school

When I heard that MISD was the first to get back to school this year I was truly scratching my head? Why? Why are they going back literally the 2nd day of August? I don't live in Midland, so I asked someone more familiar with the situation to explain and now I get it. Midland ISD has implemente…

Can I say my destiny was mapped out for me long before I knew it? It's funny how some things come full circle sometimes and looking back you think, funny how that worked out? Let me explain....

We are excited to be back with our friends at Amenti Beauty School in Odessa this Wednesday. The last time we hung out with Nancy and our friends at Amenti was July and the students were stlll learning and going through their cosmetology courses.

Like many parents, for the past couple of weeks, we have been doing the back to school routine. School clothes shopping, making sure the correct school supplies have been bought, are shots are up-to-date? Dr, eye dr and dentist appointments made to make sure all is well with the littles and paperwor…

So it is indeed back to school time for our young ones and as I tend to the tedious task of school supply shopping let me tell you, I have had a couple of blast from the past reminders that are giving me life!

Imagine how any graduating class, be it high school or college felt. Their chance to walk across the stage and accept their diploma …

If you are a parent, you probably have gifts upon gifts upon gifts. You know which 'gifts' I'm talking about....the ones made in school by your kids! It starts out in preschool with their little hands dipped in paint, then made into a pretty little butterfly or turkey at Thanksgiving.…

Have you ever had what Oprah has called an 'a-ha moment?' A point in time where you thought wow, I feel dumb, that wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. That is me currently with my kids homework. I think I'm pretty smart. 'You is kind, You is smart, You is important.' lol At least that is…

Add this to the top five things that I absolutely hate! Picking up and or dropping off kids at school. Why have we not come up with a solution? Why is this the one time of day that I get frustrated and go home and immediately need a glass of wine? Can we let the fine folks at Chick-fil-A take care o…
