Back to School Word Search #BTS
Now I know some of us are torn about back to school and whether it’s a good thing or not. I mean on the one hand summer is ending and the weather is about to take a dive into single digits in the future again. That makes this Mom want to cry. But, on the other hand, the kids will get to see their friends again and that should make them happy. At least I hope that makes them happy. Then there’s the return to a typical routine – Fall brings a different rhythm to life – that’s for sure. What side of the fence do you fall on? Are…

Back to School Coloring Page Printable
It’s almost back to school time so start getting ready. Maybe you already are getting ready. There are a few small things I used to do to help get my little ones ready for back to school season. There’s back to school clothes shopping of course and then there’s back to school preparation such as driving by school to help my littles remember where they are going. They used to need a lot of help transitioning to school. My one daughter had pretty severe separation anxiety and it took her years to get accustomed to the back to school routine. Whether your child is easygoing, or slow to warm up,…

Learning Resources For Kids with Special Needs
It’s the time of year when updating Individualized Education Plans and getting all the specialists lined up again takes a front seat here at my house. This past week I spent a few hours juggling the numerous doctors and people I want sitting at the table when my daughter’s new IEP is revised. She has been identified now with a learning disability in one area of math. It took me four years of pushing the school to believe that and it also took a private educational assessment that cost us a lot of money this summer. But it’s all good because I am certain we will each have the proper…

Braid Like a Boss with Goody Back to School Hair Accessories
This post is part of the YummyMummyClub.caand Goody #GoodyTips sponsored program. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post about simple braids reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors. Back to school means racing out the door with lunches made and backpacks ready, and not a moment to spare. Some days, time is so tight that we scarcely have a moment to do the hair and teeth checks as we kiss them good bye and wish them a great day. Luckily though,as a Mom of girls, and a lifetime owner of long hair myself, I have a few handy and simple braids that will…

Five Back to School Necessities for Tweens #TMMBTS
Zwipes It’s so close to the first day of school I can almost hear the ringing of the bell from here. Oh wait, maybe that’s the ringing in my ears from the horrific screams of my children wanting to stay home a bit longer. In any case, school is so much sweeter when you start a new grade with the right tools. Lucky for you, I can tell you what they are. Five Back to School Necessities 1. Zwipes: Hello, how perfect is that for my teen? She can customize with accompanying pen and doodle how she wants. This binder is one I have had my eye on for so…

It’s almost Back to School Time. Hold Me.
shutterstock Is that the sound of my sanity snapping? I think it could be. Here I am ALMOST at the end of August. In denial? Sure. Freaking out? Absolutely. WHERE DID MY SUMMER GO? So here it is, almost back to school time. The most wonderful time of the year. Right? RIGHT?? You know that commercial with the “That Was Easy” theme. Press a button and send them back to school with new supplies and then do a little happy jig that summer is over. Well, I kind of wish they had a version of that for special needs parents. This is my back to school for special needs…

Back to School Butterscotch Pudding #giveaway
Bring on the butterscotch pudding. By the end of September every parent around will be searching for new lunch ideas and snacks to pack in children’s lunches. It doesn’t take long to run out of ideas each school year. But this year I have a great butterscotch pudding snack I am happy to have found for the kid’s lunches. Puddin’ SqueeZ pudding on the go snacks that will clearly kick things up a notch. Let’s be honest. Back to School is not my favourite time of year. Reason number one: the fall signifies the start of the miserable weather slide that ends with snow and shovels and misery. Reason number two: One…
