If you’ve checked out any of my back to school posts so far this season, you may have noticed that I pulled my son from public school and enrolled him in cyber school for this year. It was a huge decision that, honestly, was a long time coming, and I wanted to...
Wow, can you believe it’s already time to start your back to school shopping? It’s crazy, how fast the summer flies by, isn’t it? This year, my son starts cyber school, so my school supplies list is a little different than usual. Okay, a lot...
Have you ever thought about homeschooling? Without getting into politics, I’ll tell you that it’s been on my mind a lot the last few days and leave it at that. I know a lot of parents who homeschool for many different reasons, but up until recently, it was...
Once upon a time, my son actually went to bed early, slept through the night and woke up feeling refreshed & ready to face his day. Okay, that’s a total lie. My kid has NEVER slept well, but he did actually manage to go to sleep at a reasonable time and make...

I am such a slacker this year with back to school season. Mostly because I don’t want summer to end. When it ends, I have to start getting up at 6am. Up until this year, Jake started school at around 9, which meant he got on the bus at 8:15. We prepped the night...
So, I just looked at my son’s school calendar and realized that he heads back to school in less than three weeks. I’m kind of freaking out here! I thought he’d go back after Labor Day, but nope, he goes back on the 29th. I have absolutely nothing...
