Things I Hate About The Pediatrician’s Office: Annual Forms Update
We all hate going to the pediatrician with a sick kid, or even worse, MULTIPLE sick kids. Even if you’re there for a seemingly benign “well check-up” your child will more than likely pick up some rogue germs that will get him or her sick which leads to yet another…

Winning With the Cards We Are Dealt; Victory Over Learning Disorders

Deep Thoughts During Yoga Class
Yoga has been my go-to for stress relief and exercise for years. Guaranteed kid-free quiet for an hour, fighting the mom weight, and justifying drinking Starbucks Frappacinos is a triple win in my book. One of the funny things about the hour of basic mental solitude is that my inner-dialogue…

Whodunnit? Or In My House, WhoBrokeIt ?
I can appreciate the fact that the entire world tried to figure out who shot J.R. Ewing of Dallas fame in one of the biggest season-ending, whodunnit cliffhangers of all time… But figuring out who broke a lamp and lightbulb when all four children blame each other, give evidence of…

Fall Break : An Added Holiday for Parental Torture
I don’t remember getting “Fall Break” as a kid in school. Spring Break, sure, in addition to the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holidays and the big ole 2.5 month Summer Vacation, but never a FALL Break. I guess someone with OCD issues ((I can say that because I’m diagnosed OCD) felt…

My Thoughts on Teacher Inservice Days
I know teachers are some of the hardest working people that exist, and I’m in awe of them. I realize that they have an endless amount of work to do both inside and outside the classroom, and that teacher inservice days are necessary. Truly. That way they can attempt to…

Get Inspired: Budget Birthday Parties Can Be Great!
Moving houses this year, coupled with all four of my kids being in school, has done a number on my bank account! All of the random school t-shirt orders and field trips and kids outgrowing the shoes I bought like two weeks ago have combined to make the wiggle room…
