Gearing up for delving into the world of becoming the mother of an elementary school student has consumed most of my days for the past few weeks. I’ve been in a ‘nesting’ sort of mode – clearing out cabinets and storage areas, and rearranging areas in our house to accomodate homework, backpacks, papers, and more.…

Yesterday we began our two-week countdown till Nathan officially starts Kindergarten. He's ready. I'm totally ready. But, not emotionally. I'm excited at the thrill of him finally delving into "real" school, as he calls it and excited at the possibilities for him. He's super-smart, super-social (hmm, wonder where he gets all that from?!), and super-excited! …

Last week before the boys left town, I took Nathan for his first official school supply shopping spree. I know, I know, I am so sentimental, but I can't help it. I LOVE school supply shopping and since Target had all their junk out already, I decided it would be best to take him early…

We've made two trips to the library just this week and have filled our library book baskets in our family room with lots o' great reads. Both Nathan and Will are in the summer reading program and loving to jot down each day the books they've read onto their summer reading log. In addition to…

Last Friday I took the kids bowling for the first time this summer. I am certain it won't be our last! We've already lined up to meet my dear pal, Krista, and her two boys for bowling one day over the next week or so, and plus, it is SO dirt cheap since I signed the kids up…

Today was such a bittersweet day for me as I am sure it has been for many of you who have Kindergarten and older kids. It was Nathan's last day of Pre-K! Thankfully, though, it's not his last day being at the school we have come to love over the past few years. He will…

Since soccer was cancelled today due to rain (again!) I decided to take the kids to Pet Pals Day at Deanna Rose Farm – one our favorite places! I still think it's hands-down – the best place to take your kids for an outing here in Kansas City! The day was a little too chilly…

Nathan is trying to run his school, seriously. A while back he suggested to his teacher that they needed to have a Wacky Wednesday as they did at his "old" preschool. He explained to her what exactly a Wacky Wednesday was and she went for it! Today was the designated day. Nathan has been looking…

Disney on Ice at Kemper Arena in Kansas City last night was fantastic! We all had such a great time. Our favorite Disney characters, popcorn, cotton candy, silly hats – what more could you want out of family entertainment? We got to take part in a special VIP meet-and-greet session where we arrived a little early…
