Ready for those first day of school photos on the front lawn? Thanks to Sears.com for sponsoring today’s post and for helping us get ready for back-to-school. Getting ready for back-to-school season (which is approaching at lightening speed!) goes way beyond grabbing a few new packs of pencils and a binder or two. Pencils…
Reese’s 5th Grade Graduation #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
What a day! Today started early like most school days do…but today was no ordinary school day. Today was the day of my youngest daughter’s graduation from elementary school (though they refuse to call it a graduation…). I left for an end-of-year trip with my 2nd daughter, Necco, and her high school quartet directly…
In the Heights! #WW
The 3 days before leaving for my Disney/ABC trip to Los Angeles were my 2nd daughter’s high school musical, In the Heights. Necco did such an amazing job – she stole the show (…and everyone’s hearts! You wouldn’t believe how many people sobbed when her character, Abuela Claudia, died!). Here are just a few…
Bing in the Classroom: #AdFreeSearch for Kids #BingClassroom
Many thanks to Bing for sponsoring today’s post, and inspiring me to share about their #adfreesearch classroom initiative. All thoughts are my own. When I was in school, there was no internet to look up the answers to any question we had. There were no mobile phones to distract students from learning in class, and…
Graduation Announcement Heaven {Tiny Prints Graduation Line}
This post featuring my daughter’s high school graduation announcements is sponsored by Tiny Prints but all thoughts and opinions are my own. No one ever warned me how much work (mental and physical) it was going to be for me to help get my daughter prepared to graduate high school and move on to…
Barbershop Quartet Youth Adjudications #WW
My second daughter, Necco, has always been a singer. Not only does she have a fabulous voice, but she loves to perform. During her first semester of high school, she decided to try out for a barbershop quartet, and she was snatched up immediately as a tenor (luckily her teacher recognizes her crazy talent,…
Science Fair 2014 #WW
The 2014 elementary school Science Fair has come and gone…and my inclination is to shout “thank goodness!” Reese was excited to participate this year and completed her project and poster with a friend from school – 100% on their own. If nothing else, I was so impressed that Reese and her friend had the…
Valentine’s Day Class Party 2014 {Wordless Wednesday}
Because we were buried under a ton of fresh snow on Valentine’s Day (2 more snow days – joy!), the two youngest kids just barely had their Valentine’s Day class parties today…after a 2 hour delayed opening this morning because of even MORE snow. Snow! Argh! Reese convinced me to hand over my big…
College Application Tips #IntelTablets
When my oldest daughter started her senior year of high school, she made it clear that she needed a computer of her own. I had figured that I would have to break down and buy her a laptop sometimes before she headed off to school…but I was hoping to be able to delay that…
The 5-Day Weekend {PSF Give Me Your Best Shot}
The other day, I posted this quote on my Facebook page: I loved the idea of the quote, even though I never had a snow day growing up in California. I imagine I would have loved snow days for the same reason I love them now – the chance to sleep in and stay…
