The "Why" Word :: Tips For Fostering Critical Thinking Skills At Home From A Teacher Mom School has kicked off for most students in the Baton Rouge area. School supply lists have been labeled and shipped off in stuffed backpacks and store bags. New uniforms, clothes, and shoes have been picked with care, hoping they’ll last at least through the holiday season. For almost 15 years, I had the pleasure of feeling the hustle and bustle of the first days of school as an English teacher and eventually as a principal. Through that journey, I became a mom and the extra pressure to get my students and children ready could be a think piece in itself.  As my daughter got older,...
As moms, we all know the struggles of trying to get our kids up and out the door on school mornings. Whether you have one kid or five, it can easily become a stressful and hectic time for everyone. Having structured routines is so important for my sanity as a mom, including what we do before bed. Today I'm sharing 5 night time tips to make your school morning run smoother. We live 30 minutes from school (when the traffic is good), so I knew going into the school year we had to have a good routine in place. After about a month of school, I’m happy to report the procedures we've put into place each night have been a...
Talking To Your Kids About Drugs In this day and age, our children are facing way more peer pressure and stress than we ever did. Our days were filled with play, instead of electronics. Everyone knew everyone, it was a safer time. With the opioid crisis, it is more important than ever to have that conversation about drugs with your children. Here are a couple of facts and tips on how to have a reciprocal conversation about drugs with your kids. First let’s examine why things are in crisis mode. In the late 1990’s aggressive marketing and physicians reliance on opioids, plus over prescribing played a huge role in more people becoming addicted to pain pills. When they finally caught up...
Navigating My New World Right now, as I write this, I’m taking a break from grading papers. I’m so proud of all of my students’ hard work. It’s an unending pile of the masterpieces my students have worked so hard to complete. I must go through each one and with 26-28 students this year, I’m overwhelmed to say the least. Despite my work, I make sure my boys know they are my priority. Everything in my life could be on fire and I’d be playing hide-and-seek or reading a book with them. I never want them to think they aren’t wonderful and the reason I try so hard with everything. I wanted to be a mom so bad and I was blessed...
I Don't Have Time For Picky Eaters It’s dinner time, the plates are set and the meal is hot and ready. “I don’t like that!”, “It’s yucky!!”, “Can you fix me something else?”  You spent time, money, and exhausted efforts on fixing a meal, no matter how fancy or just boxed meals, and your kids simply won’t eat it. Sound familiar? I’ve been there, and it’s not pretty. Being a working parent with kids in school, extracurriculars, obligations, and everything in between, it’s nearly impossible to be ahead of the game with food that all the family likes. Kids go through stages, and what they loved one minute, they hate the next. My seven-year-old ate breakfast burritos like they were a coveted...
