I scream, you scream, we all scream “IT’S BACK-TO-SCHOOL time!” Yes, I love summer vacation and being home with the kiddos, but I also love when everyone packs up and heads out the door for a few hours each day.

Mamas, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Yes, you read that right! So many times as moms we feel we are on this journey by ourselves, and no one understands “OUR” situation. I remember when I had my first daughter. We were living in Kingsbay, GA. No family nor friends in the area. We were excited … [Read more…]
