Free Home Spa Treatments for Moms… sort of

It’s funny, I didn’t realize that I have never gotten a spa treatment until I sat down to write this post. I have had a massage because I had sciatica and that was the one effective way I found to relieve the pain. I had a manicure and pedicure before my wedding. But I have never been to a spa just to relax and be pampered. And with a full-blown toddler and a soon-to-be toddler at home, I don’t think […]

Hey Mama, Your REAL Life is BETTER than Someone Else’s Instagram

Elementary School Parents: 19 Kinds You’ll Find in Every School

When you think about it, an elementary school is a microcosm of society. Nearly every facet of American culture is represented in the diverse assemblage of students, teachers, staff, and parents.
