“Life is better being a mom.”
Dear Mama, We Made It
Hi friends, it's me, Jillian. I know it's been awhile and I've missed pouring out the thoughts of my soul with you. I've been gone because quarantine and parenting aren't exactly the easiest combination. It's especially difficult when thrown the added task of homeschooling. If this was you too, I'm applauding you! We can now proudly say, we did it!
Thank You, Teachers
As parents everywhere send their kids into school this week with hand picked flowers, homemade treats, hand written letters, dressed up as their teacher, and other various things for teachers appreciation week, I realized this just isn't enough appreciation for all teachers do! If you're a teacher, you deserve all the love and thanks parents can give.
Your Best Is Good Enough
It's the time of year when report cards have gone home. Judgement is being shelled out by teachers, fellow students, schools, and parents. Kids from young to old alike are being told their worth and value based on these grades. Kids feel the weight of these report cards, and the aftermath of either praises or consequences can be tormenting. We all feel this pressure while in school. If you didn't, you are truly the anomaly.
Back to school be like...
All of us moms do it, we set more goals for ourselves at this time of the year than New Year's Eve! We tell ourselves we're gonna pack lunches the night before.... well balanced ones of course, set out <em>non wrinkled clothes on the dresser and backpacks on the counter the night before, we dream of styling their hair oh so perfectly with no frizz, and you know....the list goes on.
