Yes, I say this a lot – time flies on by! It is already May, and tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo! As a teacher, this is the time of year that speeds on by. As we approach the end of the school year our lists are long, and it seems that there are never enough …
What does every mom want? More sleep! Moms everywhere – new moms, seasoned moms, and yes, even empty-nester moms – all would love to have more sleep. It’s a simple fact of life. Sleep really is the one gift every mom wants! I was once known to say that sleep is over-rated. Thank goodness I …
Christmas countdown is on! I am feeling pretty good with all that I have accomplished so far. I am by no means completely ready for the holidays and the convergence of kids all coming home, but I am steadily getting there. I actually started wrapping gifts this year in October!
