Last night, after a very long holiday weekend, bedtime was a joke to a couple of little ones. The littlest may have been awake in his crib longer than I was, in my bed.
Then there were several interruptions to my sleep. Something about a scary dream. About a spider? No, […]
We survived the first week of school! Yeah, so, it was only four days, but it was four LONG days. In case you missed it, I’m giving away coffee (go! enter!) this week, and I reviewed a great new album from two of members of the Dixie Chicks. Oh, and I shared […]
I am not a morning person, at all. But, on weekdays, I set my alarm for 6:15 am so I can get up and make the kids breakfast before waking them up at 6:30 and leaving for school an hour later. It takes them at least 20 minutes to eat […]
My two oldest kids started school today, going for a half day. Tomorrow, they’ll start full days. I now officially have a second grader and a first grader. Say WHAT?!

Ivy, up until now, has only gone half days in school, so she has gotten home at […]
Their eyes were big as we pulled into the parking lot. They grabbed their backpacks and held my hands tightly as we walked into the building.
“Can you stay with me?” Henry asks, as we make our way through the gym to the far side where the first graders sat, waiting.
“No, […]
