Remember That Time At Costco?

August 15, 2017 by not your average mom 6 Comments

We got back from our trip to Richmond on Sunday night. After being gone for six days, there wasn’t much food in the house. Yesterday (Monday) I had plans to get caught up on laundry, clean some stuff up and get to the grocery store, but as so often happens, things did not run completely […]

How To Successfully Avoid Morning Power Struggles With Your Kids

February 3, 2017 by not your average mom 3 Comments

Power struggles are the worst.  They are exhausting and infuriating. What we may not realize, though, is that our kids aren’t creating this problem. We do it to ourselves!
