I'm feeling relieved today that a decision made by my gut turned out to be a good one. Remember Giggles' struggle with preschool? Well, we were destined for a repeat of the morning meltdowns and constant battles for this school year if something didn't change. After a peaceful and happy ...

You know when you do a strenuous workout and wake up sore and immobilized the next day (ha! neither do I, lol)? But no, seriously - that's how I felt this morning when my alarm went off. I literally groaned. This first week of school has me totally beat. Between ...

The first week of school went very well! I was nervous and anxious; princess was just fine. She's made a few friends already and loves her teacher. And, we had a homework assignment this weekend.
Tomorrow is the first PTA meeting - so we'll see how that goes!!!

First of all, she's 4 1/2 .... when did that happen? I feel like I blinked and my baby is almost 5 years old.
Second, she's going to be doing this alone. I'm tearing up as I write now because I'm scared for her, worried about her, excited and hopeful for ...

Um, how come no one warned me what sending Chatterbox to Kindergarten actually meant for me? It's been almost 3 weeks and I honestly feel like one could do nothing else but manage their kids' school "careers." Between Orientation, Back to School Night, the Book Fair, keeping up with school ...

Is a new winter coat on your back to school shopping list? Wouldn't it be great if you could scratch that item off your list by winning one valued at over $130.00? Especially one that is wind-resistant and waterproof with a dirt and water-repellent finish? And a soft fleece ...

Today was the first day of school for two of my three. Last year, Little B had, shall we say, a "rough" time getting readjusted to school. This rough period included a little kicking and screaming for about a week. A teacher or two may have gotten, ahem, kicked. There ...

I hate shopping for school supplies. What I hate more is the instructions on the teachers' lists- two boxes of 16 crayons, size large, NOT jumbo. Instructions like this requires me to drive within a 200 mile radius of my school district to hunt the item down only to determine ...

Chatterbox learned a new word at school yesterday. You guessed it - the "eff" word. I couldn't believe it! And she had to know it was bad because when I asked her to repeat it to me after Giggles tattled on her, she refused. I must have looked visibly ...

We made it through the first week of school! Both Chatterbox and Giggles started on Tuesday. It's a new school for Chatterbox and Giggles' very first school. I like it because the classes are very small (there's only 4 kids in Giggles' class and 6 in Chatterbox's) and it's very ...
