The witching hour… I have done it. After three plus years of doing the school run, I have finally tackled the school run witching hour.

Weighted blankets…
Weighted Blankets A few months ago I decided to get Little Girl a weighted blanket. She would pop up and down for a solid hour after tuck in. Back and forth my husband and I would go. Sleep has always been an issue with her so I knew I had to get something that would help and a weighted blanket …

Punishment fit the crime…
I saw a news article this past week about a father and the punishment he gave his daughter. His daughter was kicked off the school bus for the second time for being a bully. She lost the ability to ride the bus to school. What did dad do? He made her walk. In his defense, he was driving behind her to …
Is this a thing now…

A Rough Weekend…
I am so thankful for insurance. I know. That is a strange way to start a blog post. But I have never had to think about it before.

Children’s Hospital CHAD…
Little Girl had her first appointment with a fantastic Doctor at Children’s Hospital (CHAD). She is seeing an endocrinologist to figure out why she is not growing at a pace that she should.
