I love makeup! I love it so much that I used to blog about it. The ritual of putting it on relaxes me. Putting on a quick face of makeup has pulled me out of many a funk, especially those postpartum blues. But now as a busy mom of two littles, I don’t have time in the morning for a full face of glam. I need quick and easy but also put together. Here are my favorite products for a five-minute busy momma face.
Tinted SPF. Girl, don’t skip the sunscreen. Your face in your forties will thank you. I have really sensitive skin and I love the Elta md tinted spf. I apply a pea size amount and...
Dear Teachers,
I see you. Cheerful. Laughing. Balancing your coffee and clipboards.
I see the hours you put into making your classroom just right. I see your bag filled with crafts, books, binders, and stickers.
I see your eyes. Mindful, assessing, and always aware.
I see the worry behind those eyes. The self-doubt. The worry of letting your students down.
I see all the time you dedicate to being the best teacher and you are truly amazing.
As a parent I want you to laugh with my children. I want you to enjoy being in the classroom.
I love that you go above and beyond. Thank you for encouraging my children, correcting them, and exposing them to new things.
I appreciate that you care for your students....
Feeling like having a lazy day, but you want to appear proactive?
Have you ever had a day where you wanted to have fun with the children but didn’t want to drive anywhere or leave the house? Since Louisiana weather can change throughout the day, here are some ideas for indoor and outdoor activities. I hope you enjoy them.
Indoor Activities:
Grab a large poster board and some markers. Make a poster supporting a cause that your kids care deeply about. Our household recently made one to support the baby sharks. We’re serious about the sharks and dinosaurs but it’s a little late for the Dinos. Bonus points if you make a rhyme to go along with your cause. Your kids will...
As a new school year begins most parents and students are excited to begin a new chapter. New grade, fresh supplies, school uniforms and let's not forget the brand new shoes. I am an anxious mom this time of year because we have two speech-delayed children starting school. One starting kindergarten and one starting pre-k 3. Transitions from one school to the next or one grade to the next can be tricky for those with developmental delays. A new teacher, new classroom, and schedule can be triggering. But I do have so much excitement to begin another year of tremendous growth. So, how did this all start?
Early Intervention Is Key
When my firstborn was 15 months, our pediatrician asked about...
There is a lot of preparation that goes into starting a new school year. We buy our little ones school supplies, new uniforms, and lunch box goodies. Another great way to prepare is to brush up on the Louisiana traffic laws dealing with school transportation. This is important because distracted driving is a major cause of traffic accidents and injuries surrounding schools. In fact, the Transportation Research Board has found that 25,000 children are injured annually while walking to or from school. To keep our babies safe, let's refresh ourselves on the rules on school roads.
Slow Down in School Zones
Louisiana law places a speed limit of 20 mph in school zones. Although, some schools have posted lower speed limits...
