August 16, 2015 by Elaine

There were a few tears as I walked them to where their classes were gathering.  I was nervous times three.  I could feel it all morning.  I didn’t even sleep well the night before.  My tummy was full of butterflies and flipping and flopping FOR them.  I can only imagine how they were feeling.  A totally…

This post sponsored by the letter “K”

August 8, 2012 by Elaine

I’m a little nervous about Gavin starting school next week.  And by the way, a little means a lot. I do not feel like he is as prepared as he should be. In so many ways. But I am trying to have faith that he is more prepared than I think. The other night we…
