We have survived the first week of school and everyone seems to be happy so far. My only concern is that every day I have asked my son who he sat next to at lunch and he says no one. He doesn’t seem too concerned about it, but he is shy and hates to talk […]
Now that school is starting back up, it is time to take a look at your child’s day outside of school. I am a major supporter of extracurricular activities for kids - especially as they get into middle school and high school.
We know that colleges look at what other activities prospective students are involved in […]
My kids have decided that school food is, for the most part, no good, so I have the task of packing three different lunches every morning. In addition, I can’t pack peanut butter for my youngest because of allergies in the classroom, my middle child doesn’t like sandwiches, and my oldest is in middle school […]

I drove him to school while […]

It has been a long summer and school officially […]
School starts Monday so we went over to the Middle School yesterday for orientation. It was a really good experience for all the parents and kids. We are all going into Monday with a much better sense of confidence.
Our Middle School did a great job putting on the orientation and you can tell the teachers […]
If you have school age kids, you know that while this is an expensive time of year for parents, its a time to check out what’s new, what’s cool and fun in the fashion world for kids. After all, they all seem to want to express their sense of style those first days of school! […]
