Back to School Already?

Published about 9 hours ago • 2 min read

​.​

Hi Reader,

I can't believe summer is almost over, can you?

Here in Minnesota most schools haven't started yet but I hear some local districts are starting next week already, which seems so early. Our kids' online school doesn't start until after Labor Day, which is nice.

I realize though that much of the schools around the country have already started! If that's you, I hope it's going well so far.

I'm a little nervous for the first week or so back. Sure, they're enrolled in the same district as last year and with them being home a lot of the back to school jitters aren't a big deal but it's still a huge adjustment for us all.

With that in mind, I'd like to share some printables with you that may help in this back to school season.

As you may know, I have my printables listed in my own shop, on Etsy, and on Teachers Pay Teachers. I don't have to pay extra fees when people buy from my own shop but people tend to be more comfortable with the others, which I get. It's nice if you already have your payment information in Etsy to buy there instead of somewhere new. So I'll include Etsy links below.

Healthy Relationship Tips: Scheduling Time Together and Apart

. Hi Reader, How are you doing? My husband and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary over the weekend. We kept things low key but had a nice time. It's nice that our kids are the ages that they can be downstairs watching a football game on TV while we spend a couple hours chatting and working on a craft project together he came up with. We even dressed up, which doesn't happen often! Of course, after a couple hours the kids started fighting and we had to break them up BUT it was...

Guess What?! I'm NOT a perfect parent and that's ok!

. Hi Reader, How are you doing? I've been feeling like I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Sorry for the graphic imagery if you're a person like me who visualizes what you hear. Really though, I feel like I'm running around doing everything at home, in terms of my chronic health conditions, and my businesses. Yet...I still feel like I'm not gaining much traction any aspect of my life. If you are feeling that way, or have in the past, I just want you to know you're not...
