Today, you may decide you don’t like me. That’s okay. I’ve got some stuff on my mind, and since this is my little home on the Internet, I’m going to say it…because it matters. First things first: If you haven’t been around long enough to know this–I’m a white Christian woman. I’m 34. I grew […]
Today, I’m sharing my First Grade Readiness Weekly Summer Checklist printable with you! The School of These Average Parents is now closed for summer! That’s right–we made it to the end of Kindergarten, during a pandemic, and lived to tell the tale! All kidding aside though, homeschooling our daughter did shed a lot of light […]
Just two short months ago, none of us would have ever known what the heck a social distancing/quarantine birthday celebration was. Just two short months ago, we were thinking we’d have our normal family party for our big SIX year old, complete with Jersey Mike’s subs, patio-sittin’, and plenty of laughs and present opening. But […]
I’m going to talk about the Coronavirus today. But before I get started, I’d like to just give a sort of disclaimer on this whole thing. Yes, I am going to talk about my feelings. NO, that does not mean I do not understand that there are people out there truly suffering. I know there […]
If there’s one thing I’ve learned the past few weeks , it’s that going outside saves sanity during social distancing. My kids haven’t left the house in three weeks, so they fight constantly. My almost 6 year old acts like a 2 year old half the time. My 2 year old bites, hits, and pinches […]
Welllll…WOW. It’s been a wild few weeks, hasn’t it? We’ve been lying low over here. Our kids haven’t left our neighborhood in probably two weeks or so, and we only go out to get groceries and to go to work. Anyway. I thought we’d talk about surviving social distancing and how to make it easier […]
**Hi friends, Several weeks ago, Brandon and I went to Disney. This blog post has been written, scheduled, and images done for weeks. At this time, I have chosen to still post this blog post–not because I’m insensitive to what’s going on in our world right now, but because I believe we need a little […]
Last week, I had the privilege of attending Social Media Marketing World for the second year. And for the second year in a row, it blew me away. If you missed my post “The Introvert’s Guide to Attending a Conference” from last year, you can find that HERE! This year, I wanted to give my […]
In honor of this day, I thought we’d chat about little ways to show kindness to those in our lives. “Amazon Prime” a friend a good book you just read and think they’d enjoy too. Write someone a card and SNAIL MAIL it to them. (You never know how much they might need your […]
Back in October, I got my nose pierced. Yes, that’s right…a month before I turned 34, I did what 18 year olds do. 😉 Allow me to share some background on how this came up. Back in 10th grade, I played volleyball for 16.3 seconds. And the coach was this adorable blonde with, you guessed […]
