September 7, 2020 by not your average mom 1 Comment

Tomorrow is our first day of school. I just want to let all of you know something. Because I think there are some of you who could use a reminder right now. As I have scrolled through Facebook the last ten days or so, I’ve seen some pretty incredible distance learning setups shared by friends. […]

The kids start school tomorrow. We will have a first, second, third, sixth and seventh grader. The girls are all very excited for the first day. The boys? Not so much. Especially Number 6 who has been crying every night for the last three nights when it’s time to go to bed. He has a […]

For Those Of You Struggling With The Transition Into Summer

Dear Number 6

September 1, 2015 by not your average mom 16 Comments

Today I sent you off to kindergarten. All summer you have been pretty excited to go to elementary school. To ride the bus with Number 5. To carry a backpack and your own lunch box. Yesterday, when it was time to go to orientation, you were excited, too. You were excited to see your classroom […]
