Today, my oldest started her second year of preschool–her last before she heads off to “The Big School” (as she calls it). While summer was fun in its relaxing, no-schedule kind of way, we have all been craving more of a routine lately. We were ready for this school year to begin. Of course, ready …
At the beginning of last year, I started keeping an online journal of sorts (just in a Google Doc) that I affectionately dubbed “The Motherhood Diaries.” Since there is much of my day-to-day life that I don’t share on the blog but that I still want to remember, this was my best solution to ensure …
