Menu Plan Monday: Almost Back to School!
To be honest, for me, it IS back to school. Two of my three left the house at 6:13 this morning. My oldest boy has a couple weeks before he moves into his college dorm. I am sad. I am devastated. I hate getting older, because it means my babies are growing up. Anyway, enough […]

Why is this time of the year so insanely busy? It is like everyone suddenly realized that they only have a few weeks left with my kids and need to pack in all the learning and extra-curricular things they can before Summer. LOL! Plus, I realized that I only have a few short weeks without […]
