This "Mom" thing is hard

Last night, after I got my delightful little monsters to bed, I was standing in my kitchen loading the dishwasher when I realized it. You know what? This "Mom" thing is f'n difficult. I've got 4 kids, oldest being 11, and I still don't feel like I have my ducks in a row. I had no idea how difficult motherhood would be!

Lunch Box Notes Sept. 2016

I may have a good stock pile of lunch notes left from last year but with all 4 kiddos in school, I plan to go through them fast! And most of the ones left are rather generic so I want to get some more "fun" ones.

Found from a Google Search. Couldn't pull up the website sadly

School Days= School Daze

I can't believe another school year has started!!! As of yesterday, I officially have all 4 kiddos in school. I've got a 5th grade (gasp!), 4th grader, 2nd grader, and Pre-k kiddo!

Every year I create these cool info list on each of the kiddos and yesterday I was comparing them to the very first time I did them, 3 years ago. What a change for each of the big kids!!!!
