Kindergarten is over. I will admit I am still in shock. I don’t know where this year went. I look back at the work MB did this year and the pictures of her throughout the year and I can see how much she has grown. How her pretty princess pictures have gotten more detailed. How [...]

I am serving breakfast. Fruit, eggs, and a Lovebug sugar cookie. Yep it is Valentine’s day. As I prepare MB’s backpack I remind her she has her party this morning. Her first response. “Will you be there?” “No, honey. Not this time. I am not on the volunteer list, there will be other moms and [...]

Today was Jump Rope for Hearts, MB’s school philanthropy. I was so proud of her setting up her website (with my help), setting a goal, and picking people to send out emails to help give money for kids who need stronger hearts. She loves to do good. Back when they announced Jump rope for Hearts [...]

Today was my center helper day. 1 hour in the classroom helping 12 Kindergarteners work on their math, art, and writing. 30 min with the first group, 30 min with the 2nd group. Being in 3 places at once. Responding to 12 eager little hands for help, instruction. Keeping the noise level in check. I [...]
Love watching brains grow

I laid in bed this morning and did some reverse role play. “I am starving, who is going to feed me”. They opted to take me to First Watch for breakfast. I splurged with pecan pancakes. Extra extra yummy. But that is watching my belly grow not brains. As with all family friendly eateries…they had [...]

When I look back at 2010 and think of one word that would sum it up. That word would be CHANGE. Sometimes change is a good thing, sometimes change is a bad thing. 2010 was full of good CHANGE. Some of the good CHANGEs… 1) We moved to AZ from NY. This was a big [...]

Well I have come to realize that while I sometimes might take on too much and some days are better than even…I can for the most part do it all. I can work full-time, take care of the house, be a mom….and just make it all happen. Now sometimes the balance is out of whack [...]
Accidents Happen

Ok so MB would probably hate that I was writing this post, but fortunately she can’t read just yet. Today seemed like a normal day. We got MB off to school and then I sent TB off to work. After a full day of this and that I headed to the bus stop. Off came my little [...]
