This was such a hectic week for me. The kids were off school Monday and Tuesday - which meant more time with friends and some sleeping in. Wednesday and Friday I was out of my home office all day and Thursday was as normal as it could be. Looking back, this week is basically a […]
It is Election Day in the United States, and while we are not electing a President this year, many state and local government positions are up for grabs.
Why should you take time out of your busy day today and stand in lines at a polling place just to cast your vote for a County Treasurer […]
I am still so impressed at the response I have gotten the past two Fridays when I have asked you to let me know something you or your child did right this week. As a matter of fact, I think I am going to make it a regular feature on WearyParent. We can call it […]
Last Friday I asked my readers to tell me what they did right as parents and I was really impressed with the feedback. So often the positive things we do go unnoticed but the world seems very quick to correct us when we make a mistake.

So far this month I have […]
There are a lot of great topics being discussed about tweens, teens and parenting them this week. Here are a few that I wanted to share:
If you have a middle school aged child, then Our Thinking should be on your list of daily reads. Locker Organization for Middle School Students is a very timely piece […]
Even though the first day of school is still 4 weeks away, I have started to make my checklist of things we need to do to get ready for back-to-school. With three kids going to two different schools, it does take some planning and organization or else I will be a nut that last week […]
Although we have an 11 year old, he is certainly not old enough to stay home alone or care for his younger sisters for that matter, so we occasionally get a babysitter. For many years it just didn’t seem like we had any good options other than leave the kids with my parents. Luckily that […]
