Hello there,
Welcome back. 🙂 Back to school!
For some of us, the words BACK TO SCHOOL send shivers down our backs. But for others this may be the news you have been praying for. Either way, no judgment here.
Weather you want to admit it or not, we are all struggling. So let’s remind ourselves of a few things in preparation for the new school year.
P.S. selfishly, this list is a pep talk to myself but if it hits a cord with others, even better.

While I have an entire pinterest board full of DIY educational games, this isn’t that kind of post. Here you will find a list of games that we personally own or have owned and can attest to. But that can also be at your doorstep by end of today.
Have fun.
As many of you know, both of our kids are in public school. But because their school does not do a lot of homework, I like to incorporate some home schooling as well.
Now, don’t get me wrong! I love the idea of no strenuous homework assignments. I am a big fan of kids spending more time with family and friends. I encourage outdoor play. But during summer, winter and spring break and at least once a week during school weeks, I throw in a worksheet or two.
Why? [insert mom voice]: BECAUSE I SAID SO 🙂
