There are so many back to school posts out there, but most are geared towards the big kids. Now it’s time for the preschoolers to shine. With both my experience as a preschool mom and a preschool teacher, I’ve compiled a list of things to help your family with preschool prep. If you start about… [Read More]
The must have holiday gifts for preschoolers
My goal every year is to stay on top of the holiday budget while making the best of our holiday gatherings and gift exchanges. This can be a challenge, but with a little research I have been able to find gifts that make everyone happy and fit within my budget. The past few weeks I have… [Read More]
5 Under $5: Back to School Gifts for Teachers
We don’t always think about gifts for teachers at the beginning of the year, but it can help your kids start the year off on a good foot. I know that as a parent getting back into the swing of things can be a little rough. We get used to the more laid back pace… [Read More]
The day my kids gave each other haircuts
My youngest two kids were in the front yard playing by their favorite tree. It’s a nice crab apple tree that’s easy for them to climb. I asked if they would stay out front for a few minutes so I could take care of a large ant mound I found in the backyard. They agreed. We… [Read More]
The real reason I’m sad preschool is ending

Back to School with VlogMom
My little people are headed to preschool in less than two weeks. I can’t believe it. It feels like just yesterday I was trying to figure out what we were going to do all summer. This week’s VlogMom prompt comes to us from Jo-Lynne of Musings of a Housewife. She wants to know “Are your… [Read More]
Prepping for preschool – my baby is going to school
Today is a big day. It’s Meet the Teacher at Bug’s new preschool. I am totally excited as I think he needs a little outside activity that does not involve mommy. Sure, he loves me to pieces, but a little social activity with 9 other kids is just up his alley (and mine.) I was… [Read More]
