Twas the day before break… Twas the day before break and all through the class, not a student was learning, that time has passed. The teacher was stressed, so much to do. Her entire room covered in red glitter and glue. The students excited, break plans in their head. Working on a sugar rush from being happily fed. Desks to …
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.

Snow day parody…
Twas the first snow day and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even the little girl. Mom snuck downstairs with laptop in hand with hopes to start writing to gain more fans. I open the curtains and what do I see? A world of white waiting for me. A jeep full of snow, a van full …
