Premature College Stress – Four Years Too Soon

October 1, 2012

With all the Back-To-School nights over and our kids settled into school and their extra-curricular activities, I should be able to relax.  September madness is over, right?  I thought so, until I went to “Freshman Parent Night” at my son’s new high school last week.  I thought it was going to be a presentation on […]

September 19, 2012

When I first started this blog, I kept hearing, “oh that sounds great, I need all the help I can get with my boys.”  While I do plan to periodically offer advice and tips, (which may seem a bit unorthodox), I realized that right off the bat, I should be sharing my very own coping […]

Oh No, My Kid’s Playing Football

September 17, 2012

Yesterday, Little Dude (in 3rd grade) played in his first flag football game of the season.  He played quarterback for part of the game and he threw like a champ.  When he played on the defense, he went after the other team’s flags like they were running away with his Xbox and he repeatedly dived […]

A New House Rule

September 12, 2012

It had to be done. We made a new rule in our house when school started. Specifically, we said this to our three boys: Sorry dudes, No Video Games During the Week anymore. Yes, this was a dark, dark day in their 8, 12, and 15 year old lives. And, this is what happened [not […]

The Fall Sports Frenzy

September 10, 2012

Here in New York this past weekend, the fall sports frenzy began.  Our kids started school last week and we are barely managing the September madness of buying school supplies, settling into new classroom routines, and after-school activities.  And now, with a mere three school-days under our belt, all the sports teams started with practices […]

Quote of the Week

September 7, 2012

“Mom, I clogged the toilet again.” That should actually be the quote of the DAY in my house because it really does happen — a lot.  To be fair, I can’t put all the blame on my three dudes.  You see, our house, which is ten years old, was built with those annoying low-pressure toilets […]
