Here we are – it’s back to homeschool 2021/2022. The reaction to this decision has been relatively divided – understandably so. Why on earth would I go back to the craziness that was 2020? The truth is – though it was a bumpy year, in more ways than one, we finally found our footing. We […]
Choosing to Homeschool :: BTS Fall 2020/21
Happy September! Happy Back to school! And you read it right… we are choosing to homeschool! Was it an option? Absolutely! Was it an easy one? Absolutely… NOT. I think I spent more time humming and hawing about whether I was going to homeschool Little Mama or not, than actually planning her homeschool year. And […]
You Do You :: Back to School Kid Crush USA
You do you. I found myself saying these very words on repeat today, as I brought Smallie to school for her first day of Grade 2. I don’t even really like that catch phrase to be honest. So cliche, but what’s a mom to advise her little girl who spent most of the summer saying she was pretty […]
Back to School and Back to Work
Here we go again. First day of school. This year… Grade 1. Back to school and back to work. Last year, kindergarten was one thing – a nice transition from preschool. And even then, I still felt the jab in my gut. Now it’s officially a “grade”, and on the days leading up to it, […]
5 Coping Tools For The Overwhelmed Child :: Vol. 42 #5Faves
We did it. We survived first week of Kindergarten. Sorry. I guess I should be saying, SHE survived it. Yes, with flying colors. No, not without a hitch (or eight). We had a couple (dozen) random meltdowns, one-sided conversations (and yes, I’m talking about my side…), and an overall change of pace throughout this week. For the most […]
First Day of Kindergarten for Little Mama
It’s the first day of kindergarten for Little Mama. And she is nothing short of thrilled. But me on the other hand… I’m just… sad. Why? Because for the last 5 consecutive years, this has been my life… And now, I can barely lift her in my arms. She’s far too busy reaching her own heights. It’s first […]
Teaching My Child the 5 Signs of a Great Friend :: Vol. 39 #5Faves
Back-to-school is literally moments away (for us, anyway… the rest of the world is pretty much in full swing), and backpacks, pencil cases, and bento boxes are flying off the shelves. Kids are squeezing in the last chapters of their summer reads, while parents are pulling their hair out making all attempts to nail down their kiddo’s […]
5 Fave Stylish Little Girl Hairstyles :: Vol. 38 #5Faves
Now that Little Mama is 5 years old, I am constantly in search of creative and stylish little girl hairstyles that would suit her hair length, and dare I say it – sassy ways. If you have been following our blog since the day hair has become an issue (i.e.: this child actually didn’t have hair until […]
5 Back To School Must Dos :: Vol. 35 #5Faves
Where did July go? Better yet, where did January go? How are we already talking about back to school must dos, when we are barely scratching summer’s surface? Apparently, in spite of the validity of this question, it’s all the world, their kids, and their kids’ dogs are talking about these days. What to wear? […]
8 Basic Tips for Back to School Microfashion
We are essentially the last group in the entire universe to start preschool this late into September. But are we worried? Most certainly not. We are as happy as can be. Why? Because, it affords us a little extra time in the sun, and a lot more time to fine tune our fashionably late entrance. As far as personal style […]
Geek is the New Chic #WordlessWednesday #Linky
With preschool starting up in a couple weeks, LD decided to face her pre pre-school jitters and embrace her inner geek chic. She also gave me a preview of what is to come. And it’s not her I’m worried about either… Wish us luck! ~~ Outfit ~~ Black Rimmed Specs ~ Claire’s Grey Cardi ~ Ever […]
