What It’s Like Being The Oldest Sister During The Teen Years
It’s exhausting being the smartest, prettiest, and overall best sister. That’s really all I have to say. I am the oldest of three while being the best. I can only imagine how my sisters feel trying to reach my level. I actually feel kind of bad for them. LOL imagine. I’m just joking. My sisters are great, doing great things, and I love them. In my MomJonz voice, “I will throat punch you if you mess with one of them.”

Distance Learning – Should I Let My Teen Set Up Shop From Their Bedroom
Distance learning is in full effect for the school year 2020-2021. We started distance learning today, September 8. Once it was confirmed that our school year would begin 100% online, I swore up and down to my husband that our teenagers would NOT set up shop in their rooms.

Well…that didn’t happen. Orientation took place last week, and we agreed the kids could set up wherever they wanted because it wasn’t a full day. You can…

Best Tip In Handling Distance Learning
Distance learning is happening this year. It’s 2020, the school year of COIVD-19, and many kids are heading back to school online. As a matter of fact, some have already started. Our kids have not. Our school system delayed the start of the year by a couple of weeks. So, we will begin after Labor Day. I guess they are getting their life together as I like to say.
