I know supply lists can be long and can get expensive. There also are often items that are very specific and difficult to find. BUT, the teacher has placed those items on the list for a reason - for your child to use while learning. If you decide to make negative comments about the supplies, how much money it’s costing, etc., your child may hear that their supplies are not important. Depending on what you say, it may just be subtle, but it’s not sending a positive message regarding school before school has even begun.
Our reasons might be varied, but the sentiment is the same – back-to-school isn’t all fun times and freedom for emotional mothers. But take heart! There are steps you can take to beat the back-to-school blues.
After a full summer at home with my kids, I can tell you – we appreciate you, teachers, for all you do for our students! This grateful mother promises to be appreciative all year.
School drop-off/bus pick-up was a success...or maybe it wasn't. Head on down to Kavarna Coffeehouse on Tuesday, September 4th and commiserate with other local parents. Kavarna is offering a FREE small cup of coffee for those who attend our Back-to-School Coffee Date. The morning will probably be chaotic, so why not end it with a delicious HOT cup of coffee and some great company.
