Back to School- Uniform Deals!

It is that time of year! Our pocket books become smaller and our uniform ownership becomes larger. I have 3 children to outfit, and while I am not opposed to hand-me-downs, I have some seriously messy kids during the school year. The pants wind up split in the knees, and the shorts are discolored in the backside, the polo's are all stained and not as white as they once were. Therefore, I find myself buying new uniforms every year. Boo, right! I am listing the best deals I can find. I am not linked to these sites in any way, or paid for this. This is just me being informational.

Kids and Cell Phones

One weekend a bit of time ago, I was lounging on my couch and noticed my kids were being so quiet and so chill. I looked up and realized why. All three of them were on some type of electronic device. One was on my iPhone, one was on the iPad, and the other was on the computer. It was not a rainy day, or a cold day. It was an Autumn day, and it was beautiful outside. When I was young, I would have been outside, and I would have already been outside for hours. How and where did I go wrong? What is the obsession and how did I fall for it? 

My Life vs. My FB Life

As I glance through my home timeline on Facebook, I see some great photos. I see special events, births, birthdays, holidays, first days of school or preschool...or daycare. I see anniversaries and marriages. I see fun times and vacations. I see the best of everyone. Is it?

Team Spirit?

It is the middle of the summer, but yet we are gearing up for the new school year already. I have the school supply lists in my purse, and I am searching online for the best sales on school uniforms. This is expensive in itself, but there is one cost we bear without thinking, extracurricular activities. When I was a child, there were those kids that were involved in dance and piano lessons, not me. I was a country kid running out in the woods with my friends and cousins. I feel that now we are obsessed with the level of activities our children participate in. Is it for them? Is it for us? Is it a Jone's thing?
