My husband and I always say to them, “Can you do me a favor and please stop growing?” Which we are kidding about, sort of… Some unsolicited advice I would give to moms with younger kids… Continue

Moni Trying Again

The last time I wrote a blog and I spoke about how our recycling committee at school was doing an amazing job doing their part for the environment. Unfortunately, when school restarted the city refused to pick up the recycling, thus placing us in the same position as we started at the beginning of last year. The city refused to pick it because it was inconvenient and not on their pick-up plan. All the heard work that we did last year was wasted. We are trying especially hard to restart the recyc… Continue
