I first became a mom at the age of seventeen and as anyone can imagine it being a teen mom was rough. Coming from a small town where it was extremely common for people to jump to conclusions about situations instead of using common sense or asking direct questions or using context clues to sift…

The elementary school kids in my district had conference week last week. This is usually a time right around the release of report cards when students are dismissed at 11:45, allowing teachers free time during work hours to coordinate parent-teacher conferences.

Last week was the beginning of a new school year for my kids. As always we made our last-minute runs regarding school supplies, clothes, shoes, and groceries (all my kids take a packed lunch from home) in preparation for the upcoming week.
