Number 6

I’m still alive!

January 5, 2017 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

I know I told you all how I’ve been dealing with a round of depression. And I know I haven’t written a post in a couple days. And I know that’s unusual for me. But I just wanted you all to know (because some people have asked) that I am still here! I have spent the […]

The Seven Best Words in the English Language

September 10, 2016 by not your average mom 2 Comments

To The (Freaked Out) Parents of Kindergarteners

August 25, 2016 by not your average mom 1 Comment

I’ve seen your posts in the closed school Facebook Groups. I’ve seen your posts in the open Facebook Groups. And I’ve been in your shoes before. In fact, even with our sixth kid last year, I was still you. Freaking out. So I get it. Our youngest has her first day of kindergarten six days. She has […]

If your child is nervous about the first day of kindergarten, this will help.

August 24, 2016 by not your average mom 3 Comments

I know a lot of you are getting ready to send a child off to kindergarten. (And I know the thought of that first day of school is often way harder for moms than it is for the kids.) But if your son or daughter is a little (or a lot) nervous about that first day, I […]
