Depending on where you are – your kids have likely been in school for a month or two already. Have they missed any days during that time? How many? Is that even something you think about regularly? When they did miss – you probably did everything you needed to do to ensure that they stayed caught up, right? My daughter has missed two days of school this year. The first one was her second day of school, yes, I said SECOND because she had to have surgery. The second was because we went out of town and took her with us. We contacted the teacher, obtained extra work (well, the second time), and thanks to my upbringing, I carried around a great deal of guilt the days that she was out. Our presence matters, especially when it comes to school. … [Read more...]
Finish Your Diploma ~ #HatsOffToYou
Are your kids back in school yet? We started back towards the end of August but I know there were a number of people not starting until around Labor Day and some even later. While I dread back to school because I enjoy spending extra time with my little one, I love the idea of getting back on track. She enjoys learning, reading, spending time with friends, and developing into her own person by experiencing the world, at least parts of it, on her own. There is always so much excitement around the weeks leading up to back to school. We get our shopping lists for supplies, new school clothes, and we start getting ourselves prepared for a new schedule. And even as parents, when our kids go back to school, our schedules change. Do you know an … [Read more...]

Marvel’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR - Girls Reforming the Future Challenge!!! #CaptainAmericaCivilWar
MARVEL'S CAPTAIN AMERICA - CIVIL WAR I’m a huge advocate for furthering education and always have been. In fact, I’ve been researching going back to school to earn my Masters. To say I have a thirst for knowledge would be an understatement. I love to read, research, ask questions, and formulate theories. Man, a Masters … think of the possibilities, they are endless. When I became a parent, my drive to support education grew by leaps and bounds. I started thinking about my little one, her future, what I hoped she would be passionate about, and I have done everything in my power to nurture her “need to know” … everything! Science and technology will pave the way to our future and STEM is one of the leading supporters of such efforts. I … [Read more...]
