5 OTHER Reasons to Volunteer with PTA
Disclosure: I had already planned to write this blog post, and then I convinced VolunteerSpot.com to let me add the giveaway component to it. They provided me with a $50 DonorsChoose.org gift card for a separate project that I did for them, which I gifted to a classroom in another school district. They also provided the $50 DonorsChoose.org gift card that I’m giving away at the bottom of this post. Now that school is back in … Read entire article »
Back to School: What Day is It? {giveaway}
Disclosure: Mead provided me with a free On-the-Go Family planner (although I already own three of them). All opinions contained within this post are my own.

Making Bad Things Good

July Gone By
It’s July 27th. The Windows are open, and it’s a balmy 70 degrees outside. This summer has been unique. In terms of weather. In terms of mindset. In terms of activities and to-dos. In terms of life. I read a lot of reminiscent stories that start with, “We used to spend summers…” I’m not sure my kids will ever say that. I’m not sure that I’d want them to. Seems every summer brings a twist … Read entire article »

Ziftit – Gift Giving Made Easy #Ziftlist
Just the thought of picking out a gift for someone makes me cringe. I’m an over-thinker, and I live among a family of folks who are really lousy at saying what they want. I’m really lousy at that too. So, when I had the opportunity to try out Ziftit, a handy-dandy website that creates the ability to not only track wish lists but also to crowd-source funds to buy bigger items and even to link up … Read entire article »
