We need to have a chat about middle school.
I’m getting real and cutting out the sweet stuff. If you want to read a saccharine post about sending love notes to your 13-year-old in his lunch bag and taking time to read...
It's back to school time and things seem more expensive than ever. If you're staring at school supply lists wondering where to find that semi-hex graphite drawing pencil, a rainbow of poly folders and enough glue sticks to stretch...

In our house, we've purchased our glue sticks, colored pencils, and dry erase markers in bulk. We've got bright new shoes (with shoelaces...
School is around the corner, and as much as I would rather continue to bask in the laziness of summer, I am starting to plan ahead. I have the supply list from my kids' schools, I’ve entered the school...
We’re all in the throes of back-to-school mayhem: an exciting, sometimes emotional and always busy time of year. With contributors who have infants at daycare to college-age students, we’ve got a lot of favorite products and ideas to help...
Summer is starting to wind down, and back-to-school craziness is about to hit full steam. The first day of school is right around the corner, which means it's almost time for those obligatory back-to-school photos! Like many of you,...
The beginning of the year is just as nerve-wracking for the teachers as it is for the students and parents coming into the classroom. The week before school starts is full of training, organizing, and asking questions: What will...

The first few days of school can be overwhelming and intimidating, even for returning students. While enjoying lazy days and loose schedules...
My two boys are in first grade. I spent the better part of their Kindergarten year complaining about school stuff.

Teachers, counselors, librarians, principals, and social workers are back to work as school begins for the school year. We educators enjoy summer break. Our stress level lowers, and we enjoy time with our own children and families. But when...
It hit me today. I've officially reached that point in the summer where I'm done. I'm not just done. I'm so-flipping-done-I-might-lose-it done, stick-a-fork-in-me-and-serve-me-straight-up-to-the-month-of-January done, I-may-or-may-not-have-just-signed-a-petition-for-year-round-school done. Done, y’all. Just done.
I love summer. Come Memorial Day, I'm all, “Wee!...
