The Truth about School Holiday Parties
We’ve got 3 school parties before the schools shut down for winter break (which is surprising as I only have 2 kids!) My son, age 10, has his party in 5th grade on Friday. My daughter, age 7, had two parties in her 1st grade class. One was on Thursday afternoon and one is all day [Read More]

All I Want For Christmas is…

To All the Moms Who Have Gone Before Me
I never know when inspiration will strike. That’s why I have about 10 sticky notes in my purse at any time, covered with brilliant (!) ideas or things my kids have said. Or just covered with the grocery list. Whatevs. One such note I pulled out the other day seemed appropriate to share as Mother’s [Read More]
