You know its almost time for school to start when parents on facebook are counting the days till their kids return to school and teachers are soaking up the remaining days of their vacation before returning back to work. For the first time, I’m not able to take part in this debauchery as my son […]
For many, back to school can mean back to school STRESS. As a mama to a little one starting Kindergarten, and who has special needs, I know that changing routines and getting into a groove can be challenging. But, with pre-K under our belt, in the last year I’ve found some great reminders that have helped […]
If you are active in your child’s school and are present, your children see that, they know you are interested in them and their day to day. You get the opportunity to spend a little extra time with your children, too! You have the opportunity to share with the classes, help out a teacher, and interact with other parents. My kids have always had awesome […]
I posted back in May that we were trying to decide between homeschooling another year or putting some of the kids back into public school. After months….and months, of questioning and trying to figure out what to do with each of them, we have decided to homeschool another year! There have been some minor changes in the direction […]

My second grader is currently working on a math unit on counting money. This got me thinking about how we teach kids the value of money. The future will likely hold a time where physical coins and bills are obsolete. The value of money and spending it will still need to be taught and understood. […]
Most moms weren’t prepared when schools announced that our kids would be distance learning for a little bit. We are already stressed with the idea that Coronavirus had hit the United States (and we didn’t know if we were safe). Work was sending people home. And we all needed to find toilet paper… quick!

From lovely decor to heartfelt gifts to fun things to make with the kids, check out some of my favorite Valentine’s Day TikTok crafts for the sweetest holiday. Ah, l’amour. Who doesn’t love that giddy feeling you get when you think about your beloved? It’s no wonder we had to create a whole day just […]
Crafts are so fun! I like them, my three-year-old daughter likes them, and even my one-year-old son likes them too. I enjoy that a craft is something we can all do together, and that when we complete it, we have something that we can hang up or use. My daughter loves getting to be creative […]
