Summer Slump [suhm-er sluhmp]: noun. When the novelty of not having to get up and make school lunches every morning wears off, and the reality of spending every waking moment with your children sets in.

Anyone else there? No? Just me? Don’t get me wrong, I am LOVING my kids not waking up until 9 (ok not the newborn), not having breakfast until 10 and not being dressed until noon (shhh don’t tell my hubby who leaves for work at 5:45). But by 2-3pm every day i’m ready for some *space* from these always-angelic (err… or something..)… Read the rest

But finally our last day has arrived. Oldest has had one heck-a-va amazing kindergarten teacher and we had to show her a little love on the last day.

4th of July Party Game Quiz

6 / 10 / 164 / 22 / 20

Independence day always has me feeling nostalgic. Growing up we lived in this quaint little commuter town on the outskirts of Manhattan.

All that magical summer amazing-ness that is supposed to happen… all those trips, family reunions, vacations… yup- its all up to me! … Read the rest
