Value vs Affordability: A Summer Camp Dilemma
One afternoon in January 2018, I closed my laptop with a confident smile, clapping my hands together and thinking “Good to go!” I had just finished comparing my camp prices with local music camp competitors’ prices and found that I was again right in line with the norm for camps that offer a similar experience. Our camps averaged $450 per week and, as someone who is super proud of my team as well as the quality of our product, I have always been confident that these prices accurately reflect our value.
Fast forward to April 2018, when I myself was looking at summer camp options...
My husband called me over excitedly, "LOOK!"
JoJo Siwa is coming to New Orleans.
Our kid is obsessed. She is having a JoJo birthday party, has touched every piece of JoJo merch in Target. She has taught all of her little sisters the songs and dance moves. Clearly, she bought high top shoes.
We quickly pulled up event tickets, ready to spend a few dollars to make all her dreams come true. As soon as the prices popped up, it was a big giant NOPE for me.
The nosebleed, touching-the-outer-wall-of-the-arena seats are $125 per ticket before taxes and fees. NOPE.
My husband tried to convince me to buy the tickets anyway. And maybe for some of you, this is the chance to truly celebrate your...
Lately, my anxiety has been in overdrive. Maybe it is the beginning of spring / summer activities, the fact that I am searching for the “perfect” high school for my son or work being work. I am not sure of the exact reason; all I can tell you is that it has been rough.
Balancing being a flawed human raising small humans and trying to keep it all together is not for the weak. We as women feel like we need to do ALL the things. We need to make sure everyone in our family is taken care of. We worry about our friends that need us. Sometimes we even worry about people around the world and what we should...
We all hear the sayings and read the memes about how 30 is the new 20 and 40 is the new 30 and so on. We read them and we all know that those people are LYING!
When you are 20, you take Advil because you have cramps or a headache. When you are 30, you take Advil because the joint you never knew existed between you elbow and your forearm now hurts so badly you can’t think straight!
In your 20's, you stay out late with your friends and get up the next day, splash water on your face and you're fresh as a daisy. In your 30's, you get up, look in the mirror and wonder why your...
I first heard of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) when my oldest was between 7-10 months old. We were at our very first ever play date, a monthly get together set up by a mom in our church. I had no concept of MOPS, or even play dates, I was still so new to motherhood. All I knew is that I craved friendship and connection with other moms.
MOPS is a great way to disconnect from the chaos that motherhood can bring and to connect with moms just like yourself.
I was told that at MOPS you eat brunch, talk with other moms at your table, and make a craft while someone else watches your child or children for two hours. That...
