Prepare yourself, Game of Thrones is ending.
Over the past 8 seasons, we loyal Game of Thrones fans have been introduced to some of the most intriguing characters from Robert Baratheon to the Knight King, Arya and The Hound, and my personal favorite Sansa Stark.
While parenting may not be the first thing you think of when you think about Game of Thrones, there have been some incredibly interesting mom styles on this show. Some relatable and some downright insane. The wonderful parallel about Game of Thrones is that as wild as some of the characters are, they’re also quite relatable.
Cersei
Let’s start with Cersei. Cersei is the Kris Jenner of Westeros. She takes the term boss mom to the next level....
Well, it's no longer "gonna be May!" It's MAY! And this is potentially the most dangerous time to be me (or most teachers, honestly). It's that May-gical time between Spring Break and Summer where that one week off gave me a taste of that sweet summertime, and now I'm on the countdown. But I'm not just counting down the 13 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes time until summer break; I'm counting down the time until summer ME.
Summer Me is a different human being. Summer Me is barely recognizable to my husband, kids, and even myself. She does things that Work Me wouldn't dream of doing. Summer Me has balls (mainly sno-balls, but you also get the idea).

Does Increased Screen Time Affect Eyesight?
Whether we like it or not, children are getting more and more screen time, both at home and school, now that educational materials are digital. At school, children are given laptops and tablets to use to follow along with their teacher during classwork. In my experience, at least some teachers are administering assessments via the book publisher’s website instead of the traditional paper tests. And while at home, students are often required to complete assigned lessons through their teacher’s website.
Having educational resources readily accessible online is a great way to aid in learning, but it can also cause eye strain due...
Scene: My family of four is at the water park. My husband is monitoring our oldest as she tries to gradually increase the length of the invisible tether he's keeping. He's granting her freedom to explore and I'm hanging back at the picnic tables with our youngest. He's completely worn out from water and sun, ready for a cuddle with mom in the shade where he's most likely to share a snack.
From the bench at the picnic tables, I'm entertained by all bodies in motion and trying to remember every facet of these fleeting seconds I have in this carefree moment. My chin resting on my son's head, his head on my chest and my arms are wrapped around...
So I’m a crafty mom. One that loves the invention of Pinterest, but if I’m honest, I’d be just as over the top without it. I doodle lunch notes for my school kids. Everyday. Everyday, I’ve only missed one. I Elf on the Shelf with the best of them and I draw pictures with pancakes, make handmade Halloween costumes, and thoroughly enjoy school free days.
We’ve all seen those random stories circling the web of the dad that doodles amazing lunch bags, moms that make extravagant lunches, the mom whose Elf legitimately walks around the house. And the comments that follow are how shallow they are. Who has the time?! Surely they don’t work a real job. Here’s the thing,...
