The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly {Our First Two Weeks of School}

Tweet Well, our second week of school is just about at it’s end, kicking off our busy weekend with a half day tomorrow. Did I mention that my kids have a minimum day every Friday? Seems to somehow make up for the crazy busy, hectic chaos that is Monday through Thursday. But, I digress. Where [...]

With each new school year came [...]
