This post is sponsored by Mondelez. Summer is flying by. I feel like we just finished the last school year and started our summer. And yet, as hard as it is to believe, the new school year will be starting before we know it. Pretty soon it will be time to get backpacks ready,…

Everything is Better When It’s Seussified #PSF
My youngest daughter (a sixth grader) was in her middle school’s production of a Seussification of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream this week. My daughter who’s in 10th grade stayed after school at least twice a week for the last month or two to be a stage manager. They both had a blast –…
Power Up & Read: Summer Reading Challenge 2015 #SummerReading
This Summer Reading post is sponsored by Scholastic, but all thoughts are my own. This past week has been HOT. It feels like summer is here already, even though we still have 4 1/2 weeks of school left before summer vacation officially begins. I’ve been a mom of kids in school long enough, though,…
My Track Star #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Just Another Barbershop Weekend #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
This past weekend was the yearly Barbershop Youth Adjudications for my daughter’s quartet (along with the adult International Prelims) in Harrisburg, PA. I was lucky enough to be able to spend the weekend as the quartet mom (aka world’s best chaperone), tagging along on all of their adventures in Pennsylvania. It was exhilarating and…

DIY Holiday Teacher Wreath #HandmadeHolidays
I struggle each year to find an original holiday gift for my kids’ teachers that they will appreciate and be able to use. This year, I had the opportunity to create a fun holiday wreath for my youngest son’s elementary school teacher with supplies from Staples, and I am so excited to share it…
Tradition. Celebration. Memories. High School Class Rings by Jostens
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jostens for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s still crazy for me to think that I’ve got a child in college (college?!) and another following closely behind in high school (not to mention the next 3 that will be moving up the…
