Are You Back-To-School Ready?

This back-to-school year is a bittersweet one for our family. It is the last back-to-school that we will have with our kids because they are starting their Senior year in high school. And as I sit and think about what we must do to prepare them for a fresh start this school year, I am […]

My New Financial Secret Weapon: Yesterday’s Tomorrow

For generations, parents and caregivers have tried to teach children the value of a dollar. There are many tools at their disposal — allowances, chores, and of course, piggy banks!

Clearing your Clutter Could Mean Jobs for Your Community #DonateStuffCreateJobs

This post is sponsored by Forever Connected – all thoughts and opinions are my own.  I am known in my family as “the crazy photo lady” and “Do you really HAVE to get a picture of that?” I love my photos! But even with the 500 (million) photos on of my kids and the fun, […]

The Mom Village – Encouraging Moms Through Stories

The Mom Village

One of my favorite projects each year is the book we do benefitting a different organization. Last year, we worked on a book together called the Mom Quilt.

To Tanzania with Love | The Laurita Spina Bifida Project Wants to Donate Wheelchairs

Learning and Attention Disorders Just Need to be Understood

  If more of us actually knew the signs of learning and attention disorders, I do not think that so many children would go undiagnosed every single year.
