Bump into me at the grocery store and I can guarantee that you will find a cart full of milk. Our family of seven goes through an average of 5-6 gallons of milk a week…and that’s with 5 of them out of the house from breakfast until 3 in the afternoon. We like to drink…
Tips for Effective Study Time
This post on effective study time habits is sponsored by Tyson® Any’tizers® Snacks, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Progress reports for the first marking period were sent home a little over a week ago. The reports were full of A’s and B’s, O’s and S’s, and lots of +’s. I’m very…
School Year Survival Tips
The 2012-2013 school year is well underway, and with kids in 11th, 8th, 6th, 4th, and 2nd grades….after school hours around here are hectic. Lots of homework, lots of reading, and they still have chores to do. The kids get home everyday starting at 2:30 – three by bus and two by foot. And when…
Halloween Class Parties 2012 – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ll admit – as much as I love candy (I really do. It’s bad) I’ve never really gotten the hype over Halloween. I’ve never been one to go all out with costumes (most years I just let my kids pick something from the stash of costumes I keep in the attic), although last year I…
How to Earn Extra Box Tops 4 Education with Walmart & #jingit4edu
I have a dirty little secret. I give you permission to laugh at me. I am guilty of grabbing cereal boxes out of my neighbor’s recycling bins to rip off the Box Tops 4 Education. Yes, I am rather obsessed with collecting Box Tops, and my kids share my obsession. We rip and cut out…
Celebrate Back to School with a @Blue_Bunny Ice Cream Giveaway
I don’t know about you and your family, but Back to School season is a season to celebrate around here. My kids love heading back to school each fall (yes, I know…they are a little abnormal!). Last week, we pulled out the Blue Bunny ice cream treats, opened up the doors for some friends, and…
Back to School Tips for Parents and Kids
Last week began my 12th back to school season as a parent. I’m one of the fortunate ones: my kids love school and they have had terrific teachers through the years. As much as we all love the lazy days of summer, I think everyone (parents and kids alike) look forward to the new school…
Back to School Quote
I found this Back-to-school quote today and thought it was too funny not to share. Disclaimer….I love my kids. I really do. I love spending time with them. But I also look forward to the start of school, a regular schedule, and yes….a little separation.
Back to School 2012 – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
I hardly made it home before the kids started this new school year, and after just two days back to school, it hardly feels real. Heck, I barely unpacked from all of my trips today…. Despite my absence this past month, the kids were ready (both physically and emotionally) to go back to school. And…
