Today is my son's first "official" day of preschool. But he's been attending all summer long and it's been going really well. The preschool my son attends serves lunch. So twice a week, I don't have to worry about packing anything for him (for the most part, anyway). On the one hand, it's nice not to have to worry about packing him a lunch. However, I'm a he...

I think I've saved the best for last! All of the shoes in our back to school series have their own unique attributes and I could see myself purchasing any of the ones I've recommended so far. But just like anything you're in the market for, there is the "creme de la creme," the top-of-the line brands that do an outstanding job of bringing you a high-quality design... Read More »

Why so many shoes? I imagine that might be a question forming as you read the title of this post. Honestly, I've always been a "shoe" girl. My husband is constantly trying to bribe me into getting rid of a pair of shoes...ANY pair would suffice. The problem is, I have shoes for different occasions...and perhaps so do you. But we're talking about children, ri... Read More »

For some kids, starting school, or returing to school after a summer long vacation can cause anxiety. We put our little boy in preschool this summer for the very first time and he's had a very positive experience so far. We did prepare him in advance before sending him to school. Reading books about school was just one of the ways we prepared him and how we cont... Read More »

Colds, flus, SWINE FLU? Ok...with summer coming to an end, I always worry about the dreaded cold and flu season. And this year with the Swine Flu lurking, I'm going to take even further precautions to limit our exposure to this virus. As a nurse, I'm s... Read More »

One of the best memories I have of going "back to school" was shopping with my mom. We would plan a special day together and go shopping for clothes and school supplies. Every year she always managed to keep me excited about the upcoming school year. I truly believe th... Read More »

Every thing I read, reinforces how important breakfast is for kids and adults. More energy, better concentration, and weight loss are just some of the many benefits of eating a healthy, balanced breakfast. I know I've been feeling "off" the last several weeks before eating breakfast (hence the fainting episode last week). One of the things we as a family eat a... Read More »

I spend much of my day cleaning up messes. It's my job as a mom and I am definitely not complaining. After all, my son is still young. But cleaning floors, couches, clothing, and cars does get tedious after awhile. So I often find myself thinking about what I can do to avoid a mess. For example, Target sells these little snack containers that are supposed to... Read More »

I started reading to my son when he was an infant. I honestly don't remember how many weeks old he was, but I do remember that I waited until the pain of the c section and the haze of sleeplessness lifted. "Read and start early." That is the advice I was given. When ... Read More »
