Summer is almost over and so are the days of living by the pool. I am super laid back around our house during summer break. We live in pjs unless we go somewhere, and as long as my girls brush their...
Earlier this Spring, we teamed up with Oklahoma Shirt Company to sell our team shirts, with $5 of the cost going to a "teacher fund." This was an extremely important initiative to us at Oklahoma City Moms Blog, because...
We've all been there. It's 8 o'clock on a school day and you need to get the kids out the door, but you've just realized that you forgot to pack lunches. You scramble, you improvise and you manage to...
We don't deserve teachers. No, seriously, we don't. They're underpaid and under-appreciated, and they show up anyway. They love the hard-to-love kids with every fiber of their beings and they lose sleep at night trying to think of a way to...
