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?

This literally just happened to me so I felt compelled to blog about it. lol The struggle is real when you have children, specifically school-aged kiddos. I missed a call from the school, the dreaded oh-my-gosh-what-did-my-kid-do-now-call? When I realized it, I called the office at the school and pr…
