'Twas the night before school and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, except for a louse. The backpacks were hung, by the house door with care, With no idea St. Nit soon would be there.   The children were nestled all...
The month of August in Texas brings two things, blazing heat and the first day of the school year. My daughter seemingly forgot how to eat lunch at school last year. She dutifully threw out nearly every day...
August brings all the feels. The feeling of summer slipping away, the excitement of a new school year (the smell of a new box of crayons is always amazing), and maybe the feeling of Christmas looming and a sense...
Ah, back to school. For many, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Backpacks are purchased; summer reading books are (almost?) complete; the aisles of every store in town are bursting with pencils, erasers, and stickers; and everyone...
I am thrilled that my son, F.T., got plucked off the waiting list and will be attending Great Hearts Monte Vista this fall. This is the first time F.T. will be attending a school that requires uniforms, so I...
I want to preface this article by disclosing that my child has been to six preschools. Yes, six. Being that my daughter just turned three, I realize she’s averaging two schools per year. However, before you judge me, let...

It’s that time of year again. School supplies line the seasonal aisles of grocery stores. Red apples, school buses, and pencil clip art adorn the penny saver flyers, and August announced its arrival before we even realized July had...
A few days ago, I noticed the face of one of the teachers at my kids' school on the "people you may know" feature of Facebook. I noticed we had some mutual friends, so I clicked on her page....
This post is the first of a series of school lunch posts that are designed to help you pack nutritious and yummy food for your little ones! Remember when school lunchboxes were metal with a cartoon character on the front?...

Printable Lunch Box Notes

There are a gazillion and one lunch box note printables out there (don't believe me? ask Pinterest!), but none that we felt are great for older kiddos. We craved some with a little less mushy-gushy and more fist bump/be...
I promised myself I'd wait until my daughter starts Kindergarten to print the "first day of school" sign for the obligatory picture. Then I started thinking about printing all 13 signs right this very second so I'd be very, very...
